What is a contact lens exam?

Contact lenses come in a wide variety of designs, materials and sizes. A contact lens exam, which measures the shape of your eye and how moist your eyes are, helps find the best lenses for your vision needs and comfort.

A contact lens exam usually happens after a routine eye exam, when the optometrist knows your overall eye health and prescription needs.

Contact lens exams may require additional tests and may include a fitting fee.
