Contact Lens Exams in Clifton
What Makes a Contact Lens Exam Different?
A contact lens exam is a personalized fitting designed to ensure your lenses feel comfortable, stay in place, and give you crisp, stable vision. Because contact lenses rest directly on the surface of your eye, we take additional steps to make sure they’re safe and effective. During your exam, we’ll:
-
Measure your corneal shape and curvature to select a lens that fits properly and won’t shift during blinking.
-
Evaluate your eye surface for any signs of dryness or irritation that may affect lens wear.
-
Assess your tear film to see if you produce enough natural moisture to support comfortable lens use.
-
Measure your pupil and iris size to ensure proper lens alignment and coverage.
-
Discuss your lifestyle, including screen time, work environment, and lens-wearing goals, so we can recommend the best type for your needs.
This extra attention helps us prevent future issues and sets you up for long-term success with your lenses.
Trial Lenses & Follow-Up Care
Once we’ve gathered your measurements and chosen a lens type, we’ll give you a pair of trial contact lenses to wear. This allows you to test how they feel in real-world conditions.
We’ll schedule a follow-up visit after your trial period to make sure your lenses are performing the way they should. During this appointment, we’ll check:
-
Fit and lens movement
-
Visual clarity
-
Comfort over time
-
Any symptoms like dryness, irritation, or blurry vision
If we need to make adjustments to your prescription, lens material, or fit, we’ll take care of it.
