Contact Lens Exam

Have you grown tired of wearing eyeglasses? If so, it is time to schedule a contact lens exam with Colorado River Eye Care. Reach out to us today at (928) 758-2020 to schedule your contact lens exam. We will walk you through the basics of contact lenses so you understand exactly what is necessary in terms of cleaning, replacement and frequency of use. The contact lens exam determines much more than the prescription for the contact lenses. Our exam for contact lenses also gauges the health of your eyes in addition to your quality of vision.

We will determine if any eye issues have the potential to interfere with the contact lenses’ comfort or clarity. If it is determined you have an eye condition such as dry eye syndrome or astigmatism, our eye doctor might provide specialized recommendations in terms of contact lens type. Those age 40 and up who are struggling to see small print might require bifocals to view close objects exactly as they are. The contact lens exam will reveal whether multifocal lenses or even a combination of monovision and multifocal lenses will correct your vision. The contact lens exam also includes a measurement of the corneal curvature along the eye’s front surface. Such curvature is measured with a keratometer that ensures the contact lenses have the right curve for your unique eye.
