Why a Contact Lens Exam in New Orleans LA Matters

A contact lens exam isn’t just about checking your prescription—it’s about ensuring your lenses are safe, comfortable, and suited to your eyes. The shape, health, and tear production of your eyes all affect how contacts feel and perform.

Dr. Dugan takes a detailed approach, evaluating your eye curvature, tear film, and overall ocular health to recommend the right type of lenses for you. Whether you need daily disposables, toric lenses for astigmatism, or multifocal lenses, we help you find the perfect fit.

What to Expect During Your Exam

Comprehensive Eye Health Check

Dr. Dugan begins with a full eye exam to assess your vision and eye health. This ensures your eyes are ready for contact lenses and helps detect any conditions that could affect comfort or performance.

Measuring Eye Shape

We measure your cornea’s curvature to determine the best size and shape for your lenses. Just like shoes, contacts need to fit your eyes correctly for optimal comfort and clarity.

Tear Film Evaluation

Healthy tear production is essential for contact lens comfort. Dr. Dugan evaluates your tear film and may recommend lens types or solutions that help your eyes stay moist and comfortable throughout the day.

Types of Contact Lenses We Offer

• Daily Disposables: Convenient, hygienic, and easy to use.
• Monthly or Bi-Weekly Lenses: Reusable lenses cleaned and stored each night.
• Toric Lenses: Specially designed for astigmatism for a stable, clear fit.
• Multifocal Lenses: Correct both distance and near vision, ideal for presbyopia.

We also provide rigid gas permeable (hard) lenses, colored lenses, and specialty lenses when appropriate.

Personalized Care

We don’t just hand you a box of lenses—we make sure you know how to use, clean, and care for them properly. Dr. Dugan considers your lifestyle, work habits, and visual needs to recommend the lenses that fit your life.

Whether you’re an athlete, spend hours at a computer, or just want an alternative to glasses, we’ll guide you to the right lenses for comfort and clarity.
