A contact lens is a medical device that sits directly on the eye, requiring a much higher level of precision than a standard glasses prescription. At Geaux Eyes, our contact lens fittings focus on the unique topography and health of your ocular surface. Dr. Duong performs a detailed assessment of your tear film and corneal health to ensure that your lenses provide not only sharp vision but also the long term safety and comfort your eyes deserve.

Your Path to Better-Fitting Contact Lenses
A dedicated contact lens exam helps confirm that your lenses provide consistent clarity, stay comfortable throughout the day, and align with your wear habits and lifestyle. It also gives your optometrist a chance to evaluate eye health factors that affect safe, successful wear.
Who Should Book a Contact Lens Exam?
A contact lens exam can help both new and experienced wearers. You may benefit from one if you:
- Are trying contact lenses for the first time
- Notice dryness, irritation, or blur with your current lenses
- Have had a prescription change and need updated lenses
- Play sports or have an active lifestyle that requires stable vision
- Want to explore other lens types for better comfort or convenience
If you’re unsure whether you need an exam, schedule an appointment and our team will guide you to the best next step.
What Happens During a Contact Lens Exam at Geaux Eyes
A contact lens exam includes additional testing beyond a standard eye exam. Your optometrist focuses on your vision performance and eye health.
Your appointment may include:
- A discussion about your visual needs, schedule, and comfort concerns
- Measurements to assess lens fit, alignment, and stability
- An evaluation of the eye surface and tear quality
- Trial lenses to test comfort and clarity when appropriate
- Final lens recommendations based on your results and daily routine
For first-time wearers, we include hands-on training to help you insert, remove, and care for your lenses safely and confidently.
Contact Lens Fitting & Follow-Up
Many patients return for a brief follow-up to confirm that lenses remain comfortable and stable after everyday use. These visits allow your optometrist to make fine adjustments based on how the lenses perform in real conditions. Our team will review the fitting process and expected timeline during your appointment.
Contact Lens Fees, Insurance, & What to Expect
Contact lens exams and fittings involve additional testing and follow-up, so they are billed separately from routine eye exams. Some vision plans include contact lens benefits, though coverage varies. Share your insurance information before your visit, and our staff will help you understand what may apply.
