Contact Lens Fittings in South Ogden & Washington Terrace, UT
If you want contacts that feel comfortable, see clearly, and stay safe for your eyes, you need more than “a prescription.” At Weber Eye Care, we provide contact lens fittings for patients in South Ogden, Washington Terrace, and surrounding Northern Utah communities.
A contact lens fitting is a medical service because contact lenses sit directly on your eye. The goal is not just to help you see, but to make sure the lenses fit properly, allow healthy oxygen flow, and do not cause long-term damage.
Why You Need a Doctor for Contact Lens Fittings
Contacts are medical devices. Even if your glasses prescription is current, you still need a contact lens fitting because contacts require different measurements, safety checks, and follow-up.
A proper fitting helps prevent common issues like:
Dryness, redness, and irritation
Blurry or inconsistent vision
Lenses that move too much (or not enough)
Corneal scratches (abrasions)
Infections and inflammation
Long-term changes to the cornea from an unhealthy fit
When contact lenses fit incorrectly, you may not notice the damage right away. That’s why a doctor-led fitting matters: it is about protecting your eye health, not just convenience.
We Take Our Time With Contact Lens Fittings
At Weber Eye Care, we don’t rush contact fittings. We take the time to:
Talk through your lifestyle (work screens, sports, dryness, allergies, long wear days)
Find the right lens type and material for comfort
Check the fit on your eyes and confirm healthy movement
Make sure your vision is clear and stable
Review safe wear and care habits so you feel confident at home
Our goal is simple: comfortable contacts and healthy eyes.
What a Contact Lens Fitting Should Include
A true contact lens fitting is more than handing you a box of lenses. It should include:
1) Eye exam and prescription check
We confirm your vision needs and screen your eye health first.
2) Contact lens-specific measurements
Contacts require additional measurements and evaluation beyond glasses.
3) Trial lenses and fit evaluation
We assess how the lens sits, moves, and performs on your eye.
4) Comfort, dryness, and safety assessment
We look for signs that a certain lens material or wear schedule may cause irritation.
5) Training (especially for new wearers)
If you are new to contacts, we teach insertion, removal, and proper hygiene.
6) Final contact lens prescription
Once fit and vision are confirmed, you receive your contact lens prescription.
If you have never worn contacts before, the fitting matters even more. We will guide you through:
The best lens options for beginners
How to insert and remove lenses safely
What to avoid (sleeping in lenses, stretching wear time, reusing solution, etc.)
How to know when something is wrong and you should call

Contact Lens Fittings FAQ | Weber Eye Care (South Ogden / Washington Terrace / Ogden)
Do I need a contact lens fitting if I already have a glasses prescription?
Yes. A contact lens fitting is different from a glasses prescription because contacts sit directly on your eye. The doctor needs to evaluate fit, movement, comfort, and eye health to help prevent irritation and reduce the risk of complications.
What happens during a contact lens fitting?
A proper fitting includes:
A comprehensive eye exam (vision + eye health)
Measurements and lens selection based on your eyes and lifestyle
Trial lenses when needed
A fit check to confirm the lens is sitting safely and comfortably
Finalizing your contact lens prescription once everything checks out
Why can’t I just order contacts online without seeing a doctor?
Because contacts are medical devices. If the lens fit or material is wrong, it can cause dryness, redness, blurred vision, and (in more serious cases) damage to the cornea or infection. A doctor visit ensures the lenses are safe for your specific eyes, not just “close enough.”
Do you offer specialty contact lens fittings?
Yes—Weber Eye Care fits multiple lens types including soft, toric, multifocal, scleral, and ortho-k lenses. Weber Eye Care
