94598 Contact Lens Exams

Do you use contact lenses for daily vision correction? Are you considering switching to contact lenses in the future? No matter whether you are a contact lens beginner, or a veteran in the game, it is necessary that you vision our Walnut Creek opticians here at the Shigio Optometric Group for regular contact lens exams and fittings. In order for your contact lenses to be as effective and comfortable as possible, it is imperative that they are fitted properly. If you have never worn contact lenses before, our Walnut Creek opticians will begin your exam and fitting with a brief consultation about how often you will wear your lenses, what you will use them for, and some basic lifestyle questions so that we can try out lenses that are best suited for your individual needs.

We will also carefully examine your eyes to check for issues that may conflict with your contact lenses or put you at an increased risk of contact lens-related infection. After that basic evaluation, we will prepare contact lenses that are exactly the correct curvature, thickness, and diameter for your specific measurements. From there, we will place the lenses in your eyes to check for proper fit. You can then see if you feel comfortable wearing them, or we can make adjustments and switch them out for other lenses if necessary. Once you feel happy and comfortable with your lenses, we will complete the appointment by instructing you on how to put in and take out your lenses, store them, and keep them clean and sanitized. After this first contact lens fitting, it is important that you return for a follow-up visit with our Walnut Creek opticians so that we can confirm that they are functioning properly and fitting well in your eyes over time.
