What Happens During a Contact Lens Fitting and Evaluation

At Janidlo Optometry, we believe contact lenses should do more than correct your vision - they should fit comfortably, support your eye health, and work with your daily routine. During a contact lens fitting and evaluation, Dr. Heather Janidlo takes a closer look at your eyes, your prescription, and your lifestyle so we can recommend lenses that are right for you.

We Start with Your Vision And Eye Health

Before we recommend contact lenses, we review your vision and evaluate the health of your eyes. This step helps us understand your prescription and identify any concerns that could affect lens wear, such as dryness, irritation, or other eye health issues. Our goal is to make sure contact lenses are a safe and comfortable option for you.

We Measure Your Eyes Carefully

A contact lens fitting is different from a standard vision exam because the lenses must match the shape and needs of your eyes. During your fitting, we take measurements to evaluate the curvature of your cornea and other details that help determine the right lens design. Dr. Janidlo uses this information to help find lenses that fit properly and provide stable, clear vision.

Recommending Lenses Based On Your Needs

Not every patient needs the same type of contact lens. We consider your prescription, comfort, lifestyle, and visual demands when choosing a lens option. Depending on your needs, we may recommend daily lenses, monthly lenses, toric lenses for astigmatism, multifocal lenses, or specialty contact lenses. We want your lenses to feel natural and perform well throughout your day.

What Your Contact Lens Evaluation May Include

During your appointment, we may:

• Review your prescription and eye health
• Measure your eyes for proper lens fit
• Have you try trial lenses
• Check lens movement and overall comfort
• Teach you how to insert, remove, and care for your lenses
• Schedule follow-up care if needed

We Check Comfort, Fit, and Lens Care

If trial lenses are used during your visit, we evaluate how they sit on your eyes, how they move when you blink, and how clearly you see with them. We also make sure you understand how to wear and care for your contacts correctly. At Janidlo Optometry, Dr. Janidlo takes a personalized approach so we can help you enjoy clear vision with lenses that fit your eyes and your life.
