Comprehensive Eye Exam
The routine, annual exam that checks vision, provides a prescription for glasses (if needed), and examines the overall health of the eye. Comprehensive eye exams are typically covered under your Vision Insurance (often times with a copay).
By default, majority of eye exams fall in this category. If there is a finding requiring urgent attention or something that prevents the comprehensive exam from being complete, your doctor may convert to a Medical Exam.
If you have a known medical condition needing monitoring or treatment, that would fall under a "Medical Eye Exam" for specific and detailed diagnosis and management.
Contact Lens Fitting
A contact lens fitting or prescription is an additional service to the comprehensive eye exam. For a contact lens to be prescribed, it is required the eye health be assessed and the prescription determined (all performed in a comprehensive exam). Even if you are a veteran wearer of contact lenses, this is a service that must be performed annually as well; pursuant of Section 351.435 of the Optometry Act.
