Contact Lens Exam

A contact lens exam is about finding the perfect-fitting lens for your eyes and lifestyle. While comprehensive eye exams look at your overall eye health and vision needs, a contact lens exam focuses specifically on how contact lenses fit and how well they correct your vision. At The Eye Doctors P.C., we offer contact lens exams in Sioux Falls, South Dakota using the latest technology. If you are considering wearing contact lenses for the first time or are due for your annual contact lens exam, our state-of-the-art equipment ensures that you will receive the best possible care.   

Don’t be discouraged if you’ve been told that contact lenses aren’t an option for you! New lens options have made it possible to accommodate many different eye conditions, including astigmatism, presbyopia, keratoconus, dry eye, and other conditions. Our eye doctor will take the time to understand your specific needs and preferences, ensuring your lenses fit comfortably and provide the best vision.  

If you’re new to contact lenses 

When you come in for a contact lens exam in Sioux Falls, we’ll start by discussing your overall health, lifestyle, and vision needs. Our eye doctor will conduct a thorough eye exam to make sure your eyes are healthy and to get a baseline for your vision. We also measure the shape and curvature of your cornea, as well as your pupils and irises, helping us ensure a perfect fit for your contact lenses.  

We will then provide you with trial lenses to wear. This allows us to assess the fit and comfort of the lenses and make any necessary adjustments. We’ll also show you how to insert, remove, and care for them. After you’ve had a chance to try the trial lenses, we’ll discuss how they’re working for you and make any necessary tweaks. Once we find the best lenses for you, we’ll provide your prescription and help you order them. We offer a range of options to suit different needs and preferences.  

If you already wear contact lenses 

If you already wear contact lenses, we’ll see how your current lenses are working for you. Our eye doctor will evaluate the fit, comfort, and effectiveness of your current lenses to ensure they still meet your vision needs. We’ll also look for any signs of irritation or complications that may develop from long-term lens wear, such as dry eye or corneal issues. 

We may recommend trying different types of lenses or updating your prescription if your vision has changed or if your current lenses are causing discomfort. You’ll be provided with trial lenses to ensure the best fit and comfort, and we’ll make adjustments if needed.
