Contact Lens Exams and Fittings in in Park Ridge

Local Eye Doctor in Park Ridge

If you are thinking about getting contact lenses for the first time, or need a new contact lens prescription, you will want to visit us at Chicago My Optical. Our local eye doctor in Park Ridge, either Dr. Young Kim or Dr. Kristin Colonna, can provide you with a complete contact lens exam and fitting, or a comprehensive eye exam.

During our contact lens exams and fitting, our local eye doctor in Park Ridge, will thoroughly examine your eyes for any refractive errors, and screen your eyes for a wide variety of eye diseases and disorders. Whether you have astigmatism, nearsightedness, farsightedness, or some combination of these refractive errors, you can have your vision corrected by wearing contact lenses. This is surprising to some of our new contact lens wearers because in the past, patients with astigmatism have not been able to have their vision adequately corrected with contact lenses. However, today, due to the great advancements in contact lenses, patients with astigmatism, or even dry eye, can now safely and accurately have their vision corrected. During your contact lens exam and fitting, our eye doctor will also screen your eyes for many different eye diseases and disorders including: cataracts; glaucoma; macular degeneration; diabetic retinopathy; retinal tears; dry eye; and other problems of the cornea, macula, and retina. Our eye doctor will also take measurements of your eye to make sure that your new contact lenses will fit your eyes precisely. The curvature of your cornea will be measured as well as the size of your iris. It is very important that contact lenses said well or else they can cause irritation to the cornea and cause permanent vision damage. Our eye doctor will also let you know which type of contact lenses will work best for you given your vision needs and lifestyle.
