Contact Lens Exams in Saskatoon

Clear Vision & A Comfortable Fit

If you’re looking for an alternative to your glasses with the same vision correction you’re used to, contact lenses can be an excellent option. However, it’s important to get the right fit. Contact lens exams and fittings are different from your regular eye exam, with different tests.

Murdoch & Macnab Doctors of Optometry offers contact lens exams and fittings for new and experienced wearers. Whether you’re curious about trying contacts for the first time or looking to upgrade to a better fit or specialty lens, we can help!

Our experienced team will help you find the right lenses for your eyes and lifestyle, with experienced fittings, training, and follow-up care. Contact us to schedule your contact lens exam today.

What to Expect During Your Contact Lens Exam

A contact lens exam is different from a standard glasses prescription. Contacts sit directly on the eye, which means they require additional measurements and evaluations for safety and comfort. Here’s what’s included:

• A precise vision assessment to determine your contact lens prescription
• Eye surface and corneal measurements to find the right lens size and curvature
• A tear film evaluation to make sure the contacts will be comfortable
• A trial fitting with diagnostic lenses to assess vision and comfort
• Training on how to insert, remove, and care for your lenses
• Follow-up visits to confirm the lenses are still working well

Whether you’re new to contacts or have been wearing them for years, we’ll walk you through the process with care and attention at every step.

Specialty Contact Lenses We Offer

Some eyes need a little extra customization, and that’s where specialty contact lenses come in. At Murdoch & Macnab Doctors of Optometry, we take the time to match you with lenses designed for your unique vision needs and lifestyle. 

Whether you’re dealing with astigmatism, presbyopia, or childhood myopia, we offer specialty lens options and personalized care every step of the way.

Our specialty contact lenses include:

• Toric lenses: Designed for patients with astigmatism, toric lenses offer stable, clear vision by aligning with the unique shape of your eye.
• Multifocal lenses: These lenses make it easier to see both up close and at a distance, perfect for patients experiencing age-related near vision changes.
• MiSight 1 day lenses: A daily disposable lens proven to help slow the progression of myopia (nearsightedness) in children. Early intervention matters—learn more about our myopia control services.

Recycling Your Contact Lenses Made Easy

At Murdoch & Macnab Doctors of Optometry, we care about your eyes and the environment. That’s why we have started a new program to recycle used contact lenses and their packaging.

Here’s how the program works:

• Bring your used contact lenses, blister packs, and foil packaging to our clinic.
• We collect these materials and send them to a specialized recycling facility.
• The lenses and packaging are cleaned and processed to recover valuable materials like plastics and metals.
• These recycled materials are then turned into new products, helping reduce waste and protect the environment.

By joining this program, you can help reduce landfill waste and support a more sustainable future while still enjoying the benefits of contact lenses. Ask us how to participate during your next visit and make a positive difference with your vision care.
