Contact Lens Fitting

Contact Lens Exam
A contact lens fitting is a specialized exam to ensure your lenses are safe, comfortable, and effective. During the fitting, an eye care professional measures the shape and curvature of your cornea, evaluates your tear film, and selects the appropriate lens size and material. You will also try on lenses so the provider can assess their fit and your vision.
Why It Matters
A proper fit is essential because contact lenses rest directly on your eye. Poorly fitted lenses can cause irritation, dryness, blurred vision, and more serious problems, including infections or corneal damage. A correct fit ensures your lenses provide enough oxygen and move properly with each blink, reducing the risk of complications.
An annual contact lens fitting is recommended because your eyes can change over time, including corneal shape and tear quality. Even if your vision seems unchanged, shifts in eye health or lifestyle can affect lens performance. Regular fittings let your provider make necessary adjustments, suggest new lens technologies, and help maintain your eye health.
