What is contact lens exam?

What is a Contact Lens Exam?

Contact lens exams are how our team confirms not just your contact lens prescription – a different prescription from standard eyeglasses – but also the health of the front of your eyes. We’ll examine your cornea for conditions like dry eye disease and keratoconus — while these may make standard contacts difficult to wear, we likely have specialty lenses that can still bring you crisp, healthy vision.

Why is a Contact Eye Exam Important?

Examining your eyes thoroughly, and specifically with contacts in mind, helps us deliver maximum clarity and comfort. Once we understand your measurements, general eye health, and if you fall into the “hard-to-fit” category, we work to find your perfect lenses. With our variety of standard disposable lenses, and specialty lenses like multifocals, toric, scleral, and colored options, we can help you love what you see.

What You Can Expect from Your Contact Lens Exam?

We rely on advanced diagnostic technology to take precise measurements of your eyes to ensure greater accuracy and streamline the fitting process. And, this equipment has the added benefit of being faster and more comfortable than ever. We’ll explain what we learn about your cornea and the front of your eyes, so you understand our recommendations and how to get the most out of your lenses.
