Contact lens consultation and fitting in Midrand
Fit first. Supply second
A lens that is merely close enough is not enough. Rosa examines and fits in Glen Austin before any replacement supply.

Who it is for
New and existing wearers who want a fit done in person. Tell Rosa when you book that you want contact lenses, so the hour can include fitting.
What the visit includes
Examination and fitting in the Glen Austin rooms. Comfort and suitability come before convenience. Supply is discussed only after the lens sits well. Aftercare and solutions stay with the same practice.
What to bring
Current lenses and case if you already wear them, plus your glasses. A previous script if you have one.
Three steps
- Say you want contacts when you book.
- Examination and fitting. Comfort and suitability come before convenience.
- Supply only after the lens sits well. Aftercare and solutions are on the aftercare page.
Private billing
We provide an invoice that you may submit to your medical aid, subject to the benefits available on your plan. Exact quotes are given in the room.
When referral may be recommended
If the eyes are not suitable for contact lens wear, or if something needs another clinician, Rosa will say so.
Questions
Can I simply buy contact lenses?
No. An appropriate examination and fitting come first. This is not an online store.
I have worn lenses before. Do I still need a fitting?
Yes. Existing wearers still start with an in-person look at the fit. Bring current lenses, the case, and your glasses.
