Contact Lenses for Vision Correction

If you wear contact lenses for vision correction or would like to wear them instead of glasses, vision exams are an important part of the process. Our optometrists will help you determine if contact lenses are right for you, but first, you need to know what to expect. If you live in or around Prosper, TX, and are ready to make the switch to contact, contact our team at Eye Gallery to schedule an appointment.

Eye Exams Begin with Testing Your Vision

Before one of our optometrists prescribes contact lenses, we will determine what kind of prescription you need. Your prescription is based on the refractive errors you experience, which could be due to nearsightedness or farsightedness. Our eye doctor will use a variety of tools to determine your vision correction needs.

Your Exam Will Include Checking Your Eye’s Structure

The structure of your eyes is also taken into account to determine which lenses are best for your eyes. Most people can wear corrective contact lenses, but some situations require hard-to-fit contacts. You may experience dry eyes, allergies, or another condition that makes it difficult to wear standard contact lenses. We will determine if you would benefit from soft or rigid gas permeable lenses. We will also consider which lenses are best for your lifestyle, since some people need daily, weekly, or monthly-wear lenses.
