Whether you're brand new to contacts or you've been wearing them for years, our team will guide you through the process with care, precision, and personalized recommendations.
Why You Need a Contact Lens Exam
Contact lenses sit directly on your eye, which means the right fit is everything. A contact lens exam isn’t just about updating your prescription; it’s about making sure your lenses support your vision, eye health, and day-to-day comfort.
Here’s why it matters:
- A lens that’s too loose can move around and blur your vision.
- A lens that’s too tight can restrict oxygen and damage your cornea.
- The wrong material can dry your eyes out or cause irritation.
- Even slight differences in shape or tear film can affect how well your lenses perform.
At North Coast Eye Care, we take the time to understand your eyes, your prescription, and your lifestyle before making any recommendations.
What to Expect During the Exam
Our eye doctors use advanced diagnostic tools and one-on-one evaluations to make sure your lenses are exactly right for your eyes. During your contact lens exam, we assess:
- Corneal curvature using keratometry or corneal topography to determine the shape of your eye.
- Tear film quality to make sure your eyes stay hydrated while wearing lenses.
- Corneal health—checking for dryness, inflammation, or signs of lens-related irritation.
- Lens material compatibility—some eyes tolerate certain materials better than others.
- Visual needs like single vision, multifocal, or astigmatism correction.
- Lifestyle factors including sports, screen time, work, and wearing preferences.
- Fit testing with trial lenses to make sure everything feels good in the real world.
- Follow-up visits—because sometimes it takes a minor tweak to get a perfect fit.
