The Purpose of a Contact Lens Prescription

Contact lenses are medical devices worn on the eye, and their prescriptions differ from those for eyeglasses. Both help your vision, but contact lenses need to fit your eye's shape. This requires special measurements and fittings.

A contact lens prescription typically contains the following measurements and information:

• Corrections required for each eye
• Lens base curve to match corneal shape
• Lens diameter to fit safely and comfortably
• Lens material or brand that suits the patient's vision and lifestyle
• Wearing schedule and replacement guidelines.

These details help your lenses fit comfortably so you can wear them for long periods without discomfort. They provide a clear vision at all distances. A professional prescription keeps your contact lens use safe and reliable, whether you’re new to contacts or have used them for years.

Evaluation of the Contact Lens

At Eagle's Nest Eye Clinic, your contact lens prescription starts with a special exam, not just a regular eye check. Our exam includes these steps:

We calculate the correct contact lens power for each eye based on your vision at every distance. Contact lens prescriptions are often different from those for glasses. This is determined during your contact lens fitting exam.

• Specific Measurements of the Cornea

The cornea is the clear front part of your eye where the lens sits. We measure its shape and size to make sure your lens fits well. Lenses that do not fit can cause discomfort or blurry vision.

• Tear Film Evaluation

You need enough moisture in your eyes for contact lenses to feel comfortable. If you have dry eyes or produce few tears, you may need a special lens to stay comfortable all day.

• Evaluation of Ocular Health

Since contact lenses sit directly on your eyes, we check your eye health to make sure you can wear them safely and comfortably every day.

These steps help us find the best prescription and lens type for you. Careful attention to safety prevents problems with old or poorly fitting lenses.
