What is a Contact Lens Exam?
A contact lens exam is a specialized evaluation that goes beyond a standard eye exam. While a regular eye exam focuses on assessing your overall eye health and vision, a contact lens exam specifically evaluates your eyes for contact lens wear. This includes measuring the curvature of your cornea, assessing the health of your eyes, and determining the appropriate lens type and prescription for your unique needs.
Why Are Contact Lens Exams Important?
Contact lens exams are essential for several reasons. First, they ensure that your lenses fit properly, which is crucial for comfort and eye health. Ill-fitting lenses can lead to discomfort, irritation, and even serious eye issues. Additionally, a contact lens exam allows us to assess your tear film and overall eye health, ensuring that your eyes can tolerate contact lenses without complications.
During the exam, Dr. Oroku will take precise measurements of your eyes, including the curvature and diameter of your cornea. We will also discuss your lifestyle and vision needs to recommend the best type of contact lenses for you, whether they are daily disposables, extended wear, or specialty lenses for astigmatism or presbyopia.
The Contact Lens Fitting Process
Once your contact lens exam is complete, we will proceed with a fitting process. This involves trying on different lenses to find the best fit for your eyes. We will assess how the lenses feel and how well they provide clear vision. It’s important to communicate any discomfort or vision issues during this fitting, as we want to ensure that you are completely satisfied with your lenses.
