Contact Lens Exams for Comfortable Vision and Healthy Eyes
Contact LEns FAQS
Most contact lens wearers should schedule regular exams to ensure their prescription remains accurate, their lenses continue fitting properly, and their eyes stay healthy. Your eye doctor will recommend a schedule based on your individual needs.
Many patients with dry eyes can still wear contact lenses. During your evaluation, we'll assess your eye health and determine whether different lenses or a specialty contact lens evaluation may provide a more comfortable solution.
Bring your current glasses, your contact lenses if you wear them, and any information about the brand or prescription you're currently using. If you've experienced discomfort or vision changes, we'll discuss those concerns during your appointment.
If traditional contact lenses aren't providing the comfort or vision you need, we may recommend a specialty contact lens evaluation. These customized lenses are designed for patients with more complex vision needs or eyes that require a different type of fit.
A Contact Lens Exam Does More Than Update Your Prescription
Contact lenses rest directly on the surface of your eyes, which means the right fit is just as important as the right prescription. Even if your vision hasn't changed, your eyes can, making regular contact lens exams an important part of comfortable, healthy lens wear.
Our goal is to help you achieve clear vision while making sure your contact lenses continue fitting properly and supporting the long-term health of your eyes.
Your Contact Lens Exam Is Personalized to Your Eyes
No two patients have the same eyes, which is why every contact lens exam is tailored to your individual needs. During your visit, we'll evaluate your vision, take detailed measurements, and recommend contact lenses based on your prescription, eye health, and lifestyle.
Your contact lens evaluation may include:
- Measuring the shape and curvature of your eyes
- Evaluating your tear film and overall eye comfort
- Assessing how contact lenses fit and move on your eyes
- Confirming your prescription provides clear, comfortable vision
- Discussing your daily routine and visual needs
Every recommendation is designed to help you enjoy comfortable contact lens wear while protecting your eye health.
Some Eyes Need More Than a Standard Contact Lens
If you've struggled with uncomfortable contact lenses, have dry eyes, or have a more complex prescription, a specialty contact lens evaluation may be recommended.
Dr. Sawyer Ellis has a clinical interest in specialty contact lenses, medical eye care, and myopia management. Together, our team provides personalized evaluations for patients who may benefit from scleral, hybrid, gas permeable (GP), or custom soft contact lenses.
Finding the Right Contact Lenses Starts with the Right Fit
Choosing contact lenses isn't simply about correcting your vision. The right lenses should feel comfortable from the moment you put them in until the end of your day.
We fit a wide variety of contact lenses from leading manufacturers, including Alcon, Bausch + Lomb, CooperVision, and Johnson & Johnson Vision. If standard soft contact lenses aren't the best option for your eyes, we'll discuss other solutions that may provide a better fit.
Your Contact Lens Care Doesn't End After Your Exam
Finding the right contact lenses is a process, not a single appointment. After your evaluation, we'll make sure your lenses continue fitting comfortably, provide clear vision, and support the long-term health of your eyes.
Your care may include:
- Trial contact lenses when appropriate
- Personalized wearing and care instructions
- Follow-up visits to evaluate comfort and fit
- Adjustments if your vision or comfort changes over time
Our goal is to help you wear contact lenses confidently and comfortably for years to come.
