Making the move from contacts to glasses can feel like a big step.

Let’s look at what you need to know about the contact lens exam process.

Contact Lens Exams

Why You Should Consider Contact Lenses

Contact lenses are associated with a sense of freedom. You might wear contact lenses if you are tired of wearing glasses or you find that they are obstructing your vision. You might also choose contact lenses so you can participate in sports without having to worry about wearing glasses that get in the way. Some people simply do not like the way they look in glasses.

What Happens During a Contact Lens Eye Exam?

During your contact lens exam, the eye doctor will examine your eyes more closely than during a routine exam. Your vision will be tested since your prescription for contacts will be different from your glasses prescription. Our eye doctor will assess the size of your retina to determine which contact lenses are right for your eyes.

Types of Contact Lenses

Many different types of contact lenses are available. Our eye doctor will guide you through the steps you should take to get lenses that are right for your eyes. Some people benefit from contact lenses that are specific to their eye and health needs. For example, some people need special lenses for dry eyes or astigmatism.

Dr. Dao will also talk to you about your lifestyle. Some people can take out their contact lenses each night, whereas others can benefit from extended-wear lenses. If you have special lifestyle considerations that you would like to keep in mind, it is important to discuss these options with our eye doctor. Wearing contact lenses incorrectly comes with risks, so it is important to be thorough.
