What is a contact lens exam?
A contact lens exam is not the same as a comprehensive eye exam. It’s a specialized evaluation designed to ensure your lenses fit properly, support your eye health, and provide optimal vision. While a regular eye exam assesses your overall vision and eye health, a contact lens exam includes extra tests and measurements specific to contact lens wearers.
What to expect during your contact eye exam
Here’s what you can expect during your visit:
Detailed vision & eye health assessment
We start with a complete evaluation of your eye health, focusing on your cornea, tear film, and any conditions that might affect lens wear. We will also assess your vision to determine your exact prescription.
Contact lens fitting & instructions
Based on your exam results, we recommend lenses that suit your lifestyle and needs, from daily and monthly options to toric lenses. If you’re new to contact lenses, we will offer personalized guidance on insertion, removal, and care.
Comfort & fit assessment
After you try your lenses, we assess their fit and feel. Any necessary adjustments are made to ensure comfort and effectiveness.
Follow-up care
A follow-up appointment allows us to assess how well you’re adjusting to your new lenses and make any necessary changes to your prescription or lens type.
