Evaluation
Prior to prescribing contact lenses, your doctor will perform an annual eye exam. Refractive error (commonly known as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism depending on the error) is evaluated by measuring how the eyes focus when a series of different lenses are placed in front of them.
The contacts lens prescription requires additional testing and isn’t always the same power as your glasses prescription. To schedule an appointment for a vision evaluation with our Lubbock optometrist, call (806) 747-1635 today.
