If you're seeking the freedom and flexibility of contact lenses, it all starts with the right fit. At eye&I™, we offer comprehensive contact lens exams to ensure your lenses are comfortable, effective, and safe for daily wear. Whether you're new to contacts or upgrading your prescription, our expert optometrists will help you find the perfect solution tailored to your vision and lifestyle.

Why a Contact Lens Exam Is Essential

Unlike standard vision tests, a contact lens exam is a specialized assessment that evaluates your eye health, vision needs, and contact lens compatibility. Because contact lenses are medical devices, they must be properly prescribed and fitted by a licensed eye care professional to prevent discomfort or complications.

A thorough contact lens exam helps:

• Ensure healthy, irritation-free lens wear
• Provide an accurate, up-to-date prescription
• Determine the ideal lens type and fit for your unique eyes
• Educate you on proper lens use, hygiene, and storage

What to Expect During Your Contact Lens Exam

At eye&I™, our exams are detailed, personalized, and designed to deliver the most comfortable and effective contact lens experience possible.

1. Medical & Eye History Review

We start by reviewing your vision history, previous lens use, general health, and any medications—ensuring safe and informed care.

2. Visual Acuity & Refractive Testing

Our optometrists assess your current level of vision and determine the correct prescription to address myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism, or presbyopia.

3. Slit-Lamp Eye Health Evaluation

A slit-lamp microscope allows us to examine the front surface of your eyes—ensuring your cornea, iris, and lens are healthy and free from any conditions that could affect contact lens wear.

 4. Tear Film Analysis

Adequate tear production is essential for lens comfort. We’ll assess the quantity and quality of your tears to prevent dryness or irritation.

 5. Corneal Topography

This advanced imaging creates a detailed map of your cornea’s surface to guide us in selecting the most precise lens design—especially helpful for specialty lenses or astigmatism correction.

 6. Contact Lens Fitting & Trial

We’ll fit you with trial lenses to assess movement, comfort, and visual clarity. Adjustments will be made as needed for a personalized, secure fit.

7. Follow-Up Appointment

A follow-up visit ensures your eyes are adapting well to your lenses and allows us to make any final adjustments for long-term success.
