What is a Contact Lens Exam?

The Most Accurate Way to Wear Lenses

An eye exam and a contact lens exam are entirely different. Tear film evaluation, visual acuity testing, determining the eye prescription, and performing corneal topography when necessary are the stages of a contact lens exam required for healthy and comfortable contact lens use.

Lens Models That Can Be Worn Overnight

Depending on their brand and quality, some lenses can be worn overnight. However, even these lenses need to be removed from the eye at least once a week for cleaning and to rest the eye. First, bring the part of the lens that will touch the inside of your eye to the top, on your index finger. Press the eyelid and eyelashes upwards with your index finger and middle finger, and push the lens towards your eye; it will settle into place on its own.
