Contact Lens Exam from Redding Eyecare Center
At Redding Eyecare Center, we take a lot of pride in the services we can provide to our patients. One of the many services we can provide is contact lenses. There are many reasons why someone might need contact lenses; however, the most common is due to refraction issues such as myopia and hyperopia. At Redding Eyecare Center, our doctors are happy to provide contact lenses to those who need them; however, the first step is to conduct a contact lens exam.
What is a Contact Lens Exam?
Before someone can walk out the door with a new set of contacts, the doctors at the Redding Eyecare Center will need to conduct a contact lens exam first. This is an exam that is done to make sure our patients are able to use regular contacts. In this exam, an eye doctor is going to measure the curvature of your eyes. This curvature matters because most lenses are designed to sit in the eyes a certain way. If the eyes are curved outside of this range, the contacts are not going to sit properly. The result could be contacts that might be uncomfortable or fall out easily. This can lead to serious issues. A contact lens exam performed by a trained eye doctor can help prevent this issue from happening.
Why Might Someone Need Special Lenses?
There are a few reasons why someone might require special lenses following a contact lens exam. For example, at Redding Eyecare Center, one of the most common problems we see is eyes that simply aren’t shaped the same as regular contact lenses. We can still provide lenses that fit; however, they might need to be made specially. Some people might also need special lenses if their eyes are too dry. There are special contacts that can be made to help someone’s eyes remain moist, minimizing irritation. Finally, there are other chronic eye conditions that might also cause someone to require special lenses. Trust our eye doctors to help everyone find a set of contacts that will suit their needs.
