Comprehensive Eye Exams for Contact Lenses

At Classic Vision Care, we provide thorough contact lens exams designed to ensure clear vision, long-term eye health, and all-day comfort. Because contact lenses sit directly on the surface of your eyes, they require a specialized contact lens eye exam that goes beyond a standard vision test.

Our experienced eye doctors deliver personalized eye exams for contacts using advanced diagnostic technology to evaluate eye health, lens fit, and vision needs. Patients throughout Marietta, Kennesaw, and surrounding Cobb County communities trust Classic Vision Care for accurate prescriptions, comfortable fittings, and expert contact lens guidance.

Why are contact lens eye exams so important background

What Is a Contact Lens Exam?

A contact lens eye exam is a specialized evaluation that ensures your contact lenses fit properly, provide clear vision, and support the health of your eyes. Unlike a routine eye exam, an exam for contacts includes additional measurements and testing to account for the way lenses interact directly with your cornea.

During your contact lens exam, our eye doctors assess:

  • Eye shape and corneal curvature

  • Tear film quality and eye moisture

  • Lens movement and positioning

  • Visual clarity and comfort

  • Overall eye health and safety for contact lens wear

This detailed process allows us to customize your contact lens prescription for optimal performance and long-term comfort.

What Are Contact Lenses & How Do They Work?

Contact lenses are thin, curved optical lenses worn directly on the eye to correct vision by bending light before it enters the eye. They are commonly used to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia.

Because contacts move naturally with your eyes, they offer a wider field of vision and a more natural visual experience than glasses. A properly performed eye exam for contact lenses ensures your lenses work effectively while keeping your eyes healthy and comfortable throughout daily wear.

What Is Included in an Eye Exam for Contacts?

An eye exam for contacts includes advanced testing that goes beyond a traditional vision exam. Since contact lenses rest directly on your eyes, precision is critical.

Your contact eye exam may include:

  • Keratometry to measure corneal curvature

  • Corneal topography to map the eye’s surface

  • Pupil and iris measurements

  • Tear film evaluation

  • Lens fitting assessment and trial lenses

These tests help determine the safest and most effective contact lens option for your eyes while ensuring proper fit and long-term eye health.

Types of Contact Lenses We Fit

contact l Your experience with contacts depends greatly, of course, on selecting the right lenses for your eyes. Our doctors are experts in a variety of contacts and know how each can benefit you.

Contact lenses for Astigmatism: Toric contact lenses are available in soft and rigid gas permeable (GP) options. These lenses are designed to correct the irregular shape of the cornea, offering effective vision correction.

Multifocal contact lenses: These lenses are ideal for people with presbyopia, providing clear vision for both near and far distances. They come in soft and gas-permeable designs, with multiple prescriptions in different zones available.

Contact lenses for long-sightedness and short-sightedness: These lenses correct distance and near vision respectively and are available in soft and gas-permeable materials. 

Contact lenses for daily wear: Daily contact lenses are for one-time use.

Contact lenses for extended-wear: These contact lenses may be worn overnight for added convenience.

Each of these contact lens options are carefully evaluated during your contact lens exam to ensure comfort, clarity, and safety.

Common Contact Lens Issues & How To Avoid Them

Wearing contact lenses without proper care can lead to discomfort, irritation, or infection. Common issues often result from improper cleaning, overwearing lenses, or sleeping in contacts not designed for overnight use.

A routine contact lens eye exam allows our doctors to monitor eye health, identify early signs of irritation, and provide guidance on proper hygiene and wear schedules. Following professional recommendations helps reduce the risk of infection and keeps your eyes healthy.

FAQs

How Do I Put in and Remove Contact Lenses

To insert contact lenses, start with clean hands – hand sanitizer is perfect. Place the lens on your fingertip. Hold your upper eyelid with one finger and pull down your lower lid with another. Gently place the lens onto your eye’s surface, then release your eyelids.

To remove, look upward, hold your eyelid, and use your fingertip to slide the lens down to the white of your eye. Gently pinch the lens between your thumb and finger to remove it.

Always follow your eye care professional’s instructions

What are Contact Lenses Made From?

Contact lenses are made from various materials, most commonly hydrogel or silicone hydrogel. These materials are soft, and flexible, and allow oxygen to pass through to the cornea, ensuring comfort and eye health.

Rigid gas-permeable lenses are made from a durable plastic material that also allows oxygen transmission.
