About a Contact Lens Fitting

The first step to a contact lens fitting is discussing what type of lens someone is looking for. Whether a person wants daily lenses, overnight wear, or maybe lenses that change one’s eye color, there are enough options available to cover everyone.  Measurements are taken to determine the best contact lens size and design for your particular eyes.  A tear film evaluation is also done to make sure there is enough of a tear film to keep the lenses and the cornea moist during use.

Diagnostic lenses are used to evaluate the fit of lenses. They will be placed on the eye and the optometrist will look at them and consider the position and moving as you blink and look in different directions. If they look good, then you will be given instructions on how to care for lenses and how long you can wear the type you have chosen. You will also learn how to handle, apply, and remove contact lenses before leaving the office. A follow-up visit may be needed if you have concerns about the comfort of your contacts.
