Cooler air, busier schedules — and the perfect time to make sure your contact lenses are still giving you the comfort and clarity you deserve. This October, Contact Lens Safety Month serves as an ideal reminder that healthy vision and all-day comfort start with a proper contact lens exam. At Hart Eye Care, our goal is to help you see clearly, comfortably, and confidently — every day of the year.
Why Contact Lens Exams Matter
A contact lens exam is more than just a prescription check. Unlike a standard eye exam, a lens evaluation ensures that your contacts fit correctly, move properly, and keep your eyes healthy. During your appointment, our optometrists assess several important factors, including:
- Corneal curvature and oxygen needs
- Lens fit and movement on the eye
- Tear film quality and eye surface health
These details help determine which lens type and material best suit your eyes. An accurate fit not only improves clarity but also prevents dryness, irritation, and potential infections. Even small changes in your eyes or vision can affect how your lenses feel and perform — which is why regular evaluations are key to maintaining long-term comfort and eye health.
When to Update Your Lens Evaluation
If it’s been over a year since your last contact lens exam, or if you’ve noticed any of the following, it’s time to schedule an update:
- Blurry or fluctuating vision
- Increased dryness, especially during fall and winter
- Redness or irritation after lens wear
- Interest in exploring daily or specialty options
Seasonal changes can also impact lens comfort. Fall’s cooler, drier air may reduce natural tear production, leading to increased dryness. A professional fitting can help you switch to newer, more breathable materials that retain moisture and enhance comfort throughout the day.
