The Importance of a Contact Lens Exam

A contact lens exam is a specialized evaluation conducted by an optometrist to determine the right type and fit of your contact lenses. It differs from a standard eye exam as it involves assessing factors like corneal curvature, pupil size, and tear film quality. These specifics help prescribe contact lenses that fit comfortably, provide clear vision, and maintain optimal eye health. It’s essential for those considering or already wearing contact lenses to have regular contact lens exams to ensure proper fit and avoid potential complications.

What Happens During a Contact Lens Consultation?

During a contact lens exam and fitting, our optometrist takes several crucial steps to ensure the perfect match for your eyes:

Lifestyle and Preferences

We will inquire about your lifestyle to ensure your contact lenses align with your daily activities and preferences.

Determining Your Prescription

This is a vital step in the contact lens exam, ensuring that the lenses provide the correct vision correction for your eyes.

Corneal Curvature and Pupil Size

Our optometrist measures the curvature of your cornea and assesses the size of your pupil for optimal fit.

Tear Film Evaluation

The quality of your tear film is checked to ensure that your eyes can comfortably wear contact lenses. If you have dry eyes, we may recommend specific lenses or treatments to address this.

Lens Selection

Based on the measurements and assessments, we recommend the type of contact lenses best suited for your eyes.

Trial Lenses

You may be given trial lenses to wear for a period. During this time, we will assess their fit and whether they provide clear, comfortable vision.

Teaching and Education

We educate you on proper contact lens care, hygiene, insertion, and removal techniques.

Ongoing Monitoring

Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor your eye health and ensure that your contact lenses continue to provide comfort and clear vision.
