Optical Shop
Georgia Ophthalmologists has optical shops conveniently located in both its Covington and Jackson offices; in each location, skilled opticians assemble your glasses, paying close attention to the accuracy of your prescription lenses to provide you the best possible vision. They will also work with you to fit you with the type of contact lenses that are best for you, whether it’s hard or soft lens, daily disposables or extended wear. Both Dr. Jaymini Nayee and Dr. Camilla Donald are skilled at fitting contact lenses to correct even the most challenging vision problems, including keratoconus and astigmatism.
Contact Lenses
A contact lens fitting at Georgia Ophthalmologists is a collaborative effort between you and the doctor to determine what will be the best possible contact lens brand for your prescription, lifestyle, and budget. Dr. Nayee is our contact lens specialist who will work with you to guarantee you get the best possible vision correction with maximum comfort. Whether you are a veteran lens wearer or interested in trying contact lenses for the first time, our fitting process is thorough and always includes a complimentary six month follow-up.

Contact Lens Care
Always wash your hands before handling contact lenses.
1 Rub, Rinse & Soak
Carefully and regularly clean your contact lenses as directed by your eye doctor. Always rub your contact lenses with fingers and rinse thoroughly before soaking lenses overnight in sufficient disinfecting solution to completely cover the lens. Use fresh solution each time you soak the lenses overnight; never re-use old solution.
2 Storage
Store lenses in the proper lens storage case and replace the case every three months. Clean the case with the disinfecting solution and let it air dry overnight. Never use soaps or other cleaners to clean the lens case as residues from these chemicals can absorb into the contact lenses and onto your eyes.
3 Makeup precautions
Insert lenses before applying any makeup and remove lenses before removing makeup from the eye area.
4 Swimming, Showering & Bathing
Do not bathe, shower or swim with your contact lenses in your eye. This can introduce your eyes to harmful bacteria and other organisms. If you do swim, with your contact lenses, immediately discard and open a new pair, or consult your eye doctor about switching to daily disposable lenses during the swimming months.
5 Replacement Schedule
Always follow the recommended contact lens replacement schedule prescribed by your eye doctor.
6 Regular Visits
See your eye doctor for your regularly scheduled contact lens and eye examination.
