Contact lens exams are crucial for ensuring that your lenses fit properly and provide clear vision. Unlike regular eye exams, they focus specifically on how well your eyes are suited for wearing contact lenses.

Comprehensive Eye Health Assessment
During a contact lens exam, a comprehensive assessment of your eye health is conducted. This includes checking for conditions such as dry eye syndrome, infections, inflammation and other issues that might affect your ability to wear contacts comfortably. By evaluating the overall health of your eyes, our optometrists can recommend the most suitable type of contact lenses for your needs. Dr Tisch and Dr. Minhas received extensive training in determining the most suitable lenses for a patient’s eyes with all the latest materials and technology on the market.
Prescription Accuracy
Accurate prescription measurements are vital for contact lenses. A contact lens exam includes precise measurements of your eyes to ensure that your lenses fit well and correct your vision appropriately. Our eye doctors measure the curvature of your cornea and determine the correct lens power. An up-to-date prescription is necessary for optimal vision and comfort.
Lens Fitting and Comfort
Proper lens fitting is a key component of a contact lens exam. Ill-fitting lenses can cause discomfort and potentially harm your eyes. During the exam, we will evaluate how well the lenses sit on your eyes and make any necessary adjustments. This helps to ensure that your lenses are comfortable and provide clear vision throughout the day. Topographical measurements of the cornea allow us to evaluate the cornea for any additional irregularities.
Follow-Up Care and Adjustments
Follow-up care is as important as the exams. After the initial fitting, regular check-ups may be required to monitor your eyes and make any necessary adjustments to your lenses. These visits help to address any issues that may arise and ensure that your lenses continue to meet your needs. Making sure you are happy with your lenses and prescription is our goal.
