What Is a Comprehensive Contact Lens Exam?

A comprehensive contact lens exam goes far beyond simple prescription checks. At iDoctor, our process is designed for patients who have struggled with comfort in the past. We assess your eye health holistically and use advanced tools, such as digital phoropters, corneal mapping, and widefield retinal imaging (Optomap), to provide a precise and individualized fit. Our experience shows that many comfort issues come down to small fit mismatches or incomplete health screenings—details we address thoroughly.

The exam includes:

• Digital prescription testing: Comfortable, accurate measurement with digital phoropters
• Corneal topography: High-resolution imaging for custom lens fitting, essential for hard-to-fit or sensitive eyes
• Health screening: Screening for dryness, allergies, or underlying issues like astigmatism and presbyopia
• Lens selection: Access to leading brands (Acuvue, Biofinity, DAILIES, Air Optix, Clariti, MyDay, Ultra, and more), with options for daily, biweekly, monthly, toric, and multifocal designs
• Trial fitting and training: You’ll test trial lenses on-site for immediate comfort assessment and receive personalized education from our certified team
• Follow-up and support: Hassle-free adjustments, free follow-ups, and our lifetime in-store eyewear adjustment guarantee

Our exams typically take 45-60 minutes. If you’re uninsured, our competitive value packages make quality care accessible. We regularly see patients from Carol Stream and Wheaton who appreciate our thorough, unrushed process and convenient hours (Monday/Thursday/Friday 9am-5pm, Tuesday/Wednesday 10am-3pm).
