What Is a Contact Lens Exam?

A contact lens exam includes additional testing beyond a routine glasses prescription. Because contact lenses rest directly on the surface of the eye, they must fit properly while providing accurate vision correction.

During your contact lens exam in Scottsdale, we evaluate your vision, eye health, prescription, and the shape and condition of your eyes. We also discuss your lifestyle, previous contact lens experience, and any concerns you may have with dryness, irritation, or blurry vision.

What We Evaluate During Your Exam

Finding the right contact lenses involves more than simply matching your glasses prescription. Our evaluation may include:

• Measuring your contact lens prescription

• Assessing the shape and curvature of the cornea

• Evaluating how the lenses fit and move on your eyes

• Checking the health of the cornea and surrounding tissues

• Discussing comfort, wearing habits, and replacement schedules

• Reviewing proper contact lens care and handling
  
  

These details allow us to recommend lenses that provide a balance of clear vision, comfort, and eye health.

Contact Lens Options for Different Needs

Contact lenses are available in a wide range of materials, designs, and replacement schedules. Depending on your prescription and lifestyle, options may include daily disposable, biweekly, or monthly lenses.

Some patients also require lenses designed for specific vision needs, such as astigmatism or multifocal correction. During your contact lens exam, we can discuss available options and determine which type is most appropriate for you.

Why Proper Contact Lens Fit Matters

A lens that does not fit correctly can lead to discomfort, fluctuating vision, redness, or irritation. Even if your current contacts seem comfortable, your prescription and eye health can change over time.

Regular contact lens exams allow us to confirm that your lenses continue to fit properly and provide the correction you need. These visits also give us an opportunity to look for early signs of contact lens-related irritation or other eye health concerns.

Contact Lens Exams for New Wearers

If you are trying contacts for the first time, we can help make the transition easier. We will explain how to insert and remove your lenses, review proper cleaning or replacement instructions, and answer questions about safe daily wear.

Our goal is to make sure you leave feeling confident about caring for your lenses and protecting your eyes.
