A member asked:
Could you tell me what happens at a first contact lens exam?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Alot of things: First lens exam includes a thorough evaluation of your eyes and a very detailed measurement of your prescription, it includes measuring the shape of your cornea then your doctor may have you try different types of lenses for fit. Then they will want you to come back to see if you can tolerate the lens well.
