Contact Lens Exams

Although most patients requiring vision correction should have a pair of glasses, there are several advantages to wearing contact lenses. If your lifestyle calls for freedom from eyeglasses or you require a different level of correction that contact lenses can provide, we look forward to finding the perfect solution for you.

Whether you have never worn contact lenses or you've tried them in the past without success and want to try again, we begin with a contact lens exam to evaluate and confirm that you are a good candidate. Then, extensive measurements are taken to ensure the contact lenses will fit properly and provide the best optical correction. A complete analysis of the wide array of contact lens options is reviewed before selecting the best individual approach for each patient. Once the comfort, vision, and healthy fit of the contact lenses are established, we will issue a contact lens prescription that is separate and distinct from an eyeglass prescription.
