How Contact Lens Exams Ensure the Perfect Fit

When it comes to achieving clear, comfortable vision, contact lenses can be a great alternative to glasses. However, not all lenses fit every eye the same way. That’s why scheduling a contact lens exam with our trusted eye doctors in Encino, CA is essential. These exams go beyond a standard vision check - they ensure your lenses fit properly, feel comfortable, and provide the sharpest possible vision.

 

The Importance of a Contact Lens Exam

A contact lens exam in Encino involves a detailed evaluation of your eye health and measurements to determine the best lens type for your eyes. Unlike a regular eye exam, which primarily checks your vision and eye health, a contact lens exam focuses on how lenses will interact with your cornea, tear film, and eyelids. Poorly fitted lenses can lead to discomfort, irritation, or even eye infections, so precision is key.

 

The Contact Lens Fitting Process

During your exam, your optometrist will take specific measurements of your eyes, including the curvature of your cornea and the size of your pupils and irises. These details help your doctor determine the right contact lens shape and material for your unique eyes.

After choosing the most suitable lenses, you’ll receive trial pairs to test their comfort and vision quality. Your eye doctor will assess how the lenses sit on your eyes and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit. Follow-up visits are often scheduled to confirm the lenses continue to fit comfortably and that your eyes remain healthy.

 

Customized Solutions for Every Lifestyle

Today’s contact lens technology offers options for almost everyone - including people with astigmatism, presbyopia, or dry eyes. Your optometrist can help you choose from a variety of specialized lenses such as:

•          Daily disposables for maximum convenience and hygiene

•          Extended wear lenses for overnight use

•          Toric lenses for astigmatism correction

At Woodley Optometry, your exam and fitting process are fully personalized based on your vision goals, comfort preferences, and daily routine.
