Eye Exams for Contact Lenses in Portland, OR
Comfortable contact lenses start with a proper fit and a detailed understanding of your eye health. Cedar Hills Vision Clinic provides contact lens exams for new and experienced contact lens wearers. Whether you are interested in contact lenses for convenience, sports, work, or daily activities, Dr. Kirk Parker takes the time to carefully evaluate your eyes and recommend options tailored to your lifestyle and visual needs.
What Is a Contact Lens Exam?
A contact lens exam includes additional testing beyond a glasses prescription exam. Because contact lenses sit directly on the surface of the eye, proper fit and lens measurements are important for maintaining comfort, clear vision, and healthy eyes.
During your exam, our Portland optometrist evaluates the shape of your cornea, tear film quality, eye surface health, and how lenses fit and move on your eyes. These measurements help determine which contact lenses may provide the best fit and performance.
Finding the Right Lens for Your Lifestyle
Every patient has different visual demands, preferences, and wear habits. Cedar Hills Vision Clinic offers a variety of contact lens options so we can recommend lenses designed around your daily routine and eye health needs.
- Daily Disposable Contact Lenses: Daily disposable lenses provide convenience and comfort without the need for nightly cleaning and storage.
- Monthly Contact Lenses: Monthly contact lenses offer a reusable option for patients who prefer longer-term wear schedules, with a proper cleaning and maintenance routine.
- Multifocal Contact Lenses: Multifocal contact lenses help patients see clearly at multiple distances, supporting both near and distance vision throughout the day.
Why Routine Contact Lens Exams Matter
Even comfortable contact lenses should be evaluated regularly to help protect your eyes' health. Changes in prescription, tear quality, eye surface health, and lens fit can all affect how your contact lenses perform and feel throughout the day.
Routine contact lens exams allow our team to monitor for irritation, dryness, inflammation, and other issues that may develop gradually with lens wear. Annual evaluations also help ensure your prescription remains accurate and your lenses continue providing the clear, comfortable vision you expect.
Patients who experience dry eye symptoms, fluctuating vision, redness, or contact lens discomfort may benefit from updated lens recommendations or additional testing to improve comfort and support long-term ocular health.
Scleral Lens Follow-Up Care
