Contact Lens Evaluation Policy PRINTABLE PDF The Comprehensive Eye Examination Before being fit into contact lenses, each patient must undergo a thorough ocular examination that evaluates several things, including the spectacle refraction and eye health. This evaluation will allow the doctor to determine if the patient will be a good candidate to wear contact lenses The Contact Lens Evaluation Contact lenses are medical devices regulated by the FDA and therefore must be assessed on a yearly basis to ensure optimal vision, proper fit, and healthy eyes. All contact lens prescriptions expire one year after the evaluation. This is a federal requirement and we are obligated to adhere to it The contact lens evaluation is an additional service and is usually not covered by medical or vision insurance.
