Contact lens Examination
While determining your eyeglasses prescription is an integral part of the exam, it alone is not sufficient for contact lenses. This thorough examination ensures a comprehensive understanding of your visual needs and eye health for optimal contact lens fitting.
Types of Contact Lenses
When exploring contact lens options, factors to consider include preferences for daily disposables or monthly disposable lenses. Additionally, if you have specific eye conditions like astigmatism or dry eye syndrome, your eye doctor can offer tailored recommendations for the type or brand that best suits your comfort and vision requirements.

A contact lens exam involves several steps to ensure the proper fit, comfort, and health of your eyes when using contact lenses.
During the consultation, your eye doctor will discuss your lifestyle, preferences, and health history. Factors such as how often you plan to wear contact lenses, daily activities, and any existing eye conditions or allergies will be considered to recommend the most suitable type of lenses.
Your eye doctor will discuss various contact lens options, including daily disposables, monthly disposables, soft lenses, rigid gas permeable (GP) lenses, toric lenses for astigmatism, multifocal lenses for presbyopia, and colored lenses for those interested in changing or enhancing eye color.
Precise measurements are crucial for a proper fit. The following measurements may be taken:
- Corneal Curvature: Assessed with a keratometer to determine the curvature of the front surface of the eye.
- Pupil or Iris Size: Measured to ensure proper sizing, especially for specialized lenses.
- Tear Film Evaluation: Determines the adequacy of your tear film to prevent dryness and discomfort during lens wear.
Based on the discussion and measurements, your eye doctor may provide trial lenses for you to try on. This step allows you to experience how the lenses feel and assesses their fit and comfort, movement, and tearing in your eyes.
Your eye doctor or a trained staff member will provide guidance on how to insert, remove, and care for your contact lenses. Proper hygiene practices and wearing schedules will be explained to ensure the safe and effective use of your lenses.
A follow-up appointment may be scheduled to ensure the lenses fit well and your eyes are adjusting correctly. If discomfort arises, adjustments to the lens type, disinfecting solution, or wearing schedule may be recommended. Regular check-ups help maintain optimal contact lens use and eye health.
It’s important to note that a contact lens exam is distinct from a regular eye exam. Even if you already have an eyeglasses prescription, a separate contact lens exam is needed to determine the specific parameters for successful contact lens wear. Regular follow-ups and adherence to care instructions contribute to the continued comfort and health of your eyes when using contact lenses.
