Contact Lens Exams

At Riverdale Vision Care, we provide comprehensive contact lens exams and professional contact lens fittings to help you achieve clear, comfortable vision. Whether you are new to contact lenses or looking to update your prescription, our experienced eye doctors will help you find the best lenses for your eyes and lifestyle.

Thanks to today’s advanced contact lens technology, many patients who previously struggled with contacts—such as those with astigmatism, dry eyes, or presbyopia—can now wear contact lenses comfortably.

What Is a Contact Lens Exam?

A contact lens exam is different from a regular eye exam. While a routine eye exam checks your vision and eye health, a contact lens exam includes additional measurements to ensure your lenses fit properly and safely.

During your contact lens exam, our doctor will evaluate:

• Your vision prescription
• The overall health of your eyes
• The shape and curvature of your cornea
• Your tear film and eye moisture levels
• Your lifestyle and daily visual needs

These specialized tests help us determine which contact lenses will provide the best vision, comfort, and eye health.

Contact Lens Fitting

When it comes to contact lenses, one size does not fit all. Proper fit is essential for both clear vision and long-term eye health.

During your contact lens fitting, our doctor will take precise measurements of your eyes to ensure the lenses match the natural shape of your cornea.

Contact lenses that do not fit properly can cause:

• Eye discomfort
• Blurry vision
• Dryness or irritation
• Potential eye damage

To prevent these issues, we carefully measure the curvature of your eye and evaluate your tear film to ensure your eyes produce enough moisture to keep contact lenses comfortable throughout the day.

Our goal is to provide contact lenses that fit safely, feel comfortable, and deliver the clearest vision possible.

Our goal is to make your transition to contact lenses easy, safe, and comfortable.
