Why Your Contact Lens Fit Matters
Fit is crucial for the performance and comfort of your lens. When your contact lenses have a poor fit, they can cause blurry vision and even harm your eyes.
Standard contact lenses rest on the cornea, which is the clear front part of the eye. If the cornea is damaged or deprived of moisture, sensitivity can decrease.
Corneal sensitivity plays an important role in eye health. For example, the corneal nerves stimulate tears to wet the eye in response to dryness. Over time, a poor fit or overwearing your lenses can contribute to dry eye.
Fit matters because it can significantly impact how your eyes feel and how comfortably you can see.
Do You Need Specialty Contact Lenses?
There are many possible reasons that specialty contact lenses may improve your contact lens experience. For individuals with dry eye, for example, specialty scleral lenses may improve their symptoms by protecting their eyes from tear evaporation and keeping the eye moist.
A poor fit can also impact visual comfort. Patients with astigmatism have mismatched cornea curves. If the lens slips out of place, the prescription isn’t lined up with the curves. A toric lens helps the lens stay in the correct position to improve vision accurately.
Children may also benefit from specialty contact lenses, particularly multifocal soft contact lenses designed for myopia management. Contact lenses can help your child pursue an active lifestyle, keep their vision clear, and slow the progression of their nearsightedness.
Your Contact Lens Exam and Fitting
There are many variables to consider when receiving contact lenses. Vision correction is a crucial consideration, but only part of the bigger picture. Your lenses should work with your lifestyle as well as your prescription needs. We help you find your fit, so you can feel confident about your lenses.
Dr. Simms has years of experience fitting multiple lens types, including multifocal, toric (for astigmatism), hyper-oxygen lenses, rigid gas-permeable, scleral, and hybrid lens designs. We also offer custom-fitted, specialty lenses. Whatever your needs, we want to help you find a lens fit for your vision and eye care needs.
Contact lens examinations, like eye exams, are an in-depth assessment of your eye health and prescription. Our techniques and technology can help us detect and manage eye diseases and conditions. Analyzing eye health is crucial for determining if lenses may be appropriate for you.
The tests we perform also help us narrow down your lens selection. Then, we discuss your vision and lifestyle to determine what type of lens or replacement schedule works for you.
With digital and technology-driven evaluations, we can design lenses with personalized features.
Your lenses rest on the front of the eye, so we need to know precise measurements to help ensure the fit is comfortable and positioned to provide accurate vision correction. We use corneal topography to map the cornea. The photography technique creates a 3D image with details about the curve and shape of each of your eyes.
The custom measurements are then used to manufacture your contact lens.
Custom measurements help us get a precise fit, but we still need you to try your lenses. Like trying different shoes in the same size, sometimes slight differences can impact your comfort. So we provide a trial pair with your custom fit so you can see for yourself how the lenses feel and function.
Once you’ve had time to wear your lenses outside our office, we can discuss your experience and evaluate your eye health to assess the fit. We will adjust the fit (when modifications are needed) based on your feedback and additional measurements. After we’ve found a pair fit for you, we will order your new lenses.
