Contact Lens Exams
Many people choose contact lenses over glasses for their convenience and natural appearance. To find the right contact lenses for your eyes, the first step is to schedule a contact lens exam. At Lighthouse Vision, we offer contact lens exams in New Haven County to help you find the best contact lens type for your eyes and prescription.
Contact Exams vs. a Routine Exam
While a comprehensive eye exam can assess your vision and overall eye health, a contact lens eye exam is designed to determine the best contact lenses for your needs. Our contact lens exams in Milford include tests outside of a routine exam. If you are interested in contact lenses, please let us know when scheduling your appointment so we are prepared.
Contact lens tests will assess a variety of factors to enable us to prescribe the best contact lenses for your needs. During your contact eye exam, Dr. Dincher will check your vision to determine your prescription. He will measure the size of your pupils and cornea. These tests help him determine the correct size and curvature for your contact lenses.
Dr. Dincher will also evaluate your overall eye health to see if you may need specialty contact lenses or other care, such as dry eye treatment, if he detects signs of dry eye. During your contact lens exam in Milford, he will get the information he needs to select the appropriate contact lenses for your unique eye health needs and vision requirements.

Contact Lens Types
There are different types of contact lenses, and we have options to suit your prescription and lifestyle.
Soft contact lenses are the most common type of contact lenses, and they are frequently prescribed. Many people find soft contact lenses to be comfortable and easy to get used to wearing for vision correction. There are different soft contact lens wear schedules or modalities, and Dr. Dincher will prescribe the best contact lens type and modality for your lifestyle and visual needs.
Contact Lens Exam Follow-Up
In some cases, after wearing your new contact lenses for some time, you may find that they are not as comfortable as you originally thought. If this is the case, we may ask you to schedule a follow-up contact lens appointment to address any concerns or questions you may have. During this visit, Dr. Dincher will reevaluate the fit of your lenses and make any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal comfort and vision.
