What is the difference between a contact lens exam, contact lens teach and contact lens fitting?

Depending on if you’ve worn contact lenses before or not will depend on what you’ll need! ⠀

⠀

🧑‍⚕️ Contact lens exam – If you need to have both your routine eye exam and have your contact lenses updated, a lens exam will be conducted to ensure the prescription is still right for them.⠀

🧑‍💼Contact lens fitting – If you’ve worn contact lenses before, but stopped for some time and want to wear them again, then you may need a contact lens fitting. If you already have an up-to-date glasses prescription, we skip the fitting and fit you with the contact lenses based on that.⠀

🧑‍🏫 Contact lens teach – This is a separate appointment for anyone new to contact lenses. During the teach, our doctors will take the time to show you how to safely and properly use and care for your lenses.
