How Often Should You Get a Contact Lens Exam?
Dr. Melissa McCulley • January 9, 2023
The process for getting contact lenses differs from glasses. While you can get your glasses during a comprehensive eye exam, you need a contact lens exam for contacts. You need regular contact lens exams, but how often are these exams necessary?
Continue reading to learn more about contact lens exams, including how often you should have one and what to expect.
What Is a Contact Lens Exam?
A contact lens exam is how your eye doctor helps find the right contact lenses for your vision needs. You need this specialized eye exam because contacts are medical devices that sit directly on the eye. It’s imperative they fit well.
Your optometrist uses this exam to test how well you can see, measure and examine your eyes, and recommend contact lenses based on their findings. The prescription your eye doctor writes will differ slightly from your glasses prescription.
Your Contact Lens Prescription Explained
Many people assume glasses and contact lens prescriptions are the same. However, they have different lens powers, and you can’t use an eyeglass prescription for contact lenses.
Your glasses sit further away from the eye than contact lenses, while contacts rest directly on the eye. This difference means your contact lens prescription requires a different lens power to help you see clearly.
Your contact lens prescription has extra specifications determined by the measurements your optometrist takes during your exam. These measurements ensure a comfortable fit for your lenses.
How Often Should You Have a Contact Lens Exam?
You’ll need a contact lens exam every year if you wear contacts. Your contact lens prescription generally lasts for one year, and you need an additional exam to renew it so you can refill your lens order.
Contact lenses introduce more risks to your eyes than glasses, so your eye doctor needs these exams to look for potential problems or changes in your vision.
What Happens During Your Contact Lens Exam?
Your contact lens exam and fitting are similar to a comprehensive eye exam, except it features a few extra steps. Your eye doctor needs to determine the right contacts for your needs and what size of lenses you require.
Your contact lens exam includes patient history, eye measurements, tear film evaluation, and a trial period afterward.
Patient History
Similar to your regular eye exam, a contact lens exam includes a discussion with your optometrist. They’ll ask you several questions about your medical history, including family history, lifestyle, work and home life, and your previous experiences with contact lenses.
These questions help your optometrist learn how your eyes will handle contact lenses and what lenses may be ideal for your vision needs.
Eye Measurements
Contact lenses differ from glasses because they require several eye measurements to find the proper fit. They need these measurements due to the risk of complications associated with poorly fitted contact lenses. Contacts can hold too tight or loose, causing potential damage and further complications.
During your contact lens exam, your eye doctor measures your cornea to determine the right size and curve for your contact lenses. These measurements can also identify any irregularities in the eye caused by astigmatism. Additionally, pupil and iris measurements help your eye doctor find the ideal contact lenses for your needs.
Tear Film Evaluation
A tear film evaluation is another essential aspect of your contact lens exam. Your tear film consists of 3 layers (mucus, water, and oil) that hydrate and protect your eye’s surface, creating the tears that spread across the eye when you blink. Each layer of the tear film has a different purpose.
The mucus layer helps tears spread evenly across the eye and keeps them fastened to the eye’s surface. The water layer helps moisten and protect the eye from bacteria and debris. The oil layer prevents tears from evaporating too quickly.
The tear film is crucial when fitting contact lenses. Issues with your tear film can make contact lenses difficult or uncomfortable to wear and can worsen dry eyes. Your eye doctor will assess your tear film to see if your eyes will stay hydrated when wearing contacts.
Trial Period
After completing their examination, your eye doctor will recommend the contact lenses they feel best meet your vision needs. You don’t need to commit to these lenses right away—you’ll receive a pair of trial lenses to see how they fit and give you a chance to get used to them before committing.
After the trial period ends, you’ll have a follow-up appointment or phone call to assess how your contacts are working for you. Additionally, our expert staff will teach you to insert and remove your lenses and maintain them to avoid potential infections and damage.
Find the Right Contact Lenses for Your Needs
Contact lenses can provide clear and comfortable vision, but they require regular eye exams to ensure your eyes stay clear, happy, and healthy. Your eye doctor can help determine the right lenses for your needs and track any changes to your prescription.
Remember to book your contact lens exam every year, and you can enjoy wearing your lenses. Contact your optometrist at McCulley Optix Gallery when it’s time for your next contact lens exam.

Just this morning I was thinking about the first “REAL” pair of sunglasses I ever bought myself. It was 2003, I had been working as an optometrist in Minneapolis for just over a year, finally making an adult income. And it was summer. AND it was the type of day that I felt like I deserved to treat myself to something. So I popped into a cute optical in Uptown to visit my friend, Jason. I tried on a beautiful pair of Robert Marc sunglasses – a translucent gold color with gold mirrored lenses. And a perfect fit. It was love at first “sight”! The price….$450 – remember, this was over 20 years ago! But I splurged on myself and left with the windows open in my car and my new sunglasses keeping me cool. I still have those sunglasses! I still love them! I still even wear them on occasion. I’ve added many more to my collection, but the point of this is……many people tell me they won’t spend money on sunglasses because they lose them. I understand that accidents happen, but when you invest in fit and quality and really love your sunglasses, you treat them with pride and believe me, you won’t carelessly lose them! I believe the reason I still have those gold sunglasses is because they fit great and the lenses are polarized for the sharpest, darkest tint. If they were “drugstore” sunglasses without polarization, a good fit, or with nosepads that fall off, I’m sure I would have lost them by now. But not my prized possession favorite pair! When the mood strikes you, don’t be fearful of investing in the perfect new pair of sunglasses. When purchased at McCulley Optix Gallery, our opticians can make frame adjustments so they fit perfectly. And our prescription lenses come with a 1 year scratch warranty. We want YOU to look your best and feel your best in your new sunglasses. And to be able to fondly remember them 20 years from now.
Your eyesight changes as you get older. If you’re one of the millions of Americans who already wear glasses to correct a refractive error, this could lead to you needing more than one prescription.
Having clear vision is essential to our daily lives; for some of us, glasses are the key to achieving it. Regular eye exams can help preserve your eyesight by checking for eye diseases and conditions that don’t always show symptoms.
As you get ready in the morning, you pick out your clothes, do your hair, apply your perfume or cologne, and then add the finishing touch: your glasses. Frames aren’t just a practical accessory; they can be an extension of your style. If you’ve been wearing the same pair from last year with an outdated prescription to match, it’s time for an update.
Eyeglasses can get dirty or smudged from oily fingers, makeup, moisturizers, or dirt from everyday handling. Cloudy glasses can make it difficult to see through the lenses, which contradicts the reason for wearing glasses in the first place.
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer for how glasses should fit your face because our heads and faces are 100% unique. But there are a few certain areas to pay attention to when gauging how well a new pair of frames fit.
Categories
Most people with refractive errors wear glasses at some point. Glasses are a staple whether you’re giving your eyes a rest from contacts or they’re part of your everyday wardrobe. Today eyeglass frames are more stylish than ever, and lens technology has made modern frames sleek and lightweight. Glasses are available in 2 primary types: single-vision and multifocal lenses.
Children’s learning skills depend predominantly on their vision and how they see the world around them. Babies are not born with a complete vision—they develop it as they grow. Their vision develops rapidly in the first few months, which makes pediatric eye exams even more crucial to ensure they reach visual milestones.
As your child ages, it’s essential to understand how to take care of their vision. Learning how to care for your child’s eyes ensures their long-term ocular health and reduces their risk of developing more serious vision problems. One of the ways to prevent vision issues in the future is eyeglasses.
Let’s explore what an eye exam entails, why you may need a comprehensive eye exam, and the different factors of eye exams that may affect appointment length. Our Fargo optometrists have performed thousands of eye exams and have seen just about everything when it comes to doing them.

Planning a spooky Halloween costume? Beware of potential eye hazards!
🎃 Avoid purchasing costume contact lenses without a valid prescription—they can cause serious infections.
🎃 Tightlining your waterline with eyeliner can lead to irritation and blocked glands.
🎃 Colored eye drops for special effects may contain harmful chemicals.
Prioritize your eye health and protect your eyes this Halloween!
