Contact Lens Exams
Comfort Starts With the Right Fit
Contact lenses should do more than help you see clearly. They should fit well, feel comfortable, and make sense for the way you live.
Whether you’re trying contacts for the first time or looking for a better experience with the lenses you already wear, a contact lens exam helps us find an option that works for your eyes—not just your prescription.
More Than a Prescription
Contact lenses sit directly on the surface of your eyes, so choosing the right lens involves more than matching the numbers on your glasses prescription.
Your doctor will consider your vision, eye health, tear film, corneal shape, lifestyle, and how you plan to use your contacts before recommending a lens.
Options for Different Eyes and Lifestyles
Today’s contact lenses can accommodate a wide range of visual needs.
Depending on your prescription and eye health, options may include:
Daily disposable lenses
Contacts for astigmatism
Multifocal lenses for distance and near vision
Specialty lens designs when appropriate
The goal is to find the right balance of vision, comfort, convenience, and eye health.
What Happens at a Contact Lens Fitting?
Evaluate
We start by looking at your prescription, eye health, tear film, and the shape of your eyes.
Trial
When appropriate, we’ll fit you with trial lenses so we can evaluate your vision, comfort, and how the lenses sit and move on your eyes.
Fine-Tune
Sometimes the first lens is the right one. Other times, a different material, design, or prescription works better.
Follow-up allows us to make those adjustments before finalizing your contact lens prescription.
New to Contact Lenses?
Putting something in your eye can sound intimidating at first.
You’re not expected to already know how to do it. We’ll help you learn how to insert, remove, wear, and care for your lenses safely so you can feel comfortable using them on your own.
Already Wearing Contacts but Not Loving Them?
Dryness, blurry vision later in the day, lenses that move around, or contacts that simply never feel quite right do not always mean you have to give them up.
Sometimes changing the lens material, replacement schedule, design, or fit can make a meaningful difference.
Find Contacts That Work for You
A good contact lens experience starts with finding the right lens for your eyes and your everyday life.
Our doctors can evaluate your needs, explain the options, and help you find a contact lens solution that feels comfortable and gives you the vision you need.
