What is a Contact Lens Exam?

When an optometrist at Wheaton Eye Clinic examines your eyes, he or she will spend time talking with you about past experiences with contacts and any special health conditions you may have. It is recommended, especially for contact lens wearers, an exam be performed annually to maintain optimum eye health.

Wheaton Eye Clinic Optometrists follow a four-step process to help each patient acquire and use contact lenses successfully.

1. In an initial exam, the Optometrist will examine your eyes to determine if you can wear contact lenses. Your eyes are measured and contacts are tried on for comfort and proper vision correction. Any special needs are determined at this time and are factored into the final specified lens.
2. When the lenses are ready, a fitting examination is scheduled as a practice session for you to try your new lenses and also to become adept at lens

insertion and removal.
3. A checkup exam is scheduled 2-3 weeks after the practice session.
4. Another checkup at the six-month anniversary.
