A contact lens exam is different from a standard eye exam. In addition to determining your prescription, we evaluate how lenses fit on your eyes, how your eyes respond to them, and how they perform throughout your day. This allows our Reno eye doctor to recommend lenses that feel comfortable and provide clear vision, whether you’re on screens, driving, or navigating Reno’s dry climate.

What to Expect During Your Contact Lens Fitting
A contact lens fitting is a step-by-step process to ensure your lenses are comfortable and suited to your eyes. Each stage helps us refine your fit and make sure your lenses perform well in real-world conditions.
step 1: your Needs and History
We begin by discussing your experience with contact lenses and how you plan to use them.
Step 2: Measuring Your Eyes
We take detailed measurements of your eyes, including the shape of your cornea and the condition of your tear film.
Step 3: Selecting & Trial Lenses
Based on your measurements, we select trial lenses for you to try. We evaluate how they fit, how they move on your eye, and how clearly you see.
Step 4: Fine-Tuning Your Fit
We refine your prescription and lens choice based on your feedback and how your eyes respond during the fitting process.
Step 5: Follow-Up & Long-Term Comfort
After you’ve worn your lenses, follow-up visits allow us to confirm that everything is working as expected. If needed, we make further adjustments to ensure long-term comfort.
Contact Lens Fittings for Complex Needs
Not all eyes are the same, and some patients require a more advanced approach to contact lenses. For those with irregular corneas, high prescriptions, or ongoing discomfort with standard lenses, custom-designed contact lenses can provide a better solution.
Using detailed measurements and advanced fitting techniques, we design lenses specifically for your eyes. This allows for improved comfort, better vision, and solutions for cases where traditional contact lenses may not have worked.
