FINDING THE RIGHT CONTACTS FOR YOUR EYES
Selecting the right contact lenses for your eyes and your lifestyle is a multi-step process:
The Contact Lens Exam
Before we can help you choose the right style and brand of contact lenses for you, we need to examine your eyes. During your eye exam, we will ensure your medical history is accurate and up to date and answer any questions you may have.
We will then assess your eyes for any conditions that may prevent you from wearing contact lenses. We will determine your contact lens prescription during this exam, which is not the same as your eyeglasses prescription.
The Contact Lens Fitting
Once we have determined that you are a suitable candidate for contact lenses, we will measure your eyes. These measurements ensure that we recommend the contact lens style, power, and curvature best suited to your unique eyes.
Contact lenses are available in a wide variety of styles, shapes, and sizes. Finding the right match for you is important, and helps ensure that your eyes will be comfortable and remain healthy while supporting clear and stable vision.
To help us get accurate measurements, we use various tests and instruments, including corneal topography and anterior segment optical coherence tomography.
The Contact Lens Trial
Once we have determined which style and brand of contact lens is best suited to your eyes, we will send you home with a trial pair. The trial phase allows you to confirm that the lenses we have provided you are comfortable, give you clear vision, and meet your visual and lifestyle needs.
Once you have had a chance to wear your trial lenses, we will meet with you again to make sure you are satisfied and that your eyes are adapting well. If you are happy with the trial pair, we will provide you with a copy of your contact lens prescription and order you a supply of contacts.
If your trial lenses are not quite right, are uncomfortable, do not provide you with clear vision, or are not working as they should, we will adjust accordingly by trying other powers, styles, or brands until you are satisfied.
