What is a Contact Lens Exam?
The Secret to Comfortable Lenses
A contact lens exam is more than just a vision test. It’s a thorough evaluation of your eye health and suitability for contact lenses. Our eye doctors assess the overall health of your eyes, measure your cornea, and evaluate your tear film to ensure your eyes can comfortably and safely support contact lenses. This assessment helps us ensure that contacts are a good fit for you, physically and practically.
From Trial to Perfect Fit
Your Contact Lens Fitting
Once we know you’re a suitable candidate for contact lenses, we move on to the fitting process, tailoring the lenses to fit your eyes perfectly. We measure the curvature of your eye and choose lenses that suit your eye shape. During the fitting, we’ll place trial lenses in your eyes and check their fit and comfort. We’ll also test your sight with the trial lenses to make sure they provide clear vision.
