The contact lens examination is an examination in
addition to the comprehensive eye exam with certain tests directly
related to the eye’s ability to wear contact lenses.
In order for a patient to determine whether or not he/she can wear
contact lenses, it is necessary to have a contact lens examination.
If a patient already wears contact lenses, it is important to have
an annual contact lens evaluation in addition to their comprehensive
eye exam. The prescription for your eyeglasses is not the same as
your contact lens prescription.
