Contact Lens Exams in Abilene, Eastland, and Stamford
Advanced Eyecare & Vintage Eyewear conducts detailed contact lens exams to tailor each pair of lenses to your lifestyle and vision needs, offering a hassle-free solution to vision correction.
What is a Contact Lens Exam?
A contact lens exam is an evaluation to ensure you receive contact lenses ideally suited to your eyes. Unlike a standard eye exam, a contact lens exam includes specific measurements of your eye’s surface and curvature to determine the optimal lens fit. This is crucial because properly fitting contact lenses provide better vision correction, greater comfort, and reduced eye irritation risk.
Why a Contact Lens Exam is Essential
Although most people can wear contacts, not everyone’s eyes are suited for all types. Wearing the wrong kind or improperly fitted lenses can cause discomfort and eye health issues. A contact lens exam ensures the lenses are a perfect fit for the curvature and health of your eyes.
It also involves evaluating your tear film and eye surface for conditions like dry eye that might affect comfortable wearing. The exam provides an opportunity to learn proper lens care, reducing the risk of infection or other complications.

Consultation
The first step is a detailed consultation, during which we discuss your vision needs, lifestyle, and any previous experiences you might have had with contact lenses.
Eye Exam
We perform a comprehensive eye exam to determine the needed prescription and examine the health of your eyes to ensure there are no conditions that might complicate contact lens wear.
Fitting
We select the type of lens that best suits your eye shape and vision correction needs, such as soft lenses, rigid gas-permeable lenses, or specialty lenses.
Trial Period
After the initial fitting, you will enter a trial period where you test the lenses. This allows you to evaluate the comfort and quality of vision with the lenses.
Follow-Up
We schedule a follow-up visit to assess how well the lenses fit and how your eyes respond to them. This appointment is crucial for making necessary lens type, fit, or care routine adjustments.
