Contact Lens Exams & Fittings in Louisville & Prospect, KY
Comfortable Vision Starts With the Right Fit.
Contact lenses should do more than correct your vision—they should fit comfortably, stay stable throughout the day, and match your lifestyle.
At Lynn Family Vision, our contact lens exams and fittings evaluate your prescription, eye health, corneal shape, lens fit, and individual visual needs to help determine the right contact lenses for you.
Whether you're trying contact lenses for the first time, updating your current prescription, or looking for a more comfortable option, our doctors can help.
More Than a Contact Lens Prescription
Why Is a Contact Lens Exam Different From a Regular Eye Exam?
A comprehensive eye exam determines your glasses prescription and evaluates your overall eye health. A contact lens evaluation and fitting goes further.
Because a contact lens sits directly on the surface of the eye, we need to determine not only the correct prescription but also which lens design, size, material, and replacement schedule provide the best combination of vision, comfort, and eye health.
Your contact lens evaluation may include:
-
Contact lens prescription testing
-
Evaluation of the cornea and ocular surface
-
Measurements used to determine appropriate lens fit
-
Assessment of lens movement and positioning
-
Vision testing while wearing the lenses
-
Evaluation of comfort
-
Review of wearing habits and lifestyle
-
Contact lens insertion and removal instruction when needed
Contact Lens Options for Different Visual Needs
Daily Disposable Contact Lenses
Daily contacts offer the convenience of a fresh pair of lenses every day with no cleaning or storage required.
They can be a great option for frequent contact lens wearers, occasional wear, sports, travel, or patients who simply prefer the convenience of a daily replacement lens.
Contacts for Astigmatism
Having astigmatism does not automatically mean you cannot wear contact lenses.
Toric contact lenses are specifically designed to correct astigmatism while maintaining stable vision as you move throughout the day.
Our doctors can evaluate your prescription and determine which toric lens options may provide the best fit and visual performance.
Multi-Focal Contacts
If you need help seeing both near and far, multifocal contact lenses may allow you to reduce your dependence on reading glasses while maintaining distance vision.
Multifocal contacts are available in a variety of designs, and finding the right option often requires careful fitting and adjustment.

Having Trouble With Your Current Contacts?
Comfort Matters!
Contact lenses that worked well in the past may not always remain the best option.
Changes in prescription, lifestyle, screen use, environment, lens material, or the surface of the eye can affect contact lens comfort.
If your current contacts feel dry, uncomfortable, blurry, or difficult to wear for a full day, schedule a contact lens evaluation. A different lens material, design, or replacement schedule may provide a better experience.
