Do I need a separate appointment for contacts if I already had an eye exam?

Yes, in most cases. A contact lens fitting checks corneal shape and tear film specifically for lens fit, which isn't part of a standard comprehensive exam.

How often should contact lens wearers see an eye doctor?

Most contact lens wearers should have a comprehensive eye exam and lens fitting check at least once a year, or sooner if vision or comfort changes.

What should I do if my eye is irritated after wearing contacts?

Remove the lenses right away and contact your eye doctor, since irritation can signal early infection that needs to be evaluated promptly.
