In order to get a new prescription for contact lenses, it is important that you have a complete contact lens exam and fitting. This eye exam will not only test your visual acuity and eye health, but it will also make sure that you get contact lenses in Northglenn CO that fit your eyes correctly. As part of the eye exam, your eyes will be tested for any type of refractive error correction they may need; whether you have astigmatism, nearsightedness or farsightedness you can now have your vision completely corrected using contact lenses. Even patients with dry eye are able to now safely and comfortably wear contact lenses. As part of the contact lens exam and fitting, your eyes will also be thoroughly screened for many different eye diseases and disorders including: cataracts; glaucoma; macular degeneration; diabetic retinopathy; retinal tears; dry eyes; and other problems of the cornea, macula, and retina. Also, our eye doctor will measure the curvature of the cornea and the size of your iris to make sure that your new contact lenses will fit your eyes just right. It is important that contact lenses fit your eyes to a tee, or else the cornea can become irritated and even permanently damaged by wearing contact lenses which do not fit your eyes properly. Our optometrist will also let you know which type of contact lens will work best for you. She will also discuss with you the different styles of soft contact lenses which are available which include daily wear lenses, extended wear lenses, disposable lenses, and color-changing lenses.
