Contact Lens Exam
Contact Lens Exam at Urban Optometry
At Urban Optometry, we believe your contact lenses should not only help you see clearly but also keep your eyes comfortable and healthy. A Contact Lens Exam is a specialized eye exam that goes beyond a standard vision test — it’s designed to ensure that contact lenses fit your eyes properly, provide clear vision, and are safe for daily use.
Our optometrists carefully measure the shape and surface of your eyes, evaluate your tear film, and determine which type of contact lenses will best suit your lifestyle. Whether you’re new to contact lenses or have worn them for years, a proper fitting and evaluation are essential for long-term eye comfort and health.
This treatment is especially beneficial for those who experience blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelid margin), dry eye syndrome, or frequent eye discomfort. Using Blephaclean as part of your eye care routine can make your eyes feel refreshed, soothed, and more comfortable throughout the day.
The Benefits of a Contact Lens Exam
A professional Contact Lens Exam at Urban Optometry offers a range of benefits that help ensure your eyes stay healthy and your lenses feel comfortable all day:
Ensures the Perfect Fit
Every eye is unique. A proper exam helps us find the right lens size and shape for your eyes so they stay comfortable and stable throughout the day.
Provides Clear, Crisp Vision
With a customized fitting, you’ll enjoy sharper, more consistent vision without the blurriness or glare that can come from poorly fitted lenses.
Personalized Lens Options
We help you find the best lenses for your needs — whether daily, bi-weekly, or monthly disposables, or even specialty lenses for astigmatism or presbyopia.
Protects Eye Health
Our optometrists check for dryness, redness, and oxygen flow to ensure your eyes remain healthy and free of irritation or infection.
Improves Comfort and Confidence
The right contact lenses make a big difference in how your eyes feel. You’ll experience less dryness and enjoy the freedom of clear, natural vision without glasses.

Who Are Good Candidates for a Contact Lens Exam
You may be an excellent candidate for a Contact Lens Exam if you’re interested in replacing your glasses with contact lenses or want to ensure your current lenses are still the right fit.

Even if you’ve worn contacts before, changes in your eyes over time mean your prescription or lens type may need updating. At Urban Optometry, our skilled team provides personalized evaluations for both new and returning wearers, ensuring every patient enjoys clear, comfortable, and healthy vision.
