Exams & Fittings for Contact Lenses in Alma
A contact lens exam is different from a routine eye exam. In addition to checking your vision, we evaluate how contact lenses fit and feel on your eyes. Our eye doctors take the time to make sure your lenses are comfortable, provide clear vision, and support your eye health.
What is a Contact Lens Exam?
Contact lenses sit directly on the surface of your eye, so they require a more detailed evaluation than glasses. During your exam, we measure the shape of your eye, assess your tear film, and determine how lenses will move and rest on your eyes. This process helps ensure your lenses fit properly and stay comfortable throughout the day.
We offer a range of services designed to support your eye health. Explore how we can help your family.

A Careful, Step-by-Step Process
Your contact lens exam includes several steps to find the right fit:
- A review of your vision and eye health
- Measurements to determine the correct lens size and shape
- A trial fitting to see how lenses feel and perform
- Guidance on how to insert, remove, and care for your lenses
Our Alma optometrists and team will walk you through each step so you feel confident and comfortable wearing your lenses.
Finding the Right Type of Contact Lens
Not all contact lenses are the same. We’ll help you choose lenses based on your prescription, lifestyle, and comfort preferences. Whether you’re looking for daily convenience, reusable lenses, or options for multiple distances, we’ll guide you toward a solution that works for you.
New to Contact Lenses?
If you’re new to contact lenses, it’s normal to have questions. We take the time to show you how to handle your lenses safely and comfortably. You’ll leave your visit knowing how to care for your lenses and what to expect as you adjust to wearing them.
Ongoing Lens Care
Regular contact lens exams are important to ensure your lenses continue to fit properly and support your overall eye health. Because contact lenses sit directly on your eyes, even small changes in shape, moisture, or vision can affect how they feel and perform.
Over time, your eyes and prescription can change, which may impact comfort or clarity. During your exam, we check for these changes and make adjustments as needed so your lenses continue to work the way they should. This helps prevent irritation, maintain consistent vision, and support long-term eye health while wearing contacts.
