Comprehensive Vision with Contact Lens Exam (New Patient) in Newton, KS

A comprehensive vision with contact lens exam for a new patient is a first-time visit with a doctor specializing in optometry, during which both a comprehensive vision and contact lens exam are performed. Optometry is a branch of medicine and healthcare that deals with the examination of the eyes and related structures for defects or abnormalities. Optometrists also provide comprehensive primary eye care. This exam involves a series of tests to evaluate overall eye health, vision and check for eye disease. The eye doctor is likely to use various instruments, shine bright lights at the eyes, and request that you look through an array of lenses. During the contact lens exam, the doctor fits the patient for contact lenses, ensures the lenses are fitting both eyes properly and that the health of the eyes is not harmed by the contact lenses. A new patient exam is needed if you have never seen this doctor and would be new to the practice.
