FAQs About the Contact Lens Exam

Do I need a contact lens exam every year?

Annual contact lens exams are essential for maintaining your eye health and ensuring your lenses continue to fit properly. Your eyes can change over time, affecting both your prescription and how contact lenses fit on your eye’s surface. Regular exams help prevent complications and ensure your lenses provide optimal vision and comfort.

How long does a contact lens exam take?

A comprehensive contact lens exam typically takes between 45 to 60 minutes. This includes time for various measurements, eye health evaluation, and discussion of lens options. If you’re new to contact lenses, we’ll also provide training on proper insertion, removal, and care techniques, which may extend the appointment time.

How is a contact lens exam different?

A contact lens exam includes additional measurements and evaluations beyond a standard eye exam. We measure your cornea’s curvature, assess your tear film quality, and evaluate your eye’s surface health. These extra steps ensure we can recommend the most appropriate contact lens type and fit for your specific needs.

Is contact lens exam the same as glasses?

While both exams check your vision, a contact lens exam includes additional measurements and evaluations specific to contact lens wear. Contact lenses sit directly on your eye, requiring precise measurements of your cornea and tear film that aren’t necessary for glasses. The prescription values may also differ slightly between glasses and contacts.

What do they do in a contact lens exam?

During a contact lens exam, we perform corneal topography to map your eye’s surface, measure your pupil and iris size, and evaluate your tear film quality. We also assess your eye’s overall health, determine your prescription, and discuss various contact lens options. If needed, we’ll provide instruction on proper lens handling and care.
