What to Expect at Your Contact Lens Fitting

If you're ready to switch to contact lenses—or want to update your prescription—a professional fitting is key. At Athens Eye Care Center in Athens, we ensure a comfortable, safe, and customized lens experience. Our team, including Dr. Leanne Whitaker, handles everything from detailed eye exams to specialty lens fittings.

1. Comprehensive Eye Health & Vision Exam

A proper fitting starts with a full examination, including:

• Eye health check – We screen for dryness, allergies, and underlying conditions that could affect lens wear.
• Accurate prescription – We correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.
• Lifestyle assessment – We ask how you'll use your lenses (e.g., daily disposables, extended wear, or specialty tasks) to guide recommendations.

This goes beyond a standard eye checkup—it's all about your perfect lens every day.

2. Precise Fitting Measurements

Every eye is unique, so we take exact measurements:

• Corneal curvature – Using a keratometer to match the lens shape to your eye.
• Pupil & iris size – To ensure stability and centered vision.
• Tear film evaluation – To confirm your eyes stay lubricated with lens wear.

These metrics help us create a custom fit for all-day comfort.

3. Trial Lenses + Vision Testing

You'll be fitted with trial lenses—often the same day—and we’ll evaluate:

• Comfort over several hours
• Visual clarity through different activities
• How your eyes respond naturally

We adjust power, size, or material until the fit is just right.

4. Lens Training & Maintenance Tips

We train every patient on:

• Safe insertion and removal techniques
• Proper cleaning and storage routines
• Replacement schedules (daily, monthly, or specialty)

Your confidence in care equals long-term eye safety and hygiene.

5. Specialty Lenses for Unique Needs

For patients with complex vision needs, we offer:

• Toric lenses – Correct astigmatism with stable, sharp vision
• Multifocal lenses – Offer clear sight at distance and close range
• Scleral or RGP lenses – Ideal for keratoconus, severe dry eye, or post-LASIK conditions.
