Why a Contact Lens Exam Is Different From Your Annual Eye Exam

Your comprehensive eye exam checks overall eye health and updates your glasses prescription. A contact lens exam goes a step further, taking exact measurements of the curve and diameter of your cornea, evaluating your tear film, and reviewing lifestyle factors that influence lens choice. These extra tests make sure the lenses rest gently on the eye and deliver clear, stable vision.

What to Expect During Your Contact Lens Fitting

  • Discussion: We review your vision goals and daily activities, from screen time to sports.
  • Detailed Measurements: Using corneal topography and keratometry, we map the surface of your eye.
  • Tear Film Analysis: Healthy tears are vital for comfortable lens wear.
  • Trial Lenses: You’ll try on diagnostic lenses to ensure proper fit and vision.
  • Lens Education: Our team teaches insertion, removal, and cleaning techniques before you leave.

Contact Lens Options We Fit

No single lens works for everyone. Depending on your prescription and lifestyle, we may recommend:

  • Daily disposables for maximum convenience and hygiene.
  • Monthly soft lenses for cost-effective clarity.
  • Toric lenses that correct astigmatism.
  • Multifocal lenses to reduce the need for reading glasses.
  • Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) or specialty lenses for complex corneas.

Caring for Your Contact Lenses & Eyes

Proper care extends the life of your lenses and protects against infection:

  • Wash and dry hands before handling lenses.
  • Use fresh solution, never tap water, to clean and store lenses.
  • Replace the lens case every three months.
  • Avoid sleeping in lenses unless specifically approved by your doctor.
  • Schedule annual exams to confirm your prescription and eye health.
