Contact Lens Fitting

If you are considering switching from eyeglasses to contact lenses, make your first step be to schedule an appointment with a Somerset, NJ, ophthalmologist with us at Bradley J. Phillips MD LLC. You may need to receive an eye exam with a contact lens fitting in order to help ensure your eyes are healthy enough for contacts and determine your prescription. If this is something you’ve never experienced, you may be curious about what to expect.

Discuss Lens Options and Preferences

Apart from the eye examination itself, you may also be asked about your current lifestyle. This information can help our eye doctor determine the best contact lenses for you. There is an assortment of lenses, including daily disposables, and special lenses for people who have certain eye conditions like astigmatism.

Take Measurements

One part of the contact lens fitting appointment is having measurements of your eye taken. Our ophthalmologist can take measurements that you will need. He can also check to ensure that tear production is adequate, as dry eyes can impact contact lens wearers.

Learn about Contact Lens Wear

Once you and our eye doctor on our ophthalmology team have determined the type of contact lenses for you and your lifestyle, a trial pair may be ordered. Our eye doctor can use these to educate you on the proper use, wear, and care of your contact lenses.

As you are trying on a contact lens, make sure to let our ophthalmologist on our ophthalmology team know if you experience blurred vision or any kind of discomfort. While it can take some time to get used to wearing contact lenses, the contact lenses are not made to make you feel uncomfortable.
