Expert Contact Lens Fitting Services

When choosing to wear contact lenses for vision correction, ensure that your comprehensive eye exam includes a contact lens fitting every time you need new contacts. Always request a contact lens exam during your regular visits to our optometry practice. It’s important to regularly replace your contacts as recommended, regardless of changes in your vision prescription, because wearing them beyond their intended use can harm your eyes, especially if your prescription changes. When you visit our optometry practice for a contact lens assessment, the process begins with a comprehensive eye exam to ensure your eyes are healthy and to determine the current prescription needed for vision correction. Next, we conduct a contact lens fitting, which involves measuring the curvature and diameter of your eyes to find the best fitting lens for comfort and optimal vision.

We then allow you to try on a pair of contact lenses to assess their fit and comfort on your eyes. During this trial, our optometrist will evaluate how the lenses sit on your eyes, checking for proper alignment and movement with your blink, and ensuring that the lenses cover your cornea adequately without causing irritation or reducing oxygen supply to your eyes.

We also provide instruction on proper lens care, insertion, and removal techniques. This ensures you feel confident and comfortable managing your contact lenses at home. After the initial fitting, we schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor how well you are adapting to your new lenses and make any necessary adjustments. This comprehensive approach ensures that your contact lenses provide optimal vision, comfort, and eye health.
