The Contact Lens Process

Eye Exam

Your vision and eye health can affect what type of contact lens you can wear. Therefore, a contact lens exam is necessary to evaluate eye conditions, measure the cornea, and determine the prescription.

Health conditions and environmental factors that can impact your ability to wear standard contact lenses include:

Dry eye
Severe refractive errors
History of frequent eye infections
Keratoconus
Living in a dusty or smokey environment

Fitting Your Contact Lenses

Several measurements are used to ensure your contact lenses are appropriate for your comfort and visual needs. We’ll also help you determine the type of lens that suits your eye health and lifestyle.

While there are many types of contacts, most lenses are based on the 2 basics: soft and rigid gas permeable (RGP).

Soft contact lenses conform to the eye, making them easier to adapt to with a more secure fit. The disposable lenses are available for daily or extended wear (typically up to one week).

RGP lenses can be more challenging to adapt to initially as the shape remains rigid even when you blink. RGP contact lenses are durable and can provide sharper vision.

Other lens types can be a hybrid of RGP and soft contact lenses, or designed for specialized uses, such as orthokeratology (ortho-k) or decorative (colored) contacts.

Contact Lens Trial & Follow-Up

After finding your lens type, we’ll teach you how to care for your lenses. Proper contact lens care is crucial for preventing infection and maintaining your vision.

Next, we’ll provide a trial pair and schedule a follow-up appointment (about one week later).

Wearing a trial pair can help you determine if your lenses feel right or if you want to try something different. If your trial pair causes irritation, excessive tearing, or eye pain, you should remove your lenses and contact us as soon as possible.

At your follow-up appointment, we can order your preferred contact lens type or try a new pair.
