What Happens in a Contact Lens Exam?
A contact lens exam includes everything in a regular eye exam, plus a closer look at your eye health and how well lenses will work for you. We use the Antares corneal topographer to map your cornea for a precise and comfortable fit, as well as to monitor your eye health over time.
Contact lens prescriptions are different from glasses prescriptions, so even if you wear glasses, you’ll need a separate assessment to get started.
Your Contact Lens Fitting
Once we’ve determined that your eyes are healthy for contact lens wear, we’ll try different lenses to assess comfort, clarity, and fit. You’ll get to test the lenses in your own eyes and practice inserting and removing them safely.
Fittings are available for both first-time and long-time wearers. We take the time to make sure your lenses are the right match for your vision, your corneas, and your routine.
Contact Lens Hygiene & Eye Health
Wearing contacts is easy once you get the hang of it, but proper hygiene is key to keeping your eyes healthy. We’ll guide you through the process of cleaning, storing, and caring for your lenses to prevent complications such as eye infections or irritation.
We’re here for follow-up support too. If your contacts ever cause discomfort or your vision changes, please give us a call.
Contact Lenses for Different Needs
We offer a wide range of contact lenses, including soft daily and monthly lenses from trusted brands. Here are a few options we may recommend based on your needs:
- Multifocal lenses: Designed to correct both near and distance vision for people with presbyopia, so you can see clearly without reading glasses.
- Toric lenses: Specialized lenses that correct astigmatism by aligning to the unique curve of your cornea.
- Daily disposables: Convenient, hygienic, and great for busy lifestyles or occasional wear.
- Monthly and biweekly lenses: Designed for reuse with proper cleaning and storage, offering more value over time.
- Contact lenses for kids and teens: Active youth can benefit from the freedom that contact lenses provide. We’ll help determine if your child is ready and provide personalized education for safe, comfortable wear.
