During a contact lens exam, our optometrists conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your eye health to identify any underlying conditions that may affect your ability to wear contact lenses comfortably. This evaluation includes examining the cornea, conjunctiva, and eyelids to check for signs of inflammation, infection, or other abnormalities.
Precise Measurements for Proper Fit
One of the key aspects of a contact lens exam is obtaining precise measurements of your eyes to ensure a proper fit for your lenses. Once we have this information, we can determine the appropriate size and type of contact lenses that will provide optimal vision correction and comfort.
Discussion of Lifestyle and Preferences
During the exam, we will also discuss your lifestyle and preferences with you to recommend the most suitable type of contact lenses. Our eye doctors consider factors like your occupation, hobbies, and comfort to suggest daily disposables, extended wear lenses, or specialized lenses for astigmatism or presbyopia.
Trial and Adjustment Process
After selecting the appropriate type of contact lenses, you will typically have a trial period to test the lenses for comfort and effectiveness. We will provide instructions on how to insert, remove, and care for your lenses. Our optometrists can also recommend other types of lenses if the ones during the trial period are not comfortable.
Regular Follow-Up Appointments
Following your contact lens fitting, it's essential to schedule regular follow-up appointments with your optometrists. These appointments help us detect any changes in your prescription or eye health and make any necessary adjustments.
