Do you have an appointment for a contact lens fitting coming up? If it’s your first time trying contacts, you might be a bit anxious about what the appointment entails.

Have you been told you have 20/100 vision and are wondering what that means exactly?
20/100 is a measurement of visual acuity, not a diagnosis. It tells you how clearly you can see at a specific distance.
