Contact Lens Guide – Lensmart Singapore

To place an order for contact lenses, you need to know your prescription (eye power) in the first place, and sometimes the measurements (base curve). Usually, the prescription and measurements of the contact lenses that you are using are printed the contact lens package or box that you are currently using. This is how it looks like, although different brands of contact lens may be slight different, but generally all the important information are there.

If you know your prescription, things are pretty easy as all you have to do is enter the correct power and base curve. If you do not know your prescription, you can visit your local eye clinics or optometrists for a proper eye test and consultation. For more information about your prescription, please click HERE.
