Contact Lens Exam
At Susan Fisher OD, we promise to be the best of the best when treating your eye and vision care needs. When it comes to contact lenses, our optometrists provide both corrective lens evaluations and prescription management.
Contact lenses can be used to correct a refractive error (commonly known as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism depending on the error).
After a comprehensive eye and vision evaluation, the doctor will discuss the variety of contact lens options available to you and assist in the selection of the type that best fits your vision needs and lifestyle.
To see if contact lenses are for you, schedule an appointment for a vision evaluation, contact us today.
How Much is the Contact Lens Exam Fee and How is that Determined?
As every set of eyes are different, so are our eye exams. We take several factors into consideration when evaluating the test components necessary to get a complete picture of your eye health.
The doctor can only determine the exact level of fitting after completing the exam when all the patient’s needs have been assessed.
We are more than happy to discuss the full range of prices upfront with any patient based on previous contact lens history and what the patient desires to use going forward.
Factors Considered
The complexity of the fit
Many options for vision correction exist and have varying levels of complexity to determine the optimal Rx. These options include spherical lenses (most common), toric lenses for astigmatism, monovision, and bifocal lenses.
Patient’s ocular health
The condition of the eyelids, conjunctiva, cornea, and tear film all affect the optimal contact lens material, shape, and care. As general health and medical conditions affect ocular vision, these must be taken into consideration as well.
History of previous eye surgeries or injuries
Corneal irregularities or eye sensitivity can be the result of eye surgeries or injuries. In these cases, more care may be required to prevent irritation or complications.
