They may be required for laboratory work or for work with some machinery. Training may include use of lenses, prisms, filters and activities designed to improve visual skills. These techniques may alleviate symptoms such as headaches around the eyes or back of neck, difficulty reading and sleepiness when doing close work. In order to fill a contact lens prescription, you must first receive a complete vision exam through the Eye Care Clinic to ensure that the contact lenses fit correctly and there are no other eye problems or conditions that warrant further attention. For easy replacement of lenses and for consistency of care, we recommend that contact lens wearers establish a relationship with one of the optometrists.
Contact lenses are often prestocked and available at the time a prescription is written.
You may fill your home doctor's prescription for glasses at the UHS Optical Shop.
