At Vision I Care, our experienced optometrists ensure the perfect fit for your lenses, prioritizing your comfort and visual clarity.

Understanding Eye Exams for Contact Lenses

Eye exams for contact lenses go beyond routine eye check-ups. They focus on assessing the unique needs of contact lens wearers, ensuring optimal comfort, and preventing potential issues. Regular eye exams are vital for maintaining healthy eyes and detecting potential issues, even if you don’t experience vision problems. While a general eye exam determines your eyeglass prescription, it may not be sufficient for contact lens wear. A comprehensive eye exam for contact lenses includes an evaluation of your eye health to ensure a comfortable and successful contact lens experience.

  • Visual acuity testing.
  • Evaluation of eye health.
  • Measurement of the cornea for accurate lens fitting.

Comprehensive Evaluation

Our optometrists conduct a thorough examination, considering your eye health, vision needs, and lifestyle to prescribe the most suitable contact lenses. During the contact lens consultation, our eye doctor will discuss lifestyle and health considerations that may influence the type of contacts best suited for you. Options such as daily disposables, monthly disposables, soft or rigid gas permeable (GP) lenses will be explored based on your preferences and specific needs. Conditions like astigmatism or dry eye syndrome will be considered when recommending the most suitable type or brand for optimal comfort and vision.

Consider mentioning your interest in colored contact lenses or, if you’re over 40 and need bifocals, discuss the possibility of multifocal lenses or a combination of multifocal and monovision lenses to address your unique vision requirements.

  • Precision in Prescription: Experience precision in your contact lens prescription, addressing any astigmatism or unique vision challenges you may have.
  • Trial Lenses and Fittings: Try different lenses during the exam to ensure the perfect fit and comfort before finalizing your prescription.

Contact lens fitting is a personalized process as one size does not fit all. Several crucial measurements will be taken:

  • Corneal Curvature: The curvature of the cornea, measured with a keratometer, ensures the proper fit of the lens. For astigmatism, a toric lens may be recommended.
  • Pupil or Iris Size: Measuring the size of your pupil or iris is crucial for specialized lenses, such as Gas Permeable (GP) contacts.
  • Tear Film Evaluation: Dry eyes can affect contact lens wear. An evaluation determines if your tear film is sufficient to keep lenses moist and comfortable.

Detailed care and hygiene instructions, including insertion, removal, wearing duration, and storage, will be provided.

Follow-Up

Our Pasadena eye doctor may recommend a follow-up appointment to ensure your contact lenses continue fitting properly, and your eyes adjust well.
