Contact Lens Exams in Glenview, IL
Advanced Eye Testing and Lens Fitting for Clearer Vision
Clear vision and comfortable contact lens wear begin with a thorough contact lens exam in Glenview, IL. At Rosley Eyecare & Associates, we provide specialized exams designed to evaluate your eye health, determine the right prescription, and ensure your lenses fit properly.
Unlike a routine eye exam, an eye exam for contact lenses includes additional testing and measurements to assess the shape of your cornea and the health of your eyes. During your visit, our optometrist will perform a detailed contact lens consultation and recommend the best lenses based on your vision needs, lifestyle, and comfort.
Whether you are trying contact lenses for the first time or updating your prescription, our team provides personalized lens fitting to help you achieve clear, comfortable vision throughout the day.
Types of Contact Lenses We Offer
During your contact lens evaluation, our optometrist will assess several lens options to determine which lenses best fit your eyes.
Common types of lenses include:
Soft Contact Lenses
These are the most common lenses and are designed for comfort and convenience. Soft lenses are available in daily, biweekly, and monthly replacement options.
Multifocal and Bifocal Lenses
These lenses help patients with presbyopia see clearly at multiple distances without the need for reading glasses.
Toric Lenses for Astigmatism
Patients with astigmatism may benefit from specially designed lenses that correct the irregular curvature of the eye.
Specialty Contact Lenses
For certain eye conditions, a specialty contact lens evaluation may be recommended for more complex vision needs. Specialty lenses such as scleral lenses can help patients with corneal conditions like keratoconus.
Our team also evaluates options for fitting lenses for dry eyes and provides custom lens solutions for patients who require specialized vision correction.
