Contact lens exams and fittings in Chico

When you have vision problems and are not a fan of eyeglasses, you might want to consider getting Chico contact lenses instead. Prescription contact lenses can provide you with the clear vision you need without changing your appearance. If you’re interested in contact lenses, you’ll need to get a comprehensive eye exam and then a contact lens exam and fitting.

If you’re considering getting contact lenses, there are certain prerequisites. First, an experienced optometrist, like one of ours at Enterprise Optometry Group will need to do a comprehensive eye exam to rule out any eye diseases and/or conditions & determine if your eyes are healthy enough for Chico contact lenses. If your comprehensive eye exam goes well your eye doctor will need to do a contact lens exam and fitting. This is done to ensure that you get the right contacts for you and that they fit properly. Your contact lenses need to fit well, provide comfort, clear vision, meet your personal needs and need to be in alignment with your lifestyle. There are many different types of contacts to choose from which include: hard contacts, soft contacts, daily wear & extended wear contacts. When selecting them, certain factors need to be taken into consideration such as: whether or not you play sports; if you would like to completely eliminate the use of eyeglasses and whether or not you have a busy lifestyle. Once the type of contacts is chosen, your cornea will need to be measured and examined since they are placed directly on top of it. It’s very important that the contact lenses fit your cornea shape and size well and that they also provide you with clear vision. Your professional optometrist will try different lenses by placing them in your eyes to ensure that your contacts provide you with the best comfort, vision clarity & proper fit for you.
