A contact lens exam is different from a routine eye exam because contact lenses sit directly on the surface of your eye. This requires more detailed measurements to ensure your lenses fit properly and feel comfortable throughout the day.
At Lappen Eye Care, our Pittsburgh eye doctors take a personalized approach to contact lens exams. Our goal is to provide clear vision while protecting the health of your eyes, so your lenses work as well as they should without causing irritation or discomfort.
With four convenient locations across the Pittsburgh region, we make it easy to access consistent, high-quality eye care wherever you are.
For more than 40 years, Lappen Eye Care has served families across the Pittsburgh region with a focus on personalized care.
The right contact lenses depend on more than your prescription. We consider how you use your vision each day, from the time you spend on digital devices to your work environment, and hobbies.
Whether you are new to contact lenses or have worn them for years, we take the time to understand your needs and recommend options that fit your routine. For patients who have struggled with discomfort or have been told they are difficult to fit, we offer advanced solutions designed to improve comfort and clarity.
Your contact lens exam is designed to evaluate how your eyes function and determine which lenses will provide the best combination of comfort and performance. We use a series of measurements and assessments to ensure your lenses fit properly and support your long-term eye health.
We measure the shape and curvature of your cornea to ensure your lenses sit correctly on your eye. A precise fit is essential for both clear vision and long-term comfort.
Your tear film plays an important role in how comfortable your lenses feel. We evaluate tear quality and stability to determine which lens materials will work best for you.
When appropriate, we provide trial lenses so you can experience how they feel and perform. This allows us to make adjustments and ensure your lenses are the right fit.
We fine-tune your prescription based on how the lenses sit and move on your eye, ensuring clear, consistent vision at all distances.
We offer a wide range of contact lens options to match your vision needs and daily routine. From daily disposable lenses to monthly wear, multifocal designs, and toric lenses for astigmatism, your options are tailored to how you live and what feels most comfortable for your eyes.
For patients with more complex needs, we also offer specialty contact lenses designed to improve vision and comfort when standard lenses are not enough. Our goal is to make sure your lenses fit seamlessly into your life.
If you are new to contact lenses, our team will show you how to safely insert and remove your lenses and how to properly care for them at home.
We take the time to make sure you feel comfortable and confident before you leave the eye clinic. With the right support, most patients adjust quickly and enjoy the convenience that contact lenses provide.
