Why a Contact Lens Exam Matters
Your contact lens exam is similar to a comprehensive eye exam. We examine your eyes and determine if they’re suited for contact lenses. Afterwards, we recommend the contact lenses that match your needs.
Contact lenses are medical devices that rest directly on the delicate surface of your eye. If they are not fitted properly, they can be uncomfortable and even damage the surface of your eyes.
It’s important to have regular exams and fittings, whether you are a new wearer or have had contact lenses for years, so your optometrist can make sure that your eyes are staying healthy with your current pair.
How We Find and Fit Your Contact Lenses
Our team will discuss your lifestyle, medical history, and previous contact lens experience (if you have any) to help us understand your vision needs. Another important part of your contact lens exam is your eye health assessment. We’ll examine your eyes and tear film with diagnostic technology to see if contact lenses are a good fit for you.
We can recommend contact lenses after reviewing your results. After fitting you with contact lenses, we’ll schedule a follow-up appointment to discuss your new contacts and see how you feel about them. Our team will work with you until you find contact lenses providing you with clear and comfortable vision.
Our Specialty Contact Lens Options
New contact lens technologies have made contacts accessible to a wider variety of wearers. Your visual needs may be specific and more complicated than others, but that does not mean that contact lenses are not an option for you.
If you are interested in discussing contact lenses, our team at InVision Eyecare will determine which options will suit your unique needs and provide guidance when making a decision about contact lenses. We’re here to help you achieve clear vision in a way that fits your lifestyle.
Like multifocal eyeglasses, multifocal contact lenses offer multiple prescriptions in a single lens. These contact lenses can help provide clear vision at any distance.
They are specifically designed for patients who have difficulty seeing distant objects and are also experiencing presbyopia. Presbyopia is a condition associated with age where patients have trouble focusing on objects up close.
Most contact lenses only cover the cornea of your eye (that’s the clear, dome-shaped part in front of your iris). However, scleral lenses are large enough that they rest on the white part of your eye, called the sclera. They vault over the cornea without touching it, making them a good option for those with irregular corneas.
These lenses are a great choice for those with light sensitivity, dry eye or keratoconus.
Thanks to toric lenses, patients with astigmatism have a contact lens option. These lenses are shaped specifically to reduce the distortion caused by astigmatism. They are weighted on one side to keep the contacts from shifting or rotating, making it imperative to have these lenses professionally fitted.
Aspheric lenses offer better sight with less distortion than traditional spherical lenses, particularly for higher prescriptions. Their flatter shape is designed to mimic natural optics, with fewer peripheral aberrations. Children and adults can both benefit from the increased depth of focus offered by aspheric lenses.
Rigid gas-permeable (RGP) contact lenses are designed from a rigid material that allows oxygen to pass through it. RGP lenses can be created in single vision, multifocal, and other prescription styles.
Because gas-permeable contact lenses are sturdier than standard soft contact lenses, they also tend to last longer. Their rigidity, which allows them to maintain their shape even while you blink, means some patients report clearer vision than with other types of contact lenses.

Frequently Asked Questions About Contact Lenses
Yes, the two prescriptions are different. A contact lens prescription includes specific lens curvature and diameter measurements because the lens rests directly on your eye.
You should never attempt to buy contact lenses using a glasses prescription or without professional guidance, as poorly fitted lenses can damage your eyes. Please book a dedicated contact lens exam at InVision Eyecare to get an accurate fit.
Contact lenses are very safe for daily wear as long as you maintain diligent hygiene and strictly follow your optometrist’s wear and care instructions. Neglecting proper care routines or wearing unauthorized lenses can quickly lead to painful eye infections.
Yes, many modern contact lenses are crafted from advanced, high-moisture materials engineered specifically to keep dry eyes comfortable throughout the day. An optometrist can assess your tear film and recommend specialized lenses or hydrating drops that fit your specific comfort needs.
During a contact lens fitting, our optometrists evaluate your cornea’s shape, visual needs, and lifestyle to select the ideal lens material and replacement schedule for you. Whether you want to try contact lenses for the first time or need to update an existing prescription, schedule a contact lens exam with our team to find your perfect fit.
If you are interested in buying coloured contact lenses, you should discuss options with your optometrist. Even if you do not need a prescription, it is important to get a proper fit for lenses made from quality materials.
Cheap costume or novelty lenses bought online or from unlicensed retailers can cause severe eye infections, corneal scratches, and permanent damage. All contact lenses, even coloured or Halloween lenses, are medical devices that require a valid prescription and a professional fitting from an eye care provider.
To avoid infections, always wash and dry your hands thoroughly before touching your eyes, clean your lenses properly, and strictly adhere to your optometrist’s replacement and wearing guidelines. You should avoid sleeping in your lenses, sharing lenses, or purchasing contacts without an official prescription.
