Glasses and Contact Lenses in Haddon Heights: What You Need to Know

A well-fitted pair of glasses or properly prescribed contact lenses can meaningfully support your ability to see clearly and comfortably throughout daily life. At Eye Care Physicians & Surgeons of New Jersey, vision correction begins with a comprehensive eye examination conducted by our experienced ophthalmologists. This evaluation goes beyond a basic vision screening to assess the overall health of your eyes, screen for conditions such as those covered in our eye conditions resource for New Jersey patients, and determine the most accurate prescription for your needs.

For patients who prefer glasses, our physicians can help identify lens options suited to your lifestyle, including single-vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses. For those considering contact lenses, we conduct contact lens fittings to help determine which lens type may be appropriate based on your eye shape, prescription, and daily habits. Patients with astigmatism, dry eye, or other considerations may have additional options worth discussing during a consultation.

Our approach is rooted in clinical accuracy and patient-centered care. Individual results and candidacy for specific lens types vary, and our team is committed to helping each Haddon Heights patient find a solution that supports both vision clarity and ocular health over time.

Are You a Candidate for Glasses or Contact Lenses?

Most adults and children who experience refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism may be candidates for glasses, contact lenses, or both. Patients who have noticed changes in their vision, difficulty reading, eye strain, or frequent headaches are encouraged to schedule a comprehensive eye exam. A thorough evaluation with one of our ophthalmologists is the appropriate first step in determining which vision correction option may be right for you.

Patients in Haddon Heights may benefit from glasses or contact lenses if they:

• Have been diagnosed with a refractive error such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia, or astigmatism
• Experience blurred vision at near or far distances
• Are experiencing age-related changes in near vision (presbyopia)
• Have not had an eye exam within the past year
• Are interested in transitioning from glasses to contact lenses, or vice versa
• Require updated lenses due to a change in prescription

Not every patient is a candidate for every type of contact lens. Our physicians will evaluate your individual eye health, lifestyle, and prescription to help determine which options are appropriate. Individual results may vary.

What to Expect at Eye Care Physicians and Surgeons of New Jersey

Your experience at Eye Care Physicians & Surgeons of New Jersey typically begins with a comprehensive eye exam. During this visit, our ophthalmologists use advanced diagnostic technology to evaluate your visual acuity, assess eye alignment, measure intraocular pressure, and examine the health of your retina and optic nerve. This thorough evaluation helps ensure that your prescription is accurate and that no underlying conditions are contributing to your symptoms.

For patients pursuing contact lenses, a contact lens fitting appointment is typically scheduled in addition to the comprehensive exam. During this visit, our team will take measurements of your cornea, discuss your lifestyle and wearing preferences, and recommend lens options that may be appropriate for your eyes. A trial lens fitting is commonly part of this process, and most patients are given trial lenses to wear before a final prescription is issued.

A common concern among patients in Haddon Heights is whether contact lenses are manageable for first-time wearers. Our team takes time to provide instruction on proper insertion, removal, and daily lens care so that new wearers feel comfortable and confident. Patients who experience dry eye symptoms may wish to review our information on dry eye treatment options in New Jersey, as this condition can influence contact lens comfort and candidacy. Follow-up visits are part of the standard care process and allow our physicians to confirm that your lenses are fitting correctly and supporting your eye health.

How do I know if I need glasses or contact lenses?

If you are experiencing blurred vision at near or far distances, eye strain, headaches, or difficulty with nighttime driving, a comprehensive eye exam is recommended. Our ophthalmologists will evaluate your vision and eye health to determine whether glasses, contact lenses, or another approach may be appropriate for your needs. Individual results and candidacy vary by patient.

What is the difference between an ophthalmologist and an optometrist for glasses and contact lens fittings?

Ophthalmologists are medical doctors with advanced training in both the medical and surgical treatment of eye conditions. They can prescribe glasses and contact lenses while also evaluating and managing underlying eye conditions. This means patients at our practice receive both vision correction services and comprehensive medical eye care from physicians with extensive clinical experience.

How long does a contact lens fitting typically take?

A contact lens fitting is typically scheduled as a separate appointment following your comprehensive eye exam. Most fittings take 30 to 60 minutes, during which our team measures your cornea, discusses lens options, and fits trial lenses. A follow-up visit is commonly scheduled to confirm comfort and vision quality before a final prescription is issued. Timelines may vary by individual.

Can patients with dry eye wear contact lenses?

Some patients with dry eye symptoms may still be candidates for contact lens wear, depending on the severity of their condition and the lens type selected. Our ophthalmologists will evaluate your dry eye status as part of your comprehensive exam and discuss whether contact lenses are appropriate for you. Specialized lens materials and wearing schedules may be recommended for certain patients. Individual results may vary.
