Contact Lens Exam

Learn More

At Luxe Eye and Wellness, we use advanced digital retinal imaging to evaluate the health of your eyes without the need for traditional dilation drops. Our optometry office in Old Town Alexandria offers Optomap wide angle retinal imaging, which captures a detailed view of the retina in seconds. This technology allows our doctors to screen for retinal conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and retinal tears while minimizing discomfort and avoiding the side effects of dilation. The imaging process lets patients see the back of their eyes just as the doctor does and is safe for children, adults, and pregnant patients seeking comprehensive eye exams in Alexandria VA.

A contact lens exam begins with a comprehensive eye exam to assess your overall eye health, including tests for vision, eye focusing, depth perception, and eye pressure. Your doctor will discuss your contact lens preferences, such as color, wear type (daily, weekly or monthly) and options for age-related vision changes and astigmatism.

Next, your Optometrist will take precise measurements of your cornea and pupil size for a proper fit. If you have dry eyes, a tear film evaluation may be done to ensure contact lenses are a suitable option.

Finally, a trial pair of lenses will be fitted and tested for comfort and proper alignment. After wearing them for a week, you have the option to return for a follow-up exam to confirm the fit and prescription.
