Contact Lens Fitting from Our Optometrist near You in Chico, CA
Contact lenses are a convenient and comfortable alternative to traditional eyeglasses. However, a proper contact lens fitting is essential to ensure clear vision and healthy eyes. At Chico Vision Care Optometry in Chico, CA, we specialize in precise fittings to help you find contacts that match your lifestyle and unique eye needs.
Initial Consultation
The first step in the contact lens fitting process is a comprehensive eye exam. During the exam, our optometrist will check the overall health of your eyes, evaluates your vision needs, and assesses the curvature of your cornea. These measurements are crucial because they help determine the best type of contact lenses for your eyes.
Measuring for the Perfect Fit
Once your prescription is determined, we will measure the size and shape of your cornea. These measurements are critical for finding the right lens size and curvature to provide a comfortable fit. If your eyes have unique characteristics, such as astigmatism, the doctor may recommend specialized lenses to ensure the best vision and comfort.
Trial Lenses and Adjustments
After the initial measurements, you’ll try on a set of trial lenses. Our optometrist will evaluate how well they fit and if you experience any discomfort. You’ll be asked to wear them for a short period to assess comfort and vision clarity. If necessary, adjustments will be made to ensure that the contacts fit well and provide clear, comfortable vision.
Lens Care and Follow-Up Appointments
During your fitting, our eye doctor will teach you how to properly insert, remove, and care for your lenses. Proper care is crucial for maintaining eye health and extending the lifespan of your lenses. You’ll also receive guidance on how frequently to replace your contacts and when to schedule follow-up appointments to ensure everything is working well.
