What To Expect During a Contact Lens Fitting

Since contact lenses rest on your cornea, it's crucial to get a perfect fit. At Butler Eye Care, our optometrist will work with you to find the best contacts for your needs and check to make sure your lenses fit you perfectly. Here's what you can expect when you visit our office in Lebanon, MO for a contact lens fitting.

An Eye Evaluation from an Eye Doctor

Before we prescribe you new contact lenses, Dr. Butler will carefully evaluate your eyes. Not only will we measure your pupils and the surface of your eye, but we will take a closer look at the condition and shape of your cornea. We will also do a tear film evaluation to see if you have dry eyes.

Finding the Right Contact Lenses for Your Needs

Your contacts need to fit your eye, but they also need to be a match for your lifestyle. To help you find the right contacts, our eye doctor will ask questions about your hobbies, day-to-day life, and any issues you've had with contacts in the past. Once we have a better understanding of your needs, we will make recommendations and have you try on a few different pairs of contacts. We will work with you to find contacts that you're comfortable wearing.

Custom Contact Lens Fittings

While we offer contacts from a variety of brands, ready-made lenses may not be a good fit for your eyes. Thankfully, this doesn't mean you have to give up on wearing contacts. We offer custom-made lenses that are designed to match the contour of your cornea. Even if you have irregular eyes, our eye care expert will make sure that your new contacts have the perfect fit.
