lens.

optometrist or ophthalmologist who will always advise the
best choice lenses.

optometrist or doctor, then there is minimal to no risk of
infection if you not only follow the prescription but also
the basic hygiene rules of caring and handling it

cosmetic store without consulting your doctor is very
