At our practice in Morgantown, we understand that each patient's needs are unique. Whether you're into sports, want a glasses-free look, or have specialized visual requirements, our team is dedicated to finding the perfect contact lens solution for you.

Contact Lens Exams: Finding Your Ideal Lenses

A contact lens exam at Morgantown Eye Associates is a comprehensive process that assesses various aspects of your vision and eye health. Here’s what to expect:

• Detailed Vision Assessment: We start with a thorough assessment of your vision, evaluating how sharp your sight is and how well your eyes function together. This step is crucial for determining the correct prescription for your contact lenses.
• Corneal Measurement: Using advanced tools, we measure the curvature of your cornea. Precise measurements are vital for finding a contact lens that fits comfortably and correctly on your eye, enhancing your overall lens-wearing experience.
• Eye Health Evaluation: We examine the health of your eyes, looking for any conditions that could influence your ability to wear contacts. This includes screening for dry eye syndrome, astigmatism, or other eye health concerns that require specialized attention.
• Tear Film Analysis: For those with dry eyes, assessing the quality and quantity of your tear film is essential. This step ensures that we recommend lenses that maintain hydration and comfort throughout the day.
• Fitting for Specialty Lenses: If you have a condition like keratoconus or require post-surgical lenses, we'll discuss specialty lens options. These lenses are designed to provide comfort and clarity for more complex visual needs.

We Offer Personalized Contact Lens Care Beyond Eye Exams

During a contact lens trial fitting, we will have you test out a pair of contacts to evaluate comfort and fit. They will monitor the positioning, movement, and your eye's reaction for 15-20 minutes before deciding whether to order those lenses. You’ll receive guidance on insertion/removal, wearing times, and storage. Follow-up appointments allow reassessment of fit, vision clarity, and eye health, with adjustments made if needed, like switching lens brands, disinfecting solutions, or wearing schedules. Notify your eye doctor promptly about any discomfort so modifications can be made for optimal vision and ocular health when wearing contacts.
