Do you do contact lens-only exams?
At Smart Eyecare, we believe in providing a thorough assessment of your ocular health first before fitting and prescribing contact lenses.

Why can I not only do contacts? Why do I need my glasses exam too?
A contact lens prescription is calculated based on a glasses prescription. These two prescriptions are not the same due to various reasons. Contact lenses are regulated by the FDA and are a Class B medical device. They require their own evaluation to provide the most optimal fitting relationship between your eyes and the contact lens itself. This fitting allows the optometrist to determine the appropriate size, base, curve, tear exchange, and tightness of the contacts for each eye. Every patient’s eyes are different, and there are several different contact lens brands, each with a variety of contacts to choose from. With a thorough eye examination and tailored glasses prescription, we will provide the healthiest fit for you.
