Wearing contact lenses can offer freedom from glasses and enhance your lifestyle, but finding the perfect fit begins with a thorough contact lens exam. At Family Eye Care Center of Atlanta, we specialize in helping patients throughout Buckhead find comfortable, effective contact lenses that support both their vision and eye health.
 

What Is a Contact Lens Exam?

A contact lens exam is different from a standard eye exam. While a routine exam evaluates your overall vision and eye health, a contact lens exam goes a step further to ensure your lenses fit properly and match your unique visual needs. This process includes precise measurements of your cornea, tear film evaluation, and assessing your lifestyle to determine the best lens type.
 

Why Proper Fit Matters

Ill-fitting contact lenses can lead to discomfort, blurred vision, and even eye infections. Every eye is different, which is why a custom approach is essential. Our team uses advanced diagnostic tools to measure the curvature and surface of your eye, ensuring your lenses are safe, stable, and comfortable for long-term wear.
 

Types of Contact Lenses Available

At Family Eye Care Center of Atlanta, we offer a wide range of contact lens options, including:
 

• Soft contact lenses for daily, weekly, or monthly use
• Rigid gas permeable lenses for sharper vision and specific conditions
• Multifocal lenses for patients with presbyopia
• Toric lenses for astigmatism
• Scleral lenses for irregular corneas or dry eye conditions

Whether you're new to contacts or looking to upgrade your current pair, we tailor recommendations based on your vision correction needs and lifestyle.
 

What to Expect During Your Visit

During your contact lens exam in Buckhead, you’ll receive a comprehensive evaluation that includes:
 

• A review of your current vision and medical history
• Digital imaging and corneal measurements
• Trial lens fittings to assess comfort and visual clarity

Follow-up visits may be recommended to fine-tune the fit or address any issues that arise once you begin wearing your lenses.
