Contact Lens Exams From an Optometrist

Contact lens exams are crucial to maintaining good eye health as a contact lens wearer. Contact lens exam Procedures you might be asked to complete are the standard eye chart, tests to determine if you suffer from refractive errors, tests that measure the shape of your eye, and diagnostics that help you determine whether or not you need glasses or contacts.

Specialty Contact Fittings With an Eye Doctor

If you do need contact lenses but have a difficult case, your eye doctor will be able to help. For instance, we offer scleral lenses. These are oversized lenses that arc over the cornea and rest on the white of the eye, substantially reducing pressure and dryness.

Your eye doctor can also help you if you might benefit from rigid gas permeable lenses – which, while rigid, are not hard. They’re quite comfortable, allowing airflow onto the eye. Custom soft lenses are also comfortable, and can be made in any power and any size. These are great for the nearsighted and farsighted as well as people with astigmatism.

And we offer the occasional fun contact lens too, if you want to give your eyes a bit of a color makeover!
