What to Expect at Your Contact Lens Exam
If you are getting contact lenses for the first time or switching from glasses, you may wonder what happens during a contact lens exam. At your appointment, your optometrist will first make sure contacts are a safe and comfortable option for your eyes. Most patients, including those with dry eye or astigmatism, can successfully wear contacts.
Your doctor will then take precise measurements of your corneas, pupils, and irises, and may assess your tear film to ensure the lenses will fit properly and feel comfortable. No instruments touch your eyes during this process; they simply measure how light reflects from the surface.
How to Read Your Contact Lens Prescription
If this is your first time getting a prescription and you're planning to use contact lenses, the information on that small sheet of paper can feel confusing at first glance.
Understanding the abbreviations and measurements in your contact lens prescription is key to knowing how your lenses correct your vision. Below, we’ll walk through how to read your prescription and explain the common terms and shorthand you might come across.
