No fitting set is available for the Nissel Custom range of lenses. Up to 2 fitting lenses are supplied at no cost.
When happy with the fit and vision (if required) of the lens, the lens can be disposed of and a new lens ordered for Hand Painting. Please send a high resolution digital image (jpeg) of the eye to be matched. This should be taken with a digital camera in good light; a slit lamp camera should not be used. Images of inferior quality will be rejected and will require re-submitting.
