Because contact lenses are medical devices, a contact lens exam is required in Pennsylvania prior to any contacts can be prescribed. Your eye doctor is required to make sure that your vision examination for your contact lens prescription involves finding the correct fit and solution for your contacts.
For contact lens wearers, a contact lens exam is absolutely necessary to ensure the lenses are fitting both eyes properly and that the health of your eyes are not harmed by contact lenses. For example, not everyone's eyes make enough tears to even wear contact lenses. We will consult with you about your lifestyle, e.g., if you are involved in a lot of sports, etc. and will involve measurements.
It is a special exam in addition to your Routine Eye Exam. This special exam assess the curvatures of the eye, evaluates the cornea and eyelids in relationship to the contacts as well as the movement of the lens on the eye. This exam also determines your contact lens prescription, because it is not the same as the glasses prescription.Patients need to be careful to get a proper fit, and also learn how to clean and store them safely. Getting contacts from an eye care doctor, complete with a special exam, is the way to go, not through mail order.
If you wear or want contacts, you need a contact lens exam in addition to a comprehensive eye exam. Your eye doctor will perform special tests during a contact lens exam to evaluate your vision with contacts. The first test will measure your eye surface to determine what size and type of contacts are best for you. Your doctor may also do a tear film evaluation to make sure you have enough tears to comfortably wear contacts.
With the results of those tests, we provide a contact lens prescription that is the right fit for your eyes. An eyeglass prescription is no substitute for a contact lens exam because the two are very different. An eyeglass prescription measures for lenses that are positioned approximately 12 millimeters from your eyes; whereas a contact lens prescription measures for lenses that sit directly on the surface the eye. An improper fitting or prescription of contacts can damage your eye health.
