What is a Contact Lens Exam & Fitting?
A contact lens exam is necessary to determine your contact lens prescription — which is different from your glasses prescription — and to ensure that your lenses comfortably fit on your eyes. We’ll also explore your eye health and discuss your lifestyle to see what lenses make the most sense for you.
We use advanced measurement tools like corneal topography, optical coherence tomography, and digital refraction to take detailed measurements of your eyes and determine if you have any front of eye conditions, like dry eye or keratoconus, that we need to account for. A subsequent fitting pairs you with the most comfortable contacts, which you then take home for a trial period. We’ll follow up with you to make sure your lenses are providing clear, comfortable sight!

Our doctors love working with children of all ages and can help kids learn to use contacts for the first time! Additionally, we offer myopia management lenses for children, to hinder the progression of their nearsightedness now for clearer vision and healthier eyes in the future. We work with your little one to create a comprehensive plan to protect their sight and get them familiar with contacts early on. We’ll show them that contacts are a convenient, easy option — with a little upkeep!
For patients with hard-to-fit eyes or unique vision needs, don’t worry: there are contact lenses here for you! If you have severe astigmatism, you will likely require a toric lens; meanwhile, our dry eye patients and those with sensitive corneas find relief with scleral lenses. Specialty contact lenses means more options to find your best fit. Even if you’ve struggled with contact lenses in the past, we likely have a style that is comfortable for you!
