Contact Lens Exams in Scottsdale & Phoenix

More Than a Standard Exam

What Is a Contact Lens Exam?

A contact lens exam goes beyond a routine eye exam because it focuses specifically on how lenses interact with your eyes. While a standard exam checks your vision and eye health, a contact lens exam evaluates the additional factors that determine whether lenses will feel comfortable and function properly.

Our Scottsdale eye doctors assess the shape of your cornea, the stability of your tear film, and how your eyes respond to different lens designs. These details allow us to recommend lenses that are tailored to your eyes, so you experience clear, stable vision without irritation or inconsistency.

What a Contact Lens Exam Includes at NuVision Centers

A successful contact lens fit depends on more than just your prescription. We take a detailed look at how your eyes function. During your contact lens exam, we evaluate:

  • The shape and curvature of your cornea to ensure the right lens fit
  • Your tear film quality, which plays a key role in comfort and wear time
  • The health of your eye surface to prevent irritation or complications
  • How the lens moves and settles on your eye
  • The clarity and stability of your vision throughout wear

This thorough evaluation allows us to match you with lenses that feel natural, rather than something you have to “get used to.”

Mapping Your Eyes for Better Results

The difference between contact lenses that feel average and ones that feel effortless often comes down to precision. At NuVision Centers, we use advanced technology like the Oculus Keratograph topographer to map the surface of your eye in detail.

This technology allows us to identify subtle irregularities that standard exams may miss. It’s especially valuable for patients who have struggled with lenses in the past or require more advanced solutions.

Trial Lenses for a Better Fit

Finding the right contact lenses shouldn’t be rushed. That’s why we take a practical, real-world approach, giving you the opportunity to try your lenses before making a final decision. Comfort and performance can feel different throughout the day, and your feedback plays an important role in getting it right.

If you’ve been told you’re not a candidate for contact lenses, there may still be options available. Some eyes require a more advanced approach, especially in cases of dry eye, keratoconus, or irregular corneal shape.

We perform detailed evaluations to determine whether specialty lenses may be a better fit. These lenses are designed to work with the unique structure of your eye, providing improved comfort and clearer, more stable vision for patients who haven’t had success with traditional lenses.
