What to Expect During a Contact Lens Exam and Fitting

If you’re considering contact lenses, it’s an exciting step! To help you on your journey, we will guide you through the contact lens fitting process, which starts with a comprehensive eye exam.

The Eye Exam

The first step is a thorough eye exam, where your optometrist checks the health of your eyes and measures your vision. This exam helps ensure that your eyes are healthy and suitable for contact lenses. It includes tests for conditions like cataracts, dry eyes, and retinal health.

Contact Lens Fitting

Once your eye exam is complete, we’ll move on to the contact lens fitting process. We’ll measure the curvature and diameter of your eyes to ensure the perfect fit for your lenses. If you have specific needs, like astigmatism or dry eyes, we can recommend special lenses that will work best for you. We’ll also assess your tear film to make sure your eyes can comfortably wear contact lenses.

Trial Lenses and Education

After choosing your contact lenses, you’ll try on a trial pair. We’ll show you how to insert, remove, and care for your lenses. Then, you’ll wear them for a short period and return for a follow-up visit to ensure they’re comfortable and providing clear vision.

Why Choose Contact Lenses?

Millions of people choose contact lenses because they offer freedom from glasses and a more active lifestyle. If you’re looking for a convenient option that fits your personal style, contacts might be just what you need.
