Contact Lens Exam
Many people prefer contact lenses as their corrective lenses. Contact lenses allow us to see the world without the appearance of glasses frames in our field of vision and without glasses changing how we look. Your eye doctor in Pleasant and Charleroi, PA, can help if you want contact lenses. It all starts with a contact lens exam.
What Is a Contact Lens Exam?
A contact lens exam is an eye exam that is specifically focused on measuring and evaluating the eyes to determine what kind of contact lenses are best for a patient. Contact lenses are not a one-size-fits-all product. In fact, contact lenses need to be fitted to the eye and chosen for the patient’s specific needs.
How many tears the eyes make, the eye shape, and the patient’s prescription are all factors that affect which type of contact lenses the eye doctor will prescribe. During the contact lens exam, your eye doctor will evaluate the eyes, including their shape, size, measurements, tear production, and other factors.
Once this eye examination has taken place, the eye doctor can recommend the best type of contact lenses for the patient.
Who Needs a Contact Lens Exam?
If you would like your eye doctor to prescribe contact lenses for you, you need a contact lens examination. This type of examination is not the same as a standard vision exam. If your doctor has prescribed eyeglasses for you, you will also need a contact lens exam to get contact lenses.
