Contact Lens Exams:
After comprehensvie eye exam testing has been completed, your eye doctor will gather additional information so you can be fitted with contact lenses.
​
You may be asked general questions about your lifestyle and preferences regarding contact lenses, such as whether you might want to change your eye color with color contact lenses or if you're interested in options such as daily disposables or overnight wear lenses.
​
If your eye's surface is found to be somewhat irregular because of astigmatism, you may need a special design of lens known as a toric contact lens (versus a spherical contact lens) that is shaped to offset distortions of your eye to provide sharper vision.
​
To correct presbyopia, your eye doctor may offer you the choice of multifocal or bifocal contact lenses. Another option is monovision, a special contact lens fitting technique where one eye is corrected for distance vision and the other eye is corrected for near vision.
​
One contact lens size doesn't fit all. The doctor will evaluate your eye's surface and contact lens fit to determine the best fit. The health of your cornea will also be evaluated using a biomicroscope.
​
After finding contact lenses that fit properly, are comfortable for you, and provide good vision, your eye doctor can finalize your contact lens prescription. This prescription will designate contact lens power, a shape matching the curvature of your eye (base curve), and diameter.
​
Contact lens eye exams typically cost more than a regular comprehensive eye exam due to additional contact lens related testing.
