At Dr. Obermark Eye Health Care, our skilled optometrists at all our locations take the guesswork out of finding lenses that feel great and help you see your world clearly.

Why Contact Lens Fittings Aren’t One-Size-Fits-All
Here’s something most people don’t realize: a contact lens exam is different from a regular eye check. Just because you have a glasses prescription doesn’t mean you’re ready to wear contacts. Contacts sit directly on your eyes, so they need to fit precisely, not just visually but physically.
Our contact lens evaluations go beyond standard testing. We look at corneal shape, tear quality, and eye health to ensure your lenses stay comfortable throughout the day. Plus, we consider your hobbies, screen time, and daily routine when recommending your best options.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Curious about how it all works? Your contact lens exam is all about precision, comfort, and education.
- Full Eye Exam
We start with a complete vision checkup. We’ll assess your eye health, screen for conditions like dry eye or allergies, and determine if contacts are a good fit for you. - Corneal Curvature Mapping
Your eyes are as unique as your fingerprints. Using high-resolution tools, we measure the shape and curve of your cornea to make sure your lenses fit securely and comfortably. - Tear Film Evaluation
Dry eyes and contact lenses don’t mix well. We’ll check your tear production to make sure your eyes stay hydrated throughout the day. If we spot any dryness, we’ll offer solutions to boost comfort.
