Contact Lens Exams in Oscoda, Michigan
A contact lens exam is a little different from a routine eye exam. In addition to checking your vision, it focuses on finding lenses that fit your eyes comfortably and provide clear vision throughout the day.
What Is a Contact Lens Exam?
Contact lenses sit directly on the surface of your eyes, so getting the right fit is important. A contact lens exam includes additional measurements and evaluations to make sure your lenses fit properly and support your eye health.
During the exam, our Oscoda eye doctor will assess the shape of your eyes, how your tear film supports lens wear, and how the lenses move and feel once they’re in place. This helps her determine which type of lenses will work best for you and ensures a comfortable, effective fit.
From medical treatments to your annual eye exam, we provide a wide range of services at Oscoda Optics.

- Measurements and Eye Evaluation: She starts by taking detailed measurements of your eyes and reviewing your vision needs. This helps her determine which types of contact lenses may be the best fit for you.
- Trying on Trial Lenses: Next, we’ll have you try on a pair of trial lenses. This gives you the chance to see how they feel and how clearly you can see in real time.
- Fit and Comfort Check: Once the lenses are in place, Dr. Alda checks how they sit on your eyes and how they move when you blink.
