Kontaktlencselszemléssel

Kontaktlencselszemléssel refers to the eye examination specifically performed for individuals who wish to wear or are already wearing contact lenses. This examination is crucial for ensuring the safe and effective use of contact lenses and is distinct from a standard eye exam. The optometrist or ophthalmologist assesses various aspects of the eye to determine suitability for contact lens wear and to select the correct lens type, size, and prescription.

During a kontaktlencselszemléssel, the eye care professional will measure the curvature of the cornea using a keratometer or a topographer. This measurement is essential for fitting contact lenses that will sit properly on the eye's surface. Tear film stability is also evaluated to ensure adequate lubrication and prevent discomfort. Furthermore, the health of the cornea, conjunctiva, and eyelids is checked for any underlying conditions that might contraindicate contact lens wear, such as severe dry eye, allergies, or infections.

The prescription for contact lenses is also determined during this examination, which may differ slightly from a glasses prescription due to the proximity of the lens to the eye. Patients will typically be fitted with trial lenses, and the practitioner will assess the fit, vision, and comfort. Instructions on proper insertion, removal, cleaning, and disinfection of the lenses are provided, along with advice on wearing schedules and follow-up care. Regular follow-up appointments are recommended to monitor eye health and lens performance.
