Contact lenses offer a convenient alternative to eyeglasses for vision correction. However, it's crucial to remember that contact lenses require proper fitting and regular monitoring to help ensure optimal eye health. To that end, contact lens exams play a vital role in maintaining healthy eyes and preventing potential complications associated with contact lens wear. If you are interested in trying contact lenses for you, contact us at EyeCare Associates of Salina for help from an eye doctor near you. We have a team in Salina, KS, and one in Lindsborg, KS.
What to Expect during a Contact Lens Exam
A contact lens exam is an evaluation of your eye health and vision, specifically tailored to assess your suitability for contact lenses. It goes beyond a regular eye exam and includes additional tests and measurements to ensure proper fitting and comfort. During the exam, an eye doctor will evaluate your cornea, tear film, and overall eye health to determine the most appropriate type of contact lenses for you.
Components of a Contact Lens Exam
Here are a few components of a contact lens exam that you may experience when you come into our office:
• Medical History Review: Your eye doctor will discuss your medical history, including any allergies, medications, or previous eye problems.
• Vision Assessment: Your vision will be tested to determine your prescription and identify any changes in your visual acuity.
• Tear Film Assessment: Your eye doctor may evaluate the quantity and quality of your tears to determine if you have dry eye, which can affect contact lens comfort.
• Contact Lens Fitting: Your eye doctor will select and fit you with trial lenses.
• Contact Lens Education: You will receive instructions on how to properly insert, remove, clean, and store your contact lenses.
