Contact lenses can be a game-changer for clear vision and freedom from glasses. But finding the right pair isn’t as simple as picking a brand off the shelf. The best way to know if your contacts are truly right for you is by making sure they’re comfortable, effective, and tailored to your unique eyes.
 

Comfort Is Key

Well-fitted contact lenses should feel natural. If you often notice irritation, dryness, or a feeling like something is stuck in your eye, it may be a sign that the lenses aren’t the best match. The right pair should allow you to wear them throughout the day without discomfort.
 

Clear, Consistent Vision

Your lenses should provide sharp, stable vision from morning to night. If you’re experiencing blurry spots, fluctuating clarity, or frequent adjustments, that’s a red flag that your prescription or lens type may not be the perfect fit.
 

Proper Oxygen Flow and Eye Health

Not all lenses are made the same. Materials vary in how much oxygen they allow to reach your eyes. If your lenses don’t provide enough breathability, you might notice redness, dryness, or irritation. During your exam, your optometrist can recommend lenses designed for your eye’s specific needs.
 

The Importance of a Contact Lens Exam and Fitting

The only way to know if your contacts are truly right for you is through a professional contact lens exam and fitting. At Palo Alto Eyes Optometry, we carefully evaluate:

• The shape and curvature of your eye

• Your tear film and moisture levels

• Your prescription and lifestyle needs

With this information, we select and test lenses to ensure they not only improve your vision but also keep your eyes healthy and comfortable.
 

When to See Your Optometrist

If you ever feel your contacts are irritating, causing frequent redness, or not giving you clear vision, it’s time to schedule an appointment. Your eyes change over time, and so should your lenses.
