How a Contact Lens Exam Can Help You Achieve Clearer, More Comfortable Vision

If you live in Wayne, New Jersey, and rely on contact lenses for clear vision, you know how important it is to have the right fit. But getting the perfect contact lenses isn’t just about picking a prescription—it’s about ensuring comfort, clarity, and long-term eye health. That’s where a contact lens exam at Avant Garde Vision Center comes in. Whether you’re new to contacts or have been wearing them for years, this specialized exam goes beyond a routine eye check-up.

Why a Contact Lens Exam Is Different from a Regular Eye Exam

A standard eye exam determines your overall eye health and prescription needs, but a contact lens exam takes it a step further. Contacts sit directly on your eye, so they need to fit properly and match your lifestyle.

At Avant Garde Vision Center, we assess:

• Corneal shape and measurements: Your eye’s curvature plays a major role in finding the right lens fit.

• Tear film quality: If you struggle with dry eyes, certain lenses may be more comfortable than others.

• Prescription for contacts: A glasses prescription doesn’t always translate directly to contact lenses.

• Lifestyle considerations: Do you need lenses for sports? Long hours of screen time? Occasional wear? We’ll find the best option for your needs.

How the Right Contact Lenses Can Improve Your Comfort

Wayne residents know the struggle of dealing with seasonal allergies, dry indoor air in the winter, or long hours staring at a screen. The right contact lenses can make a significant difference.

• Toric lenses can correct astigmatism, helping those who experience blurry or distorted vision.

• Multifocal lenses provide clear vision at all distances, eliminating the need for reading glasses.

• Daily disposables are great for those who suffer from allergies, as they minimize buildup from pollen and dust.

• Specialized lenses like scleral lenses can provide relief for those with dry eye syndrome.

If your current lenses feel dry, uncomfortable, or just not as clear as they used to be, it might be time for an adjustment.

What to Expect During Your Contact Lens Fitting

When you visit Avant Garde Vision Center, Dr. Zabarko takes the time to ensure your lenses are the perfect match for your eyes.

• We’ll start by measuring your eyes and assessing their health.

• You’ll try on a pair of trial lenses so we can evaluate the fit and vision quality.

• We’ll teach you how to insert, remove, and care for your lenses if you're new to wearing them.

• After a follow-up visit, we’ll fine-tune your prescription if needed.

Our goal is to make sure your contacts feel natural and enhance your vision—whether you're driving down Hamburg Turnpike, hiking at High Mountain Park Preserve, or just relaxing at home.
