Contact Lens Fitting Contact lens fitting is separate from your comprehensive exam. During the contact lens fitting, the doctor is determining the contact lens curve, thickness, and diameter necessary to meet your specific needs. Often, a follow up appointment is scheduled approximately two weeks after your initial visit. During this follow up, the doctor will be able to check how your eyes are responding to the new contacts and determine if the lenses are causing any irritation.
