While glasses can be a stylish accessory, we understand that contact lenses provide a convenient alternative. To help you discover contact lenses that align perfectly with your visual needs and lifestyle, our contact lens exams address your individual eye health requirements. Our goal is to ensure a precise fit, optimal comfort and superior visual acuity, so you can enjoy the freedom and convenience of contact lenses to the fullest.
The importance of a contact lens exam
Contact lenses rest directly on the eye’s surface, so achieving the correct fit is paramount for clear and comfortable vision. Contact lens exams also provide valuable insights into the health of the eye and allow for timely intervention if issues arise. Regular monitoring is essential to prevent potential complications such as corneal abrasions, infections and dry eye syndrome which can arise from improper lens usage or fit.
What happens during a contact lens fitting?
During your contact lens examination, our experienced optometrists will conduct a thorough assessment of your eye health and vision to determine the most suitable contact lens options for you. Factors such as corneal curvature, tear film quality, and lifestyle preferences are taken into account to ensure a proper fit and optimal vision correction.
How does the assessment work?
We measure various aspects of your eyes, including curvature, size, and moisture levels. We also consider any specific vision corrections required, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, or presbyopia, to select the most suitable lens type and prescription for your needs.
What to expect during your contact lens trial period?
Once the initial assessment is complete, we provide you with trial contact lenses. These enable you to experience how different lens materials and designs feel on your eyes and ensure your choice of lens provides clear and comfortable vision throughout the day.
During the trial period, we also provide guidance on proper insertion, removal, and care techniques to ensure that you feel confident and comfortable with your new contact lenses. We encourage open communication so that we can address any concerns or adjustments needed.
