Your contact lens examination is different from your spectacle prescription. As a contact lens sits right on top of the corneal surface, measurements must to be taken in order to properly fit the contact lens onto your cornea. After discussion with your optometrist about your visual demands and needs, you will be given a pair of contacts to wear and try to ensure maximal comfort and fit. For those that are new to contact lens, we will provide a class to teach you to properly insert, remove, and care for the contact lenses.
 

It's Time For The Contact Lens Fitting.

The final step is to fit you with a trial pair of contact lenses. Once inserted, your eye doctor will examine the lenses in your eyes to ensure a good fit. He/she will check the alignment and movement of the lenses on the surface of your eye and if the fit looks good, the last step is to ensure the prescription is correct with a few more tests.
 

Now It’s Your Turn To Test It Out.

Your contact lens exam is over, but you’ll need to come back. Your doctor will usually have you wear the trial lenses for a week. After that, you’ll have a short follow-up exam to confirm that the lenses are working well for you and you can then order a supply of contact lenses. If this is your first contact lens exam, don’t worry. Choose a qualified optometrist and they’ll answer all your questions as you go. Just be sure to let them know you’re interested in contact lenses so that they know to allow for extra time in your appointment for the consultation and any specialized tests.
