Eye exam???

Answers:

Any reputable eye doctor would do both. Not only do you need an eye exam to test for your prescription but you also need an ocular examination. They use a bio-microscope to take a closer look into your eyes to check for contraindications for contact lens wear. They also need to measure corneal curvature and check for dryness. Just let your eye doctor know! You probably wont even notice the extra steps. :) Following the eye exam the eye doctor or optician will fit you with a trial set of lenses, train you on the use, check the fit and check the visual acuity etc...... If everything goes smoothly they will send you home with the contact lenses and have you come back in for a check up in a week or two!!! Getting contact lenses is an ongoing process (well it should be at least)
