Contact Lens
Examination
A contact lens evaluation starts with
a comprehensive eye evaluation to determine the
patient’s proper prescription and to ensure
there are no eye diseases or problems that would
prohibit the use of contact lenses. The quality
of a patient’s tear film will then be tested.
This is a determining factor in the comfort a patient
will experience with contact lenses. There are also
certain contacts available for those who have a
poor quality tear film. Dr. Brooks will then look
at the prescription, tear film results, and curvature
readings of the patient’s cornea to determine
the right type and size trial contact lens to rest
on the patient’s eyes. The fit will then be
evaluated. Once a proper fit is determined, new
contact lens wearers will attend a class on the
proper care and maintenance of their lenses as well
as inserting and removing the lenses. This class
usually takes about an hour. These patients are
re-evaluated usually in 7 to 10 days to ensure there
are no complications. Patients are then allowed
to purchase
product.
