Contact Lens Exam, Tampa, FL 

At I-Care Optical in Tampa, Florida, we offer contact lens exams for both experienced wearers and those who are new to wearing contacts. If you already wear contacts, our skilled eye doctor Dr. Neil Patel will check your eyes to ensure they’re still suitable for you and aren’t impacting your eye health. If you’re new to contacts, he will assess your eye health and vision and help you find the best type of contact lens for your needs. 

Contact lenses for “hard-to-fit” patients 

Dr. Patel specializes in fitting contact lenses for “hard-to-fit” conditions. If you have astigmatism, dry eyes, or another “hard-to-fit” eye condition, he can help you find a contact lens that meets your specific needs. We have a wide variety of contact lens types available to ensure you can see comfortably and clearly with contacts.  

What to expect during a contact lens exam 

During your contact lens exam at I-Care Optical, Dr. Patel will carefully examine your eyes and evaluate your eye health and suitability for contact lenses. He’ll measure the shape and size of your eyes, check your vision, and look for any health conditions that may prevent you from wearing contacts comfortably.   

When you book your eye exam, make sure to let us know if you’re considering contact lenses. A contact lens exam requires additional measurements that aren’t part of a regular eye exam. By mentioning it beforehand, we can allocate extra time for a contact lens evaluation or even schedule a separate appointment if necessary. 

Why do I need an exam for contact lenses?   

Whether you’re an experienced contact lens wearer or thinking of making the switch, a contact lens exam is essential. Contact lenses are considered medical devices, and you should always obtain a valid prescription for contacts to ensure they fit properly and won’t damage your eyes. Regular contact lens exams are important for making sure your prescription is up to date, evaluating the fit and comfort of your lenses, and addressing any concerns or changes in your eye health.
