Contact Lens Exams
Contact lenses offer a flexible vision solution for various lifestyles, whether worn daily or on special occasions. At Shanks Center and Optical, we ensure your lenses fit comfortably and suit your unique needs with a thorough examination.
Why Opt for Contact Lenses?
Contact lenses provide freedom and convenience for those seeking an alternative to glasses. During your examination, we’ll assess your eye health and vision to determine the most suitable lens options for you.
The Significance of a Comprehensive Exam
Beyond vision correction, a comprehensive eye exam evaluates your overall eye health and identifies potential issues that may affect contact lens wear. Our team ensures your eyes are healthy and compatible with contact lens use.
Specialized Care for Hard-to-Fit Patients
We understand that some patients face unique challenges with contact lens wear, such as astigmatism or dry eyes. Our experienced team specializes in fitting specialty lenses tailored to your specific needs.
The Contact Lens Fitting Process
Your contact lens fitting begins with precise measurements to ensure proper lens fit and comfort. We assess corneal curvature, pupil size, and tear film quality to determine the ideal lens type for you.
Trial and Prescription
Once we identify suitable lenses, we’ll have you try on a pair to assess fit and comfort before finalizing your prescription. Our team provides thorough instructions on lens care and hygiene to ensure optimal comfort and safety.
Follow-Up Care
We prioritize your ongoing comfort and satisfaction with your contact lenses. Our team may recommend follow-up appointments to monitor your eyes’ adjustment and address any concerns or discomfort promptly.
Hard-to-Fit Contacts
Challenges such as astigmatism, presbyopia, keratoconus, and dry eyes needn’t be a barrier to contact lens wear. However, they do require more time and patience.
