Contact lenses are an excellent alternative to contacts for a few reasons. Contacts will give you a more natural appearance without an eyeglass frame on your face. In addition, you don't have to worry about your vision being obstructed by the eyeglass frame or dirty lenses. Finally, contacts are more convenient than sports goggles if you are an athlete. If you are thinking about getting contacts, you will need to schedule a contact lens fitting with Vision 3 Specialists in San Antonio, TX. Before you schedule an exam, you should know what to expect during a contact lens fitting.

Contact Lens Exam

During the fitting, our ophthalmologist will need to examine and measure your eyes so we can fit you with the appropriate size contacts. You need to wear the right size contacts to ensure perfect vision.

Discuss Your Lifestyle

Our eye doctor will want to know a bit about your lifestyle to help you choose the contacts that will be the best for you. There are several types of soft lenses available, including:

  • Daily lenses
  • Weekly lenses
  • Bi-weekly lenses
  • Monthly lenses

Extended wear lenses can be worn for 30 days straight without removal

Our eye doctor can help you choose the lenses that will work best with your lifestyle.

Contact Lens Instruction

Our eye doctor will give you a trial pair of lenses to wear for a couple of weeks to ensure they are comfortable and you can see clearly. We can also instruct you in inserting, removing, and caring for your lenses. We will work with you until you are comfortable doing these things on your own.

Scheduling the Follow-up

Before you leave the office, your eye doctor will have you schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure the trial lenses are working for you. If you like your lenses, you can order your supply before leaving the office. If the contacts aren't comfortable or you can't see clearly, your eye doctor can make the necessary adjustments and will give you another trial pair of lenses to wear for two weeks.
