Contact lenses
Fitting of all contact lenses at the Noisy-le-Grand practice, including for irregular corneas and keratoconus: assessment, trials, training and follow-up, by Dr Chetrit and Dr Srour.
Contact lenses: the essentials in 30 seconds
- Soft, rigid, toric or scleral: the type of lens is chosen according to your cornea and how you use it.
- Irregular cornea and keratoconus: rigid lenses correct what glasses cannot.
- Made-to-measure fitting at the practice, guided by corneal topography, with trials and tolerance checks.
- We no longer offer orthokeratology (overnight lenses). To slow a child's myopia: myopia-control spectacle lenses and contact lenses, low-dose atropine.
Fitting, step by step
Fitting of all lenses
Beyond ortho-K, the practice fits all types of contact lenses: daily or monthly soft lenses, toric (astigmatism), multifocal (presbyopia) and rigid gas-permeable lenses.
Thanks to corneal topography, we also fit complex cases: irregular corneas, keratoconus, strong prescriptions or previous failed fittings.
Contact lens fitting in Noisy-le-Grand and eastern Paris

Contact lenses: your questions
Answers from Dr Yaïr Chetrit and Dr Mayer Srour, ophthalmologists in Noisy-le-Grand.
Do you fit contact lenses at the practice?
Yes. Fitting takes place at the Noisy-le-Grand practice: measurement of the cornea, choice of material and geometry, trials, training in insertion and removal, then a tolerance check. Soft, rigid gas-permeable, toric and scleral lenses.
Do you offer orthokeratology (overnight lenses)?
No, we no longer offer orthokeratology. To slow a child's myopia, we use myopia-control spectacle lenses, soft myopia-control contact lenses and low-dose atropine, with regular monitoring of progression.
Do you fit difficult corneas, such as keratoconus?
Yes. This is one of the main indications: rigid, hybrid or scleral lenses can correct irregular astigmatism that glasses cannot. Fitting relies on the corneal topography of the practice's diagnostic equipment.
How many appointments are needed for a fitting?
Generally one assessment and trial appointment, then a later check to verify tolerance, visual acuity and the condition of the cornea. Additional trials are sometimes needed with an irregular cornea.
My child is myopic: what can be done to slow progression?
Several methods have proven effective: myopia-control spectacle lenses, soft myopia-control contact lenses and low-dose atropine eye drops, combined with time spent outdoors and limiting screens. The choice is discussed during a paediatric ophthalmology consultation.
Can I wear lenses if I have dry eyes?
Often yes, provided the material, diameter and wearing time are adapted and the dryness is treated at the same time. An ocular surface assessment is carried out before fitting.
Is lens fitting covered?
The consultation is an ophthalmology consultation, covered under the usual conditions. Reimbursement of the lenses themselves depends on the visual problem and your supplementary private insurance (mutuelle); details are explained during the consultation.
Lenses or refractive surgery?
Lenses correct vision without surgery but require daily care. Laser refractive surgery removes dependence on glasses and lenses, after a safety assessment. Both options are discussed during a consultation.
