Contact Lens Exams

Contact Lens Exam

Contact lens exams involve more than an eye exam. They are designed to make sure that your contact lenses not only fit you but also that they won’t damage the eye over time. If you decide wear contact lenses, it is very important that the lenses fit properly and comfortably. A contact lens exam will include both a comprehensive eye exam to check your overall eye health, your general vision prescription and then a contact lens consultation and measurement to determine the proper lens fit.

The Contact Lens Consultation

One of the initial steps in a contact lens consultation is to discuss with your eye doctor some lifestyle and health considerations that could impact the type of contacts that suit you best.

Contact Lens Fitting

When it comes to contact lenses one size does not fit all. Your eye doctor will need to take some measurements to properly fit your contact lenses. Contact lenses that do not fit properly could cause discomfort, blurry vision or even damage the eye. There are several detailed measurements your eye doctor will take for a contact lens fitting.
