examinations differ from regular eye exams. Examinations for
contacts is mandatory and include measurements for size and
roundness of your eyes.
Even if you want to wear colored contacts, you still need an
examination. There are several kinds of eye care professionals.
Ophthalmologists, optometrists, and opticians differ in their
fields of expertise. Ophthalmologists are medical doctors and
perform surgery, treat eye diseases, and also prescribe
corrective eyewear. Optometrists also diagnose vision problems
but are not medical doctors. Opticians fit glasses and contacts
but cannot conduct eye exams.
When you have your eye exam, make sure to demand a copy of your
prescription. Many eye care professionals are reluctant to give
you the prescription because they want to sell you contacts at
retail!
