Contact Lens Exam

If you’re considering contact lenses or already wear them, a contact lens exam is an essential step in protecting your eye health and ensuring clear, comfortable vision. At T. N. Eye Care, our eye doctors in Winter Garden provide personalized contact lens exams designed to match your vision needs, lifestyle, and eye health.

What Is a Contact Lens Exam?

A contact lens exam goes beyond a standard eye exam. While a routine eye exam checks your overall vision and eye health, a contact lens exam includes additional testing to ensure contact lenses fit properly, feel comfortable, and provide optimal vision. Because contact lenses sit directly on the surface of your eye, precision is key.

Comprehensive Eye Health Evaluation

Your contact lens exam begins with a comprehensive eye health evaluation. Our eye doctors assess your vision, screen for eye conditions, and evaluate the overall health of your eyes. This step ensures that contact lenses are a safe option for you and helps identify any underlying issues - such as dry eye - that could affect lens wear.

Corneal Measurements

Every eye is unique, which is why accurate corneal measurements are essential. During your exam, we measure the curvature and shape of your cornea. These measurements help determine the correct lens size and design, ensuring your contacts fit securely and comfortably without restricting oxygen flow to your eyes.

Tear Film Analysis

Healthy tears are crucial for comfortable contact lens wear. Our team performs a tear film analysis to evaluate the quality and quantity of your tears. If signs of dry eye are present, we’ll recommend solutions or specific contact lens options designed to improve comfort and reduce irritation.

Contact Lens Fitting and Trial Lenses

Once your eye health and measurements are complete, we move on to contact lens fitting. Our eye doctors in Winter Garden will select trial lenses based on your prescription, eye shape, and lifestyle needs. Our optometrist will consider types of contact lenses, including:

• Soft contact lenses for everyday comfort

• Daily disposable lenses for convenience and improved eye health

• Toric lenses for astigmatism

• Multifocal lenses for presbyopia

• Rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses for sharper vision in certain cases

• Specialty or custom lenses for unique vision needs

Trial lenses allow us to evaluate fit, vision clarity, and comfort before finalizing your prescription.

Education on Lens Care and Wear

Proper lens care is essential for maintaining eye health. During your contact lens exam, our team provides detailed education on how to insert, remove, clean, and store your lenses. We’ll also review recommended wearing schedules, replacement timelines, and habits to avoid - helping you reduce the risk of irritation or infection.
