Contact Lens Evaluation and Prescription
Eyes come in different sizes and shapes, so you need to have an accurate “fitting” to make sure your lenses will fit your eyes properly. To do this, we will take special measurements of your eyes and its surface, checking for curvature and other factors that will affect how your lenses fit. Finally, your cornea will be carefully examined to make sure there aren’t any problems that could make it hard for you to wear contact lenses. Next, trial lenses will be applied to your eyes so we can see how well they fit. It takes time for lenses to “settle” on your eyes, so you may wait 10 or 15 minutes after the lens has been inserted before we check the fit. You may need to try on more than one pair before you get it just right. After we are satisfied that your lenses fit, feel comfortable and give you good vision, you’ll be ready to learn how to take care of them.
