If standard contact lenses have not felt comfortable or have not given you clear, stable vision, a hard-to-fit contact lens exam can help us find a better solution. At Kopolow & Girisgen, Doctors of Optometry, we evaluate patients with concerns such as astigmatism, presbyopia, keratoconus, dry eye, giant papillary conjunctivitis, and post-LASIK vision needs to determine which lenses may work best.  Our practice offers specialty contact lens services in Las Vegas as part of its full-service eye care.
 

We Start by Understanding Why Standard Lenses Have Not Worked

A hard-to-fit contact lens exam is more detailed than a routine fitting. We begin by talking through your symptoms, past contact lens experience, and daily visual demands. Some patients struggle with lens movement, dryness, irritation, or inconsistent vision. Others have unique corneal shapes or eye conditions that make standard soft lenses less effective. This first step helps us understand not just what is going wrong, but what your eyes need to perform better.
 

We Evaluate Your Eyes and Recommend the Right Lens Design

After reviewing your symptoms and lens history, we take a closer look at the shape and health of your eyes. This part of the exam helps us understand how your cornea is shaped, how your eyes are functioning, and what may be causing discomfort or unstable vision. These details matter because a more customized fit often leads to better comfort and clearer vision.

Based on what we find, we recommend lens options that fit your specific needs. Some patients may do well with toric lenses for astigmatism, while others may benefit from multifocal lenses for presbyopia or specialty designs for conditions such as keratoconus, dry eye, or post-LASIK vision changes. Our goal is to find contact lenses that work with your eyes, not against them.
 

What We May Review During the Exam

• Your current prescription and visual concerns
• Past problems with contact lens comfort or fit
• Corneal shape and overall eye health
• Whether specialty lens designs may improve comfort and clarity
• How your lenses should perform for work, driving, reading, and daily wear
   

We Use the Exam to Build a More Comfortable Long-Term Fit

The goal of a hard-to-fit contact lens exam is not simply to find any lens that works. It is to find a lens that supports clearer vision, better comfort, and more reliable daily wear.
