Yes. Contact lenses should always be fitted by an eye care professional.

Unlike glasses, contact lenses sit directly on the cornea. The curvature of the lens, its diameter, and the material must match the surface of your eye precisely.
During a professional fitting, the optician checks:

• your exact prescription
  
• the curvature of your cornea
  
• the quality of your tear film
  
• the overall health of your eyes
  

This ensures that the lenses fit comfortably and safely.

At Maison Mata in Bali, our opticians can perform vision checks and help determine the most suitable contact lenses for your eyes and lifestyle.

Most contact lenses are designed to be worn between 8 and 14 hours per day, depending on the type of lens and your eye sensitivity.

Even modern lenses that allow high oxygen transmission still reduce the natural oxygen reaching the cornea.

If lenses are worn for too long, it may lead to:

• dryness
  
• redness
  
• irritation
  
• discomfort at the end of the day
  

Giving your eyes time without lenses allows the cornea to recover and re-oxygenate.

If you spend long days working on screens, traveling, or enjoying outdoor activities in Bali, it is important to respect the recommended wearing time and remove lenses when your eyes begin to feel tired.

The most common types of contact lenses are:

Daily disposable lenses

• worn once and discarded
  
• extremely hygienic
  
• ideal for occasional wear or active lifestyles
  

Monthly lenses

• worn daily and replaced every month
  
• Require proper cleaning and disinfection each night
  

Specialty lenses

• designed for specific vision corrections or eye conditions
  
• may include toric lenses for astigmatism or multifocal lenses
  

At Maison Mata boutiques in Bali, we help clients choose the most suitable option depending on their vision, comfort, and how often they wear lenses.

Eye care professionals strongly recommend avoiding contact lenses in water.

Water from swimming pools, oceans, lakes, or even tap water may contain microorganisms that can attach to the lens and infect the eye.

When water becomes trapped between the lens and the cornea, bacteria or parasites can multiply and cause serious infections.

For water activities such as surfing, swimming, or diving in Bali, the safest options are:

• wearing daily disposable lenses
  
• using protective swimming goggles
  
• removing and discarding the lenses immediately after the activity
  

If you regularly practice water sports, an optician can help you choose the safest lens option.

Yes. Contact lenses are safe when used correctly.

Millions of people wear contact lenses every day without complications. The key is to follow proper hygiene and replacement guidelines.

Important habits include:

• washing hands before handling lenses
  
• respecting the recommended wearing time
  
• cleaning lenses properly if they are reusable
  
• replacing lenses according to the schedule
  
• avoiding sleeping in lenses unless prescribed
  

At Maison Mata, our opticians regularly advise clients on how to wear contact lenses safely, especially for people who are new to lenses or visiting Bali for an active lifestyle.

Contact lens wearers should have a professional eye exam at least once a year.

Regular eye exams allow an optician or optometrist to:

• check the health of the cornea
  
• verify that the lenses still fit correctly
  
• update the prescription if needed
  
• detect early signs of dryness or irritation
  

Even if your vision feels stable, regular check-ups are important for long-term eye health.
