Contact Lens Exams in Glendale
Your contact lenses should suit your eyes—not just your prescription. A personalized fitting checks your vision, comfort, and eye health so you can understand your options with confidence.
Whether you’re trying contacts for the first time or updating your current lenses, Dr. Arlene T. Yepremian, O.D., guides you through each step.
More than a vision prescription
Why the right fit matters
Contact lenses sit directly on your eyes, so a glasses prescription alone isn’t enough. A contact lens exam adds measurements and lens-specific checks to your comprehensive eye care.
Fit
Your eye’s shape and the way a lens rests and moves help determine which lenses are appropriate.
Vision
Testing with lenses checks how clearly you see and whether your prescription needs refinement.
Comfort
Your tear film, daily routine, and experience with dryness help guide lens recommendations.
Eye health
An evaluation of your eye’s surface helps identify irritation or other concerns that affect lens wear.
Your visit, step by step
You don’t need to know which lenses to choose before you arrive. Dr. Yepremian starts with your eye health and what you want from contact lenses, then explains the choices that fit your needs.
