Why it is separate

A contact lens exam is more than a glasses check.

Contact lenses sit directly on your eye, so the prescription and the fit are different from glasses. A contact lens exam measures the shape of your eye, checks the health of the cornea and tear film, and makes sure the lenses are safe and comfortable for all-day wear.

Getting the fit right is what prevents dryness, irritation, and problems down the road. It is worth doing properly.

What is included

What to expect at your fitting.

Precise measurements

We measure your eyes and assess the tear film and cornea to choose lenses that fit well and stay comfortable.

Trial lenses

You try lenses and we confirm the fit and vision before finalizing, so you leave confident in your choice.

Teaching for new wearers

First time in contacts? We teach you how to insert, remove, and care for your lenses, at your pace.

The right lens type

Daily disposables, monthly lenses, multifocals for reading, and toric lenses for astigmatism. We match the lens to your eyes and lifestyle.

All ages

Contacts for adults and children.

Many children do well in contact lenses, and for nearsighted kids, specially designed soft lenses can be part of a myopia control plan that helps slow how fast their prescription increases.

New to the clinic? It is easy to combine your contact lens fitting with a comprehensive eye exam. We direct bill most insurance plans and explain the fitting fee clearly first.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a separate exam for contact lenses?

Yes. Because lenses sit on the eye, a contact lens exam includes extra measurements and a check of your cornea and tear film that a glasses exam does not. This makes sure your lenses fit safely and comfortably.

Can children wear contact lenses?

Many children do very well in contacts. For nearsighted kids, special soft lenses can also be part of a myopia control plan to help slow how fast their prescription increases. We teach young wearers how to handle lenses safely.

Can I wear contacts if I have astigmatism?

Yes. Toric contact lenses are designed for astigmatism, and multifocal lenses can help with reading as well. We fit these and confirm clear, comfortable vision before you commit.

I have never worn contacts. Can you teach me?

Absolutely. We teach first-time wearers how to insert, remove, and care for lenses at a comfortable pace, and we follow up to make sure everything is going well.
