What to Expect From Your Contact Lens Exam
-
Regular eye exam
During your comprehensive eye exam your optometrist will check that your eyes are healthy and will test your vision to determine your contact lens prescription.
-
Contact lens consultation
During your contact lens exam your optometrist will check for dry eye symptoms and consult with you to determine what type of contact lenses are the best fit for your lifestyle and vision needs.
-
Contact lens fitting
For ideal vision correction and comfort, contact lenses must fit well. Your optometrist will examine the size and shape of your cornea and pupil to ensure the right fit.
-
Contact lens trial and follow-up
Your optometrist will insert trial lenses and ask you to keep them on for 15-20 minutes to be sure the fit is comfortable and vision is clear. After a few days, you'll come in for a follow-up evaluation.

Contact Lens Exams FAQs
Usually, yes. While some types of contact lenses can aggravate symptoms of dry eye syndrome, such as eye dryness, redness and irritation, other contacts are perfectly suitable for dry eyes. Speak with an eye doctor near you regarding your dry eye symptoms, and they'll prescribe the perfect contact lenses for ultimate comfort.
It's a case-by-case basis. Typically, eye doctors don't prescribe contacts to children under the age of 11 or 12, though there are exceptions. Wearing contact lenses requires responsible care, including cleaning and disinfecting routines. Most teenagers can handle contact lens care if they're motivated to wear contacts.
Yes! Even if you're just using contacts to change the color of your eyes, you still need an eye exam and a prescription. Contact lenses are a medical device and require fitting by an eye doctor.

I had to take a moment to recognize Ms. Dory for her amazing customer service and kindness.
... Show MoreMy mother recently had brain surgery, which caused changes to her vision. We were able to get a same day appointment here, and Dory was one of the first people to take care of us. She was wonderful from the very beginning.
Today, I drove clear across town in some pretty nasty weather to pick up my mom’s glasses. I’m also trying to get back quickly because my mother needs me to get her home, and when I arrived, I realized they were closed for lunch.
Dory still answered the phone during their lunch break. I told her I didn’t mind sitting outside for the 30 minutes until they reopened. Instead, she asked for my mother’s name and told me to come to the door. She handed me her glasses with the biggest smile and such a warm welcome.
She absolutely did not have to interrupt her lunch break to help me, but that small act of kindness made my day a little easier during a time when I have a lot on my plate.
This is the kind of customer service that does not go unnoticed. We will absolutely be returning.
Thank you for being so kind today, Ms. Dory. You are truly a gem! ❤️
