When it comes to ensuring optimal vision and comfort with contact lenses, a comprehensive eye exam is essential. But what sets today’s exams apart from those of the past? The answer lies in advanced technology. At Clarity Vision in Smithfield, NC, we utilize state-of-the-art tools to provide precise, customized contact lens evaluations tailored to your visual needs and lifestyle.

Precision Starts with an Eye Exam

Modern contact lens exams go far beyond reading an eye chart. We use digital refraction systems that offer more accurate and efficient measurements of your refractive error. This means your prescription is tailored with greater precision - critical for contact lenses, which sit directly on the eye’s surface.

Corneal Mapping and Topography

One of the most valuable tools in a contact lens eye exam is corneal topography. This non-invasive imaging technology maps the curvature of your cornea in detail, identifying even minor irregularities. These maps are especially important for fitting specialty lenses, such as toric lenses for astigmatism, multifocal lenses for presbyopia, or scleral lenses for patients with keratoconus or dry eyes.

Tear Film Analysis

Comfort is just as important as clarity. If you experience dryness or irritation with contacts, advanced tear film analysis can evaluate the quality and quantity of your tears. This allows us to address dry eye concerns and recommend lens materials or coatings that enhance moisture retention and wearability.

High-Resolution Imaging for Eye Health

During your exam, we also assess the health of your eyes using high-resolution imaging technology. Instruments like optical coherence tomography (OCT) allow us to detect any underlying issues that may affect your ability to wear contact lenses safely, including corneal abnormalities or early signs of infection or inflammation.

Custom Lens Design

Thanks to the data gathered from these high-tech diagnostic tools, we can recommend contact lenses that are not just based on your prescription—but also your eye shape, tear chemistry, and lifestyle needs. Whether you're a first-time wearer or need an upgrade for more complex vision issues, technology helps us craft the ideal solution for your vision.
