The Importance of Proper Contact Lens Fit for Eye Health

Wearing contact lenses can be a convenient and comfortable way to enjoy clear vision without glasses - but only when they fit properly. A poor contact lens fit doesn’t just cause discomfort. It can lead to serious complications that impact your long-term eye health. At Sienna Eye Care, Dr. Zebin Dholasaniya, provides personalized assessments to ensure your contacts fit your eyes correctly, feel comfortable, and support your overall eye health.

 

Why Contact Lens Fit Matters

Contact lenses sit directly on the surface of the eye, interacting with sensitive tissues that need oxygen to stay healthy. When a lens doesn’t fit correctly, it can lead to a range of issues such as dryness, irritation, blurry or fluctuating vision, redness, and inflammation. In some cases, an improper fit can even cause corneal scratches, infections, or worsen existing eye conditions.

 

Even small problems with how a lens moves or aligns on the eye can affect comfort and vision. Because of this, ensuring a proper contact lens fit is crucial for protecting your long-term eye health.

 

What Happens During a Contact Lens Exam?

A contact lens exam in Missouri City involves much more than a standard vision check. During your visit, Dr. Dholasaniya will:

• Evaluate your eye surface and corneal shape

• Measure tear film quality to ensure lenses remain comfortable

• Assess prescription needs for precise vision correction

• Recommend lenses based on your lifestyle and ocular health

 

Whether you are new to contact lenses or need to update your prescription, these steps ensure the best fit and safest wearing experience.

 

Specialized Lenses for Individual Needs

No two eyes are the same, and neither are the lenses that work best for them. Dr. Dholasaniya fits a wide range of lenses to suit different needs:

• Daily disposables for flexible, low-maintenance wear

• Toric lenses for patients with astigmatism

• Multifocal contacts for clear vision at all distances

• Rigid gas-permeable and scleral lenses for advanced corneal conditions

 

These customized options help ensure maximum comfort and optimal vision.
