What Are Contact Lens Exams?
A contact lens exam is a beefed-up comprehensive eye exam. They start with a consultation from your optometrist, who will discuss your needs and review your medical history. This is followed by a visual acuity test, a series of eye measurements, tear film evaluation, and the lens fitting. We explore every nook and cranny of your eyes with cutting-edgch, so you are guaranteed a great fit.e te
Why Are Contact Lens Exams Necessary?
We get this question sometimes: why are exams for contact lenses and eyeglasses different? The answer is the lens itself — contact lenses sit directly on the eye, as opposed to in front of it. This means your eye doctor measures your vision differently. Also, we need to run extra tests to make sure that your lenses will sit comfortably on the surface of the cornea, because eyes can be sensitive to certain lens types.
