Our clinic provides exams and fittings to help your contact lenses fit comfortably and work properly.
Why Choose Contact Lenses at Oak Harbor Family Eyecare?
Contact lenses are a practical option for patients who want an alternative to glasses. They provide a wide field of view, move naturally with your eyes, and are suitable for a variety of activities, including sports and outdoor adventures.
Advances in contact lens technology have improved comfort and breathability while allowing correction for nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Whether you wear them daily or occasionally, contact lenses provide clear vision without obstruction.
What to Expect During a Contact Lens Exam
A contact lens exam involves more than a standard eye exam. In addition to checking your overall eye health and visual acuity, our optometrist will take precise measurements of your cornea, evaluate your tear film, and discuss your lifestyle to determine the best type of lens for you. This ensures the lenses fit properly and provide maximum comfort and performance.
Your initial exam will also include a trial fitting, during which you’ll receive sample lenses to try on and test. We'll assess how the lenses sit on your eye and how well you see with them, making any necessary adjustments. If you're new to contact lenses, our team will also teach you how to insert, remove, and care for them safely. We’re here to make sure you feel confident and comfortable every step of the way.
Understanding the Cost of Contact Lens Exams
Contact lens exams are a specialized service and typically involve an additional cost compared to routine eye exams. This fee covers additional testing and fittings to match lenses to your eye shape and prescription. Insurance plans may cover part or all of this cost, depending on your coverage. Our team reviews your benefits and explains your costs.
We follow up after your fitting and adjust the lenses as needed. We teach all our patients proper contact lens care. We continue follow-up visits to monitor lens condition and maintain proper hygiene.
