Contact Lens Fittings in Centennial
A good contact lens fitting is about more than your prescription. At Hamilton Vision Center, our eye doctors measure your eyes, check your tear film, and test real lenses so you walk out seeing clearly and feeling comfortable. Whether it is your first pair or your tenth year in contacts, we make sure the fit is right.
How a Contact Lens Exam Differs From an Eye Exam
A standard eye exam evaluates the health of your eyes and determines your vision prescription. A contact lens exam is a specialized evaluation designed to ensure contacts fit safely on your eyes.
During a contact lens exam, we measure your cornea's curvature and diameter, assess your tear film to ensure your eyes can tolerate lenses, and evaluate the overall surface of your eyes. These measurements are entirely different from what is gathered during a glasses prescription exam.
What Is Included in a Contact Lens Exam
Your contact lens exam at Hamilton Vision Center covers everything needed to get you into lenses that fit well and feel comfortable all day:
- Corneal measurements, so your lenses sit centered and stable instead of sliding or blurring
- Tear film evaluation, so we know your eyes can stay comfortable in lenses, and can catch the dry eye that often hides behind "contacts just do not work for me"
- A trial lens fitting and on-eye check, so you feel the fit before you commit
- A vision check with the trial lenses in place
- Hands-on insertion and removal training
- A care and replacement schedule matched to your lifestyle
- A follow-up visit to confirm the fit and your eye health
Fittings for Specialty Lenses
Not every eye fits a standard soft lens, and that is okay. Our optometrists have the training and tools to fit a wide range of specialty lenses for patients who need them:
- Toric lenses: Correct astigmatism with precision that standard soft lenses cannot match.
- Multifocal lenses: Provides clear vision at near and far distances, ideal if you are over 40.
- Scleral lenses: Large-diameter lenses that vault over the cornea, offering comfort and sharp vision for irregular corneas, severe dry eye, and conditions like keratoconus,
- Ortho-K lenses: Worn overnight to gently reshape the cornea, providing clear daytime vision without glasses or contacts
If you have been told in the past that you are hard to fit, come talk to us. We will find a solution that works for your eyes.
