Thorough contact lens examinations

A contact lens exam at Mike Cees Opticians is very similar to the standard eye exam, with a few exceptions. Contact lens exams include a few special tests to ensure your contact lenses fit correctly, are comfortable and provide the proper clarity of vision. They allow us to take a close look at the health of your eyes and the quality of your vision. It is important to make sure your lenses fit both your eyes and your vision properly. In addition to a comprehensive eye exam, a contact lens examination will also involve a contact lens fitting. Getting the right start with your contact lenses involves going to an eye care professional who provides a comprehensive service. Contact lenses are considered prescription devices, just like pharmaceuticals. Therefore, they must be prescribed and properly fitted by an eye care professional.

Contact lenses are medical devices, therefor you need a contact lens prescription in order to buy them. Your optician is required to make sure that your vision examination for your contact lens prescription involves finding the right fit for your lenses. A contact lens fitting involves both a consultation and measurement. Our optician will ask you about your lifestyle and preferences. Some contact lenses may be better for athletes with active lifestyles, for instance; others may be better for frequent travellers who may need to occasionally sleep with their contacts in. You can choose from fashionable colour contact lenses or disposable contacts.
