Contact lenses
Contact lens exams and fittings
A contact lens exam is a full eye exam plus the measurements and trial lenses that make a lens fit your eye. It is its own visit, because fitting takes extra time.
Your prescription is yours. When the fitting is finished and you are comfortable in the lenses, you get a copy of your contact lens prescription, and you can fill it anywhere.
The exam part may go to your vision plan, and the fitting is billed on its own. How fees work explains who pays for which part.
The fitting
From exam to your own lenses
- 01
Step 1: Exam and measurements
A full eye exam, then the curve and size of the front of each eye, so the lens sits where it should.
- 02
Step 2: Choosing a lens
We talk through how often you want to replace lenses, and what you do all day. Some eyes need a lens made for astigmatism or for reading.
- 03
Step 3: Trial lenses
You wear a trial pair for a few days at home, so you know how they feel in your own routine.
- 04
Step 4: A check on the fit
The doctor looks at how each lens sits and how your eyes respond, and changes the lens if it needs it.
- 05
Step 5: Learning to handle them
First-time wearers get a lesson in putting lenses in, taking them out and cleaning them.

Questions
About contact lenses
How long does a fitting take?
Plan on a longer visit than a regular exam, and one or two short follow-up visits.
Can I sleep in my lenses?
Only a lens made for it, and only if your doctor says yes. Sleeping in other lenses raises the chance of an eye infection.
Can I order lenses somewhere else?
Yes. Your prescription is yours, and we give you a copy when the fitting is finished.
