What is a Contact Lens Exam?
A contact lens exam is a specialized eye exam that evaluates your suitability for contact lenses. During this exam, your eye doctor will examine the health of your eyes and determine what type of contact lens is best suited for you. This exam is necessary to ensure that your contact lenses fit correctly and do not cause discomfort or damage to your eyes. It also allows your eye doctor to monitor changes in your vision and make necessary adjustments to your prescription.
What to Expect During a Contact Lens Exam?
When you come in for a contact eye exam at our West Jordan location, our friendly staff will greet you and walk you through the process. Your eye doctor will then perform a series of tests to assess your vision and eye health. These tests may include measuring your visual acuity, checking for astigmatism, and evaluating the curvature of your cornea. Your eye doctor will also discuss your lifestyle and daily activities to determine the type of contact lenses that would best suit your needs. Be sure to bring any questions or concerns you have regarding contact lenses to your appointment.
Contact Lens Fitting
After determining which type of contact lens is most suitable for you, your eye doctor will conduct a contact fitting. This involves placing a trial pair of lenses on your eyes to determine the size, shape, and prescription that provides you with the best vision. Your eye doctor will also teach you how to properly insert, remove, and care for your contact lenses. This is an important step in the process, as improper care of contact lenses can lead to eye infections and other complications. Once the fitting is complete, you will be given a written prescription for your new contact lenses.
