Contact Lens Exams & Fittings in El Paso, TX
A contact lens exam goes beyond a routine eye exam. We take precise measurements, check eye surface health, and fit trial lenses so your contacts feel great from morning to night.
Why a contact lens exam is different
Contacts sit directly on the eye, so fit and tear film health matter. Your visit includes corneal curvature measurements, a tear evaluation, and lens fit assessment—plus time for training if you’re new to contacts. This focused exam ensures comfort, clarity, and safe, healthy wear.
What to expect
First, we talk about your vision goals—work, screens, sports, convenience. Next, we measure for fit and oxygen needs, then try lenses to test vision and comfort. You’ll learn how to insert/remove, clean, and care for lenses. If needed, we schedule a quick follow-up to fine-tune power or fit.
Typical visit time: about 45–60 minutes.
Who it’s for
Whether you’re trying contacts for the first time, dealing with dryness or discomfort, or ready to upgrade to easier care options, we’ll guide you. We also fit lenses for astigmatism and presbyopia, and help active patients choose lenses that match their routine.
Lens options (simple and practical)
Check-in is simple. Pre-testing is quick and comfortable. Your doctor will review results, examine eye health, and discuss your prescription. You’ll leave with next steps—glasses, contacts, or follow-up care—without feeling rushed.
Comfort & safety tips
Replace lenses on schedule. Don’t sleep in lenses unless specifically approved. Never rinse with water. Keep cases clean and dry (if using reusables). If you notice redness, pain, or sudden blur, remove lenses and contact us.
