Should I schedule an exam if my contact lenses have become uncomfortable?

Yes. Contact lens discomfort is worth evaluating rather than tolerating. Comfort can change because of the fit, the lens material, the surface of your eye, your prescription, or a combination of those. Bring your current lenses or their boxes so we can review what you have been wearing.

What happens during a specialty contact lens evaluation?

Dr. Pham examines the surface and shape of your eyes, reviews your prescription and your wearing history, and discusses which lens designs may suit your eyes. Specialty fittings often involve more than one visit, because the goal is dependable comfort and vision rather than a single trial lens.

Contact Lens Discomfort: the short answer

Contact lens discomfort is worth evaluating rather than tolerating. Comfort can change because of the lens fit, the lens material, the surface of the eye, or a prescription change, and each of those is examined differently.

What to bring

Bring your current lenses or their boxes, along with your solution. Knowing exactly what you have been wearing shortens the conversation considerably.

If you gave up on contacts

Many patients stopped wearing lenses years ago and assume the option is closed. It often is not. Specialty designs exist for eyes that standard lenses did not suit.
