What to Expect During Your Contact Lens Exam

A contact lens exam is designed to determine the best lenses for your eyes. Unlike glasses prescriptions, contact lens prescriptions consider the unique curvature, size, and health of your eyes. During your exam, our team will:

  • Measure the shape and curvature of your cornea using modern tools like corneal topography and anterior segment OCT
  • Assess your tear film quality
  • Check for any underlying conditions that could impact your ability to wear contact lenses

The Fitting Process: Precision & Comfort

Everyone’s eyes are unique, so getting the right fit is key to successful contact lens wear. After determining your prescription, we’ll:

  • Provide trial lenses to assess comfort and vision clarity
  • Teach you how to insert, remove, and care for your lenses
  • Adjust the fit as needed to provide a secure and comfortable experience

We also use fitting technology so that your lenses fit like a glove, such as:

  • Corneal topography (Marco): Maps the unique shape of your cornea for precise lens design.
  • Anterior segment OCT (ZEISS): Provides detailed imaging of the front part of your eye for fit and health.

Specialty Contact Lenses
for Unique Needs

We provide various specialty contact lenses designed to meet your unique vision needs. Whether you’re looking for aspheric lenses for improved clarity, multifocal lenses for smooth vision at all distances, or toric lenses to correct astigmatism, we’ve got you covered.

Additionally, we offer specialized lenses, such as scleral contacts, for conditions like keratoconus. Our team is here to help you explore all the options available and find the perfect solution for your eyes.

Scleral lenses provide a unique solution for patients with irregular corneas, keratoconus, or severe dry eye.

Unlike traditional contacts, these large-diameter lenses rest on the sclera (the white of your eye), creating a smooth optical surface that offers vision clarity and comfort.

The fluid-filled reservoir beneath the lens also hydrates your eyes, making scleral lenses ideal for those seeking relief from dryness or discomfort.

Toric contact lenses are specifically engineered to correct astigmatism, offering stable and clear vision by aligning with the unique shape of your eyes. Their special design helps the lenses stay in place throughout the day, offering a comfortable, secure fit.

Multifocal contact lenses are an excellent choice for patients with presbyopia. They allow you to see clearly at all distances—near, far, and in between. These lenses are ideal for maintaining an active lifestyle without the need for multiple pairs of glasses.

Whether you’re reading a book, working on a computer, or enjoying outdoor activities, multifocal lenses provide seamless, convenient vision correction.

Hybrid lenses combine the best of both worlds by integrating the comfort of soft lenses with the visual clarity and precision of rigid gas-permeable lenses. The center of the lens is made from a gas-permeable material, which provides sharp, clear vision, while the outer portion is made from soft lens material, offering a comfortable fit.

Monovision lenses are a popular solution for those with presbyopia, allowing people to see clearly at both near and far distances. With monovision lenses, one eye is fitted with a lens for distance vision, while the other is fitted with a lens for near vision.

Custom soft lenses are designed to meet the specific needs of people with unique prescriptions, including custom sphere and toric options.

Colored contact lenses offer a fun and stylish way to enhance your eye color while also correcting your vision. Available in various shades, colored contacts can be used for cosmetic purposes or to make a subtle change to your natural eye color.

Caring for Your Contact Lenses

Proper hygiene and care are essential for maintaining eye health and preventing infections. During your fitting, we’ll provide detailed instructions on:

  • Cleaning and storing your lenses
  • Recognizing signs of irritation or infection
  • When to replace your lenses to maintain clarity and comfort
