Visual Health Doctors of Optometry has been offering contact lenses exam in Fairfax, VA, since 2006. As a patient, you can rest assured that you are receiving high-quality eye care from eye doctors with extensive training and experience in vision correction. Most people can wear contact lenses without any problems, but not everyone is a good candidate. Our highly-qualified optometrists have the expertise to determine whose eyes are suitable for contacts and whose are not.
While you could order inexpensive contacts online – outside of an optometrist’s office – be aware that doing so comes with risks including low-quality products, a one-size-fits-all mentality for care, and even damage to the health of your eye. So if you value your vision and want your eyes to last your lifetime, a contact lens exam from our experienced optometrist ensures you are getting highly-personalized care for the most comfort, optimal vision, and quality of life.
A routine eye exam doesn’t include many of the measurements and testing that are necessary to determine if your eyes are suitable for contact lens wear or the nature of your own precise prescription. For example, if the curvature of your contact lens is too flat or too steep for your eye’s shape, you could experience discomfort or even long-term damage to your eye. Our experienced optometrist uses a diagnostic instrument called a keratometer to take the appropriate measurements of your eye’s clear front surface or cornea.
