Contact Lens Exams in Libertyville, IL
Comfort starts with the right fit
What Happens in a Contact Lens Exam
A contact lens exam is different than a standard eye exam. It looks closely at how your eyes focus, how your tears keep the surface hydrated, and what lens design will give you the most comfort.
We measure the curvature of your cornea, evaluate your tear film, and talk about how you plan to use your lenses, whether that’s for work, school, sports, or everyday convenience. The goal is simple: lenses that feel natural, stay stable, and help you see clearly from morning to night.
Tear Film Evaluation
Healthy tears are essential for comfortable contact lens wear. We assess the quality and stability of your tear film to determine whether dryness is contributing to discomfort and to help determine which lens materials will work best for your eyes.
Corneal Measurements
Every cornea has a unique shape, and your lenses should match it. Using precise measurements (such as corneal curvature and topography), we select lens designs that fit securely and provide crisp, reliable vision without slipping or irritation.
Trial Lens Fitting
We place a pair of trial contacts on your eyes during the exam so you can experience how they feel right away. This helps us confirm fit, comfort, and clarity before ordering your full supply.
New Wearer Training
If you’re new to contacts, don’t worry; we’ll walk you through everything step by step. Our team teaches you how to insert and remove your lenses, clean and store them properly (if needed), and build healthy habits that keep your eyes safe and comfortable. We take our time, answer every question, and make sure you feel confident before you bring your contacts home.
Lens Options Based on Fit
Once we understand exactly what your eyes need, we’ll recommend lenses that match your vision, comfort level, and lifestyle. Depending on your exam results, you may be a great candidate for:
-
Daily disposable contacts for easy, hygienic wear
-
Bifocal or multifocal lenses for clear vision at all distances
-
Toric lenses designed specifically for astigmatism
-
Ortho-k lenses for nighttime wear and daytime freedom
Your eye doctor will explain the benefits of each option in simple, easy-to-understand language and help you choose what feels right for you.
Great vision deserves a great fit
