  • yes ,the contact lens exam is just an eye exam plus contact fitting. Since you have done the regular eye exam ,the same part will not be repeated and you just need to test the parameters of the lenses required for you.

  • The price varies from place to place .what I know In New York City is: Contact Lens exam: $125(sperical Rx) - $ 175(astigmatic Rx, gas permeable lenses , etc) Eye Exam : $75 Emergency visit : $55 VF/DFE/Fundus Photos: $20 each.

  • Whether you use the contacts to correct your vision or just for cosmetic purposes, you should go to your eye doctor to have an exam which can fit you properly. Because different people have different shape of eyes. If you buy the wrong size, it may cause eye problem. So you'd better not buy them online without an exam.

  • Yes, you may state that you use this prescription for contact lenses defore the eye exam. Actually, there is no difference in prescription of eyeglasses and contact lenses, except for the base curve power which determines by the size of your eyes. You cannot directly use the prescription for eyeglasses to buy contact lenses. The power for eyeglasses is stronger than that of contact lenses, for it is placed at 12mm from your eyes while contact lenses placed directly on your cornea.

  • That depends on you. If you don't need the fitting, then you can choose not to pay for it. If they insist on, you can leave there and go for another doctor.

  • Yes. An contact exam is different from that of glasses exam. Apart from the regular eye exam, during an contact exam, the doctor will use a kerameter to measure the surface and curvature of your eyeball. The doctor will also ask some questions about your lifestyle and preferences so that he can determine which type of contact lenses will suit you best.

  • Such an obvious thing may not be that obvious to everyone after all. Contact lenses can and should be worn with sunglasses. As the contact lenses fix the vision, power is no longer needed in sunglasses. There is no problem in ”wearing two pair of glasses on top of each other” as some people see it. I may ask from those wondering this issue if contact lenses are bothering you when you look through the wind shield of your car while driving? Maybe the comparison is not the best one, but it well illustrates that there is no problem in wearing both sunglasses and contact lenses. With contact lenses, many people can for the first time freely select their sunglasses. You don’t need to think what kind of frames your lenses are suitable for.

  • Yeah. You do need an eye exam when you get new contacts.The prescription is not always the same and it's valid only for some specific period of time. So don't worry they don't try to rip you off.
