What’s Different About a Contact Lens Exam?

While a comprehensive eye exam assesses your overall eye health and vision, a contact lens exam goes further to evaluate your eye’s compatibility with contact lenses. It includes:
  • Corneal Topography:  Creates a detailed map of your cornea’s curvature to determine the ideal lens shape and fit.
  • Tear Film Evaluation: Assesses the quantity and quality of your tears to ensure adequate lubrication for contact lens wear.
  • Contact Lens Fitting:  Involves trying different lenses to find the most comfortable and visually optimal option.
Lens Care and Handling Instruction:  We provide thorough guidance on proper insertion, removal, and care techniques to maintain healthy eyes and lenses.

CONTACT LENS EVALUATION:

Ensuring your contact lenses are healthy for your eyes.  Are you experiencing discomfort or vision problems with your current contact lenses? At Columbia Eye Associates, we offer comprehensive contact lens evaluations to assess the health of your eyes and ensure your lenses are fitting properly.

Why is a Contact Lens Evaluation Important?

Regular contact lens evaluations are crucial for:
  • Maintaining Eye Health:  Contact lenses can affect your eye health, potentially leading to complications like dry eye, infections, or corneal abrasions.
  • Optimizing Vision:  Changes in your vision or lens fit can affect your visual clarity and comfort.
  • Updating Your Prescription:  Your contact lens prescription may need adjustments over time.
  • Addressing Discomfort:  If you’re experiencing any discomfort with your lenses, an evaluation can identify the cause and provide solutions.
