Deciding to get contact lenses is a big decision, and you might be a little nervous about what will happen at your eye care appointment. To help ease the anxiety, our team at Manufacturer Direct Eyewear in Deerfield Beach would like to look at what to expect during your visit.

Eye Exam

Before anything else can be done, you will need an eye exam. Our eye doctor cannot prescribe contacts until we have specific details, such as the prescription of each eye and even whether you are a good candidate for contacts.

Options and Preferences Discussion

Next, our optometrist will talk to you about the options available. You will discuss each one and pick the option you think suits you. These options typically include lenses you change daily, weekly, and monthly. If you have astigmatism or another condition, you might need specialty contact lenses.

Measurements

Our eye doctor needs to order contacts that will fit your eye correctly and do their job. To do this, we will need to take measurements of your eyes. This includes measuring the curve, pupil, iris, and diameter. We also need to measure your tear production to ensure that your eyes will keep your lenses moist.

Guidance

Typically, you will receive a trial pair of contact lenses that will need to be ordered. When you get them, our eye doctor will show you how to put them in and teach you how to take care of them. You will have the opportunity to ask questions.

Scheduling

You will need to schedule a follow-up optometry appointment. This is so that the optometrist can determine if the trial lenses fit properly and order more.
