Understanding the Contact Lens Prescription Process

Your eyes deserve specialized attention to ensure your contact lenses fit comfortably and perform optimally. The process starts with a comprehensive eye health evaluation, during which the doctor checks for dryness, redness, or irritation that could affect lens wear.

We then test your vision to determine the precise correction needed, measuring how light enters your eyes and how they focus. Since everyone's eyes are unique, your prescription will be tailored to you.

We'll also discuss your lifestyle—such as your daily routine, planned wear time, screen use, and lens preferences—to recommend options that enhance comfort and suit your needs.

At City Eyes Optometry Center, our priority is a prescription that delivers clear vision while prioritizing eye health. We explain each step clearly, empowering you to feel confident in your contact lens selection.


Measuring for the Perfect Contact Lens Fit

A precise contact lens fit is crucial for comfort and optimal vision. Our optometrist performs meticulous measurements to ensure your lenses feel just right.

Here's what to expect during your fitting:

  • Corneal Measurement: Using a keratometer, we measure your corneal curvature to select the ideal lens shape.
  • Pupil and Iris Sizing: We measure your pupil and iris diameters to ensure the lens aligns properly on your eye.
  • Lens Trial: You'll try sample lenses to evaluate their movement and comfort during blinks and eye shifts.

The aim is seamless coverage without irritation. Ill-fitting lenses—whether too tight or too loose—can lead to dryness or blurred vision. At City Eyes Optometry Center, we customize every fitting to your eye's unique contours, promoting all-day comfort and sustained eye health.


Advanced Technology in Contact Lens Prescription Testing

Today's innovations have transformed contact lens exams, making them more precise and patient-friendly. At City Eyes Optometry Center, we use cutting-edge tools to provide an in-depth analysis of your eyes.

Corneal topographers generate detailed 3D maps of your cornea, revealing subtle curves and contours. This data enables us to craft lenses that fit flawlessly, minimizing irritation and maximizing visual acuity.

Digital imaging captures high-resolution views of your eye's surface, allowing us to spot dryness, inflammation, or minor irregularities that could influence your prescription.

Our technology also monitors long-term lens performance, facilitating timely adjustments to maintain clarity and ease.


Finding the Right Contact Lens Type for Your Eyes

Contact lenses vary widely, and the best choice hinges on your eye profile and daily demands. Our optometrist will walk you through options to match your comfort and requirements.

Consider these popular types:

  • Daily Disposables: Ideal for hassle-free wear—fresh lenses each day, no cleaning required.
  • Biweekly or Monthly Lenses: Cost-effective reusables that need proper cleaning and storage.
  • Soft Lenses: Flexible and beginner-friendly for most wearers.
  • Rigid Gas-Permeable (RGP) Lenses: Provide superior sharpness, especially for complex prescriptions.
  • Specialty Lenses: Tailored for conditions like dry eyes, astigmatism, or irregular corneas.

We'll also explore enhancements such as colored lenses or multifocal lenses for near-and-far correction. At City Eyes Optometry Center, we partner with you to select lenses that align with your eyes and lifestyle, ensuring effortless, vibrant vision every day.


What to Expect After Your Contact Lens Prescription in Sherman Oaks CA

After your exam, you'll receive a trial pair of lenses to wear at home. This evaluation phase lets us observe your eyes' response and refine the fit as needed.

Typically, the process includes:

  • Wearing the trial lenses for a few days.
  • Monitoring comfort, moisture levels, and any dryness.
  • Attending a follow-up appointment to verify fit and visual sharpness.

If all checks out, we'll finalize your prescription for ordering. Otherwise, we'll tweak it for perfection. This diligent follow-up safeguards your eye health and guarantees enduring comfort.

At City Eyes Optometry Center, we're committed to prescriptions that nurture healthy eyes and impeccable vision.
