At Eye See Optique Dumfries, our contact lens exams focus on comfort, eye health, and safety so your lenses fit well and support clear vision.
Contact Lenses Matched to Your Eyes & Lifestyle
Whether you’re trying contact lenses for the first time or updating an existing prescription, we take time to understand how you use your eyes each day. During your visit, we’ll talk through your routine, screen use, work demands, and any past discomfort so your lenses feel realistic for everyday wear.
Our goal is simple: lenses that feel comfortable, provide clear vision, and support long-term eye health.
What Happens at a Contact Lens Exam at Eye See Optique Dumfries
A contact lens exam is different from a glasses exam because the lenses sit directly on the surface of your eyes. Your visit includes a comprehensive eye exam, measurements of your cornea, and an evaluation of tear quality and eye comfort.
We use this information to select lenses that fit properly, feel comfortable, and match your visual needs. Trial lenses may be used to check fit and vision before finalizing your prescription.
Supporting Comfortable, Healthy Lens Wear
Proper lens wear goes beyond the fitting. We review how long to wear your lenses, how to care for them, and what signs to watch for if something doesn’t feel right.
If you ever experience dryness, irritation, or changes in comfort, we encourage follow-up visits so adjustments can be made before small issues become bigger problems.
Contact Lenses for Myopia Management
For children and teens with progressing nearsightedness, contact lenses may be part of a structured myopia management plan. At Eye See Optique Dumfries, we offer options designed to help slow myopia progression while still providing clear, comfortable vision.
We’ll review whether contact lenses for myopia management are appropriate based on your child’s age, prescription, and daily routine, and explain what follow-up looks like so families feel confident moving forward.
When to Schedule a Contact Lens Exam
You may benefit from a contact lens exam if:
- You want to switch from glasses to contacts
- Your current contacts feel uncomfortable or dry
- Your prescription has changed
- You’re interested in contact lenses for sports or active days
- Your child or teen is exploring contact lenses as part of myopia management
