“I didn't realise that I could wear contact lenses with my type of prescription, I enjoyed doing the Lifestyle Quiz, and I've booked some time to meet with Paul to discuss my options”

Independent Contact Lens Care in the Heart of Adelaide
Hi, I’m Paul Fotkou, optometrist and owner of Adelaide City Optometrist.
Contact lenses should be selected around the person wearing them—not treated as a one-size-fits-all product. Your prescription matters, but so do your eye health, comfort, work, sport, screen use and preferences.
Our independent team provides complete contact lens care, from detailed assessment and precise measurements to trial fitting, handling guidance and ongoing eye-health checks. Options include daily disposable and monthly lenses, toric lenses for astigmatism, multifocal lenses for presbyopia and specialty fittings when standard options are not enough.
We take the time to listen, explain the alternatives and help you make an informed decision about what may suit your eyes and lifestyle.

Adelaide City Optometrists Contact Lens Fitting
Step 1: Discuss Your Vision and Daily Needs
We take time to understand your prescription, previous lens experience, work, sport, screen use and what you want contact lenses to help you achieve.
Step 2: Complete a Detailed Contact Lens Assessment
Your optometrist assesses your eye health and takes precise measurements to identify lens designs that may provide suitable vision, fit and comfort.
Step 3: Trial Suitable Lens Options
Trial fitting lets us assess how a lens sits and performs on your eyes. Options may include daily, monthly, toric, multifocal or specialty contact lenses.
Step 4: Learn Safe Handling and Lens Care
New wearers receive practical teaching on inserting, removing and caring for their lenses, with time to become confident before wearing them independently.
Step 5: Review Comfort, Vision and Eye Health
Ongoing aftercare and lens-health checks help us review real-world performance and refine the prescription or lens design when needed.

Can contact lenses work if my eyes feel dry?
Dryness does not automatically rule out contact lenses. Your optometrist can assess your eye surface and discuss suitable lens materials or lubricating drops that are compatible with contact lens wear.
