Contact Lens Exam

Contact Lens Exam, West Hartford, CT 

A contact lens exam is an essential part of maintaining healthy eyes and ensuring that your vision is at its best. While a regular eye exam may check your overall eye health and determine if you need glasses or contact lenses, a contact lens exam is specifically designed to fit you for contact lenses. At SIGHT in West Hartford, CT, we specialize in contact lens exams and fittings to help you achieve clear and comfortable vision.  

What to expect during a contact lens exam  

During your contact lens exam at SIGHT, our eye doctor will conduct a thorough evaluation of your eyes. They will ask you about your lifestyle and the activities you participate in to help determine which type of contact lenses will work best for you. 

Our eye doctor will take several measurements of your eyes, including the curvature of your cornea, the size of your pupils, and the overall shape of your eyes. These measurements will help determine the correct size and type of contact lenses for you. They will also evaluate your overall eye health and work with you to determine if you need specialty contact lenses or other care.   

Contact lens exam follow-up  appointment

Our optometrist may ask you to schedule an additional appointment. During the follow-up exam, we can assess whether your contact lenses are a good fit and see if your eyes are properly adjusting to the contact lenses.    

Why do I need an exam for contact lenses?   

Contact lenses are medical devices, which means you need a prescription if you plan to wear them. When you schedule an appointment, let us know if you wear or want to wear contact lenses so we can include a contact lens exam as a part of your comprehensive eye exam.
