Your Contact Lens Eye Exam at EyeCare Professionals of Powell
A contact lens exam is essential for anyone interested in wearing contact lenses safely and comfortably. While a regular eye exam checks your vision and eye health, a contact lens exam includes additional measurements and assessments to determine the best lens type and fit for your eyes.
At our Powell optometric clinic, a contact lens exam includes measurements of your corneal curvature, pupil size, and tear film quality, as well as an evaluation of any unique vision challenges you may have that could effect your ability to comfortably wear contacts. Your lifestyle will also be an important factor in deciding if prefer daily wear, extended wear, or other types of lenses may be best for you.
New wearers receive hands-on training on insertion, removal, and lens care. If you're already a contact lens wearer, we’ll update your prescription and ensure your current lenses are still the best fit. With our expert team and personalized approach, you’ll leave feeling confident and well-equipped to enjoy clear, comfortable vision every day.
Disposable Contacts
Disposable contact lenses are one of the most popular options for vision correction thanks to their ease of use, comfort, and hygiene. At our Powell, OH clinic, we offer a full range of disposable contacts, including daily, bi-weekly, and monthly lenses from trusted name brands.
Daily Disposable Lenses
Daily disposable lenses are perfect for patients who want the convenience of a fresh, clean pair of lenses every day without the need for cleaning or storage solutions. Simply throw out your contacts at the end of each day and start with a new pair in the morning. These are ideal for people with allergies, sensitive eyes, or those who wear contacts part-time.
Bi-weekly and Monthly Lenses
Bi-weekly and monthly lenses offer a cost-effective solution for vision correction. Though they require proper nightly cleaning and storage, they are often made from more durable materials than daily lenses, and are designed for durability and consistent performance.
Specialized Contact Lens Exams
Beyond a standard eye exam, a contact lens fitting includes precise measurements of your eye's surface, tear film evaluation, and trial lens assessments to ensure optimal comfort, vision, and eye health.
Our Recommended Products:
Bifocal and Multifocal Contacts
If you’re starting to notice difficulty reading up close or switching focus between distances, bifocal and multifocal contact lenses can help you see clearly at every range. These lenses are specially designed to address presbyopia, a common age-related condition that affects near vision beginning around age 40.
Multifocal contacts incorporate multiple prescription zones in each lens, allowing for seamless transitions from distance to near vision without needing reading glasses. Bifocal lenses offer two distinct powers—one for distance and one for near.
Available in both soft and gas permeable options, these lenses are suitable for everyday use and come in a variety of designs tailored to your needs.
Gas Permeable Contact Lenses
Gas permeable contact lenses (GP lenses) are rigid, custom-designed lenses that offer outstanding clarity and durability. Unlike soft lenses, GP lenses hold their shape on the eye, allowing for sharper and more precise vision correction, especially in patients with irregular corneas or high prescriptions. This rigid structure makes GP lenses a preferred option for individuals with keratoconus, astigmatism, or other complex refractive issues.
While there may be an initial adaptation period, many patients find that GP lenses deliver superior long-term comfort and vision once they're accustomed to them. These lenses are also highly breathable, allowing more oxygen to reach the eye’s surface.
At our Powell eye clinic, we fit gas permeable lenses and will carefully customize them to match your unique eye shape and visual needs. Whether you're a first-time GP wearer or transitioning from soft lenses, our doctors ensure a precise, comfortable fit.
Toric Contact Lenses for Astigmatism
Toric contact lenses are specially designed to correct blurred or distorted vision from astigmatism. Unlike standard lenses, toric lenses have different vision correction in different parts of the lens to align with the curvature of your eye. They also include features that prevent the lens from rotating on your eye, ensuring consistent and clear vision throughout the day. Available in daily disposables, bi-weekly, and monthly formats, toric lenses offer flexible options for every lifestyle.
Our Powell eye doctors carry a wide range of toric lenses from top brands and provide expert fittings to help you experience stable, reliable vision—every day.
