Contact Lens Exams for Alma Residents
If you’ve been thinking about trying contact lenses—or switching to a more comfortable option—the first step is a contact lens exam. At Alma Optics, we take a practical approach to contact lens exams, so you feel comfortable with the process and confident in your decision.
More Than a Standard Eye Exam
A contact lens exam includes everything you’d expect from a routine eye exam, but with a few important differences. Since contact lenses sit directly on your eyes, we take a closer look at how your eyes are shaped and how they function day to day. We’re not just checking if you can see clearly—we’re making sure your lenses will feel comfortable, stay in place, and support your long-term eye health.
From medical treatments to your annual eye exam, we provide a wide range of services at Alma Optics.
Conveniently located, we offer flexible hours to fit your busy schedule, so your care works around your life.

What to Expect at Alma Optics
Finding the right contact lenses isn’t one-size-fits-all. We take a step-by-step approach to make sure your lenses feel comfortable, fit properly, and work with your daily routine. During your exam, you can expect:
Discussing Your Needs
We start by talking through your day—how often you’d wear contacts, what you use your vision for, and any concerns you’ve had in the past.
Measuring Your Eyes
We take detailed measurements of your eyes to understand their shape and surface. This helps us choose lenses that sit properly and are comfortable.
Checking for Comfort
Your tear film plays a big role in how contact lenses feel. We evaluate this to help reduce dryness and improve overall comfort.
Trying Lenses In-Office
Depending on lens availability, you may have the opportunity to try lenses during your visit so we can evaluate fit, comfort, and vision in real time.
First Time Trying Contacts?
If you’re new to contact lenses, you won’t be left to figure it out on your own. We’ll guide you through inserting and removing your lenses step by step, so you feel comfortable before you leave.
It’s normal for this to feel unfamiliar at first, and we take the time to make sure you’re confident handling your lenses on your own.
When to Schedule Your Visit
A contact lens exam is a good next step if you:
- Are interested in trying contact lenses for the first time
- Want an alternative to wearing glasses full-time
- Have had trouble with contacts in the past
- Are looking for a more comfortable or better-fitting option
- Need specialty lenses for your eyes
We’ll help you understand your options and what’s realistic for your eyes.
