Why choose us for a contact lens exam?
A contact lens prescription is different from a glasses prescription. Finding contact lenses that provide clear vision and feel comfortable all day requires an exam that considers your eye health, measurements, lifestyle, and visual goals.
More options when standard contacts are not enough
If you have been told contacts are not right for you, newer lens options may offer another path. Our doctors fit soft and specialty contact lenses for a range of needs, including astigmatism, presbyopia, keratoconus, and dry eye.
A fit designed for comfort and clear vision
We evaluate your prescription, the shape and health of your eyes, and how you use your vision throughout the day. Whether you need convenient daily lenses, multifocal contacts, or a specialty design, we help identify an option that fits comfortably and supports your routine.
Guidance for first-time and experienced wearers
New to contacts? We will teach you how to insert, remove, and care for your lenses, then make sure you feel comfortable before you leave. If you already wear contacts, we can confirm that your current lenses still fit properly and meet your vision needs.
Care that makes follow-up easier
Drs. Mary and Charles Charbonneau lead a family- and veteran-owned practice that offers Saturday appointments from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. We provide attentive, personalized care in English and Spanish for patients at every stage of contact lens wear.
Why is a contact eye exam important?
Contact lenses sit directly on your eyes, so a current prescription and proper fit are important for clear vision, comfort, and eye health. A contact lens exam helps us check for changes that could affect how your lenses feel or perform, including dryness, prescription changes, and eye health concerns.
What to expect during a contact lens exam
Annual contact lens exams are essential for everyone who wears contact lenses, no matter how long or often they’ve been wearing them. If you’re trying contact lenses for the first time, our eye doctor will:
- Determine your prescription
- Ask about your lifestyle and vision goals
- Check for any underlying eye conditions that could affect your ability to wear contacts.
- Take precise eye measurements to ensure your contacts will fit properly and comfortably.
We will also show you how to insert, remove, and care for your lenses and schedule follow-up visits to make sure the contacts are a good fit for you.
For experienced contact lens wearers, we will check that your lenses still fit properly, your prescription is accurate, and your eyes remain healthy.
