What Does Contact Lens Exam Entail?

You might be wondering what a contact eye exam involves and what is the difference between an eye exam. A contact eye exam is an assessment done by eye doctor to help determine the suitability of contact lens for your eyes. In this process, we might assess your eye health, take measurements of your corneas, and have a discussion with you about your lifestyle and vision preferences.

Have Contact Lens Exams Regularly

It is important to have a regular contact eye exam because it will ensure that the contact lens fits properly and that you have clear vision. Unlike a normal eye exam, a contact lens exam takes certain measurements of your eyes to properly prescribe the contacts for your needs. This makes a contact lens exam necessary so that you avoid blurry vision and other problems that can come for poor fitting contacts.

Continuous Monitoring of Your Eye Health

An eye exam or contact lens exam can also give our team the chance to assess your eye health. It allows an optometrist on our team can assess the surface of your eye for signs of dryness, inflammation, or any form of infection that might be worsened by contact lens.

Best Practices for Contact Lens Wearers

For those who wear contact lenses, there are best practices that can help make sure you avoid problems that can arise from contact lens use:

•             Proper Care and Maintenance: If you have contact lenses, ensure that you take care of them in an optimal manner. This will help keep you safe from eye infections.

•             Follow the Optometrist’s Recommendation: Make sure that you stick to what the optometrist recommends for disinfecting, cleaning, and storing your contact lens. Do not wear them longer than prescribed.
