Question 1

How long does a contact lens exam take?

Accepted Answer

It varies depending on what tests are being performed and how many patients are being examined. However, most patients can expect their appointment to take between 30 and 60 minutes.

Question 2

How long does a contact lens prescription last for?

Accepted Answer

Contact lens prescriptions are typically valid for 1 year from the date of your exam.

Question 3

How old do I have to be to wear contact lenses?

Accepted Answer

Lots of teens (and even some pre-teens) wear contact lenses. It's more about responsibility and attitude than age since they require care and cleanliness. Seeing an eye doctor will help you figure out whether contact lenses are right for you. Daily disposable contacts can be a good option for new and younger contact lens wearers since they don't require cleaning or disinfection.

Question 4

How long will it take for my contact lenses to feel normal?

Accepted Answer

This varies for everyone. If you feel like it has been too long, the best way to find out why you're uncomfortable, and what you can do about it, is to talk to your eye doctor.

Question 5

Should the contact lens move around after I put it on?

Accepted Answer

A proper fitting contact lens will move just slightly with each blink, but should stay in place as you move your eyes around. Even on that rare occasion when a contact lens moves off the center of the eye, it usually stays on the eye and can simply be moved back to center.

Question 6

Is it okay if my vision is still blurry after putting on my contact lenses?

Accepted Answer

Many things can adversely affect your vision. It could be dry eyes, poor-fitting lenses, or an out-of-date prescription. It could also be a sign of a more serious problem not related to your contacts. You should always talk to your eye doctor about any issues you are having with your vision or your contact lenses.
