Discover the Freedom and Convenience of Contact Lenses
- Need bifocal or multifocal contacts?
- Rigid gas permeable or soft lenses?
- Disposables, dailies or colored contacts?
Contact lenses give wearers a full field of focused vision no matter where you look. Because they move with your eyes, contacts help allow you to track action with sharp and clear peripheral vision. Moreover, if you lead an active lifestyle, contacts provide more freedom and flexibility to enjoy your favorite sports.
A contact lens exam will help us determine the perfect contact lens fit for your eyes and lifestyle!
What to Expect From Your Contact Lens Exam
-
Regular eye exam
During your comprehensive eye exam your optometrist will check that your eyes are healthy and will test your vision to determine your contact lens prescription.
-
Contact lens consultation
During your contact lens exam your optometrist will check for dry eye symptoms and consult with you to determine what type of contact lenses are the best fit for your lifestyle and vision needs.
-
Contact lens fitting
For ideal vision correction and comfort, contact lenses must fit well. Your optometrist will examine the size and shape of your cornea and pupil to ensure the right fit.
-
Contact lens trial and follow-up
Your optometrist will insert trial lenses and ask you to keep them on for 15-20 minutes to be sure the fit is comfortable and vision is clear. After a few days, you'll come in for a follow-up evaluation.
