What Is a Contact Lens Exam?
A contact lens exam is more than a standard eye exam. While a routine eye exam checks your overall eye health and vision, a contact lens exam focuses on finding the right lenses for your unique eyes.
During your visit, your optometrist will:
- Evaluate your vision and measure refractive errors (nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism).
- Check the shape, size, and health of your cornea to ensure a safe, comfortable fit.
- Discuss your lifestyle and comfort preferences to recommend the right lens material and wearing schedule.
- Provide a contact lens prescription specifically designed for your eyes.
Types of Contact Lenses
Thanks to advances in vision care, today’s contact lenses are more comfortable and convenient than ever. We offer:
- Rigid Gas-Permeable (RGP) Lenses: Durable lenses that deliver crisp, long-term clarity and excellent oxygen flow to the eyes.
- Daily-Wear Soft Lenses: Lightweight lenses designed for comfort and easy, everyday use.
- Extended-Wear and Extended-Wear Disposable Lenses: Ideal for patients who prefer to wear their lenses for longer hours, even overnight.
- Planned Replacement Lenses: Designed to be replaced on a regular schedule—bi-weekly, monthly, or as recommended for your eye health.
- Specialized Contact Lenses: We also provide specialized lenses, including bifocal and multifocal lenses, for patients with unique vision needs or special eye conditions.
If you have dry eyes, allergies, or sensitive eyes, our optometrists can help identify the best option or determine if glasses may be a better fit.
