How does an appointment to get contact lenses work?

[Petty]

Well, I'm going to get contact lenses soon and I want do know what the doctor does. How do they measure the diameter of your eyes. Does wearing contacts for the first time feel irritating?

What the doctor do is the same as a regular glasses exam. They will let you read letters from far away and ask you which one is clearer. They also look into your eyes with a device to get the exact prescription for your contact lenses. It does takes some time for you to get used to contacts. You may find hard to put the lenses in at first but you'll get used to it some time later.
