Contact Lens Exam

If you’re considering contact lenses or need a new prescription, you’ve come to the right place! At Family Eyecare of Orange, we provide expert care and personalized guidance to ensure you find the perfect lenses that fit your vision needs and lifestyle. 

For those new to contact lenses, you might have been told in the past that you couldn’t wear them. Don’t worry! Advances in lens technology mean that there are more options than ever before. Whether you need toric lenses for astigmatism, rigid gas permeable lenses for keratoconus and irregular corneas, or multifocal and monovision lenses for presbyopia, we are here to help. Using corneal mapping technology, we take precise measurements of your eyes, ensuring a perfect fit. This advanced equipment allows us to provide you with the best care tailored specifically to your unique needs. 

What to expect during your contact lens exam 

When you come in for your contact lens exam in Orange, we start with a thorough vision assessment to determine your prescription and how well you see at different distances. We also evaluate the shape and health of your eyes to choose the right type of contact lenses. One of our eye doctors will measure the curvature of your cornea and take other measurements to ensure the best fit possible. Once we have the measurements, you’ll get to try on different lenses, and we’ll show you how to insert, remove, and care for them. After you’ve had a chance to wear your lenses, we’ll schedule a follow-up visit to check how well they’re working for you. This is a great time to make any adjustments or address any concerns. 

If you already wear contact lenses, we will begin by updating your prescription if needed. Even if your contacts seem to be working well, it’s essential to have regular check-ins because your eye shape and vision needs can change over time. Our eye doctor will recheck the fit and may suggest new types or brands to ensure you have optimal comfort and vision. We recommend scheduling annual exams to ensure your lenses continue to meet your needs effectively.
