Contact Lens Exams in Washington, D.C., Chevy Chase, MD, & Arlington, VA
Washington Eye Doctors is your go-to center for clear and comfortable vision with perfectly fitted contact lenses — which starts with our personalized exams.
What is a Contact Lens Exam?
Contact lens exams are how our team confirms not just your contact lens prescription – a different prescription from standard eyeglasses – but also the health of the front of your eyes. We’ll examine your cornea for conditions like dry eye disease and keratoconus — while these may make standard contacts difficult to wear, we likely have specialty lenses that can still bring you crisp, healthy vision.
Why is a Contact Eye Exam Important?
Examining your eyes thoroughly, and specifically with contacts in mind, helps us deliver maximum clarity and comfort. Once we understand your measurements, general eye health, and if you fall into the “hard-to-fit” category, we work to find your perfect lenses. With our variety of standard disposable lenses, and specialty lenses like multifocals, toric, scleral, and colored options, we can help you love what you see.
What You Can Expect from Your Contact Lens Exam?
We rely on advanced diagnostic technology to take precise measurements of your eyes to ensure greater accuracy and streamline the fitting process. And, this equipment has the added benefit of being faster and more comfortable than ever. We’ll explain what we learn about your cornea and the front of your eyes, so you understand our recommendations and how to get the most out of your lenses.

Joseph AtchuloJanuary 27, 2022.The best Eye Care Center in Washington DC. Visit them for an awesome experience.
Jim LiuNovember 30, 2021.I visited Washington Eye Doctors for my dry eyes. Dr. Rosenblatt is awesome, he is very respectful and professional. Zero pressure when you talk to him. After the treatments, I feel absolutely better. Eye dryness is painful, and someone says it's more like a disability than a disorder. I can't agree more. Before I get the treatments, I can't even sit down and type these words for like 15 mins. Now I am not 100% recovered but at least I could work and study like a normal person. I am still using prescribed medications and I am confident that this problem is treatable. If you have dry eyes, try to contact Dr. Roosenblatt is the best advice I could give.
Randy CappsJuly 19, 2021.I have been with Washington Eye Doctors for 50 years since the Katz/Kanstroom days. They guided me through bifocals as a kid, contacts as an adolescent and Lasik as an adult. 25 years after Lasik I still have near perfect vision. I just went back for night driving glasses. Always quick, efficient and thorough consistently over the decades.
Mary Virginia SpencerMay 14, 2021.I had the best experience here! In a crunch, they were more than happy to help me get new contacts and were incredibly helpful and kind. Definitely will be going back!!
Stephanie AylwardApril 30, 2021.A group of kind, friendly human beings. I was visiting Washington, D.C. from out of town, ran into a bind, and this practice was able to help me so that I could drive back home. I am so thankful for their help.
Amanda BlakeApril 29, 2021.The absolute best choice for dry eye! I had been suffering for years, and now my eyes are drastically better after only three months of proper treatment. Dr. Abraham is excellent. He explains things very clearly and listens to concerns with compassion. I really appreciate his help and cannot recommend Washington Eye Doctors highly enough, especially for dry eye patients.
Karen MoeJune 26, 2020.Dr Rosenblatt has been my eye doctor for many years and worked with me to get my proper correction for nearsightedness. My extra-sensitive system was previously over-corrected and his prescriptions enabled my vision to be more relaxed and stabilize. The glasses are high quality and good fit. I’m especially fond of the nearly weightless frames and lenses.
