What happens during Contact Lens Fittings & Evaluations?
A contact lens fitting and evaluation does more than match you with a prescription. We assess how your lenses sit on the eye, how your eyes respond to lens wear, and whether a certain lens design may better fit your vision needs and lifestyle. If you are new to contacts, we can also walk you through the basics of insertion, removal, and lens care.
Some patients do best in daily lenses, while others may prefer bi-weekly or monthly options. Depending on your eyes and prescription, we may also recommend toric lenses for astigmatism, multifocal or bifocal lenses, or specialty options for more complex fits.
Do I need Contact Lens Fittings & Evaluations?
If you want to wear contact lenses, the answer is yes. A contact lens fitting and evaluation helps make sure your lenses are safe, comfortable, and appropriate for your eyes. Even if you already have a glasses prescription, contact lenses require their own measurements and assessment.
You may also need an evaluation if you already wear contacts but have noticed dryness, irritation, blurry vision, or reduced comfort by the end of the day. Small adjustments in lens type, fit, or replacement schedule can often make a big difference in how your lenses feel and perform.

How can Contact Lens Fittings & Evaluations help?
Contact lens fittings and evaluations help match you with lenses that suit your prescription, comfort needs, and daily routine.

Signs it may be time to schedule
You should consider scheduling a contact lens fitting or evaluation if you are interested in trying contacts for the first time, need an updated contact lens prescription, have discomfort while wearing lenses, notice blurry vision in contacts, or want to explore better options for astigmatism, multifocal needs, or hard-to-fit eyes.
Do I need regular Contact Lens Fittings & Evaluations?
Yes. Contact lens wear should be monitored regularly to make sure your prescription is current, your lenses still fit properly, and your eyes are staying healthy with daily wear. Routine evaluations can also help address comfort changes before they turn into bigger issues.
