Contact Lens Exams
If you wear eyeglasses, and you are interested in switching to contact lenses, you need to have a contact lens exam with an optometrist first. Call us at Jay K. Honda O.D. in Kailua-Kona, HI, to make an appointment with an eye doctor on our optometrist team for an eye exam. An “optometrist near me” is here to help.
Your Eyes Are Measured
Contact lenses require a fitting examination. This is done by measuring the parameters of your specific eyes and checking your prescription at various distances. These measurements are necessary so that your visual needs are met and that your contact lenses fit properly after you insert them into your eyes.
Preferences Are Discussed
When your prescription is determined, Dr. Jay or Dr. Abe will discuss options with you pertaining to the type of contact lenses that would work best for you. If you wish to use colored contact lenses, that may be an option as well. You may be considering daily wear or gas permeable contact lenses. You may need specialty or medically necessary contact lenses to address more complex issues. Each has its own set of benefits and disadvantages, so be sure to discuss options with our team. The doctors will address all your options and advise you on what types of contact lenses will work best for you.
Contact Lens Care Is Provided
We will often provide you with a sample set of contact lenses prior to ordering your annual supply. If you have never worn contacts in the past, one of our staff members will take the time to instruct you on how to insert and remove them properly. You need to be aware of the cleaning practices necessary to keep your contact lenses free from debris as well. If you have difficulty with using contact lenses, be sure to let our team know so additional time is spent with you to teach you the proper procedures.
