What To Expect During a Contact Lens Fitting?

At Dr. C Vision Care, we offer contact lens fittings for patients with a variety of vision needs. Whether you live in Perdido Key, Pensacola, Lillian, or Elberta, our team can help. Here's what you can expect during your appointment:


Your Eye Doctor Determines Your Refractive Error

First, your eye doctor will perform an eye exam to determine your refractive error. This includes assessing for astigmatism, nearsightedness, farsightedness, and other issues that may be causing blurred vision.


Your Eye Doctor Measures Your Corneal Curvature

Next, your eye doctor will measure the curvature of your cornea. This helps them determine the type of contact lenses that would be the best fit for you. Depending on your needs, they may prescribe rigid gas permeable (GP) lenses or soft, disposable contacts.


Your Eye Doctor Checks Your Tear Film Quality

Your eye doctor will also examine the quality of your tear film. This helps them determine if you have dry eyes. If dry eyes are an issue, they may recommend a specific type of contact lens that can help reduce discomfort and irritation.


You'll Try On Contact Lenses

Once your eye doctor has determined the best type of contact lenses for you, they'll have you try on a few pairs. This allows them to assess the fit and comfort of the lenses, and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit.


Your Eye Doctor Will Explain Care and Maintenance

Finally, your eye doctor will provide instructions on how to care for your contact lenses. This includes guidance on how often to replace them, as well as any special cleaning and maintenance instructions that are specific to the type of lens you choose.
