Contact Lens Fittings & Free Evaluations

Home \ Eyecare Services \ Well Vision Services \ Contact Lens Fittings & Free Evaluations

After we evaluate your visual needs, vision, and the health of the front part of your eye, we will:

  • Discuss all contact lens options open to you
  • Recommend the most suitable contact lens and wearing modality for your needs
  • Put trial lenses on your eyes so you can see what they're like
Then, you are able to make an informed decision on your goal of wearing contact lenses
We fit all types of contact lenses including:
  • soft spherical lenses
  • soft toric lenses
  • gas permeable spherical lenses
  • gas permeable front surface toric lenses
  • gas permeable bitoric lenses
  • multi-focal soft and gas permeable lenses
  • the new Synergeyes hybrid lens 
  •  lenses for keratoconus
  • lenses for corneal transplant patients. 
We are pleased to accept all hard to fit patients.
 
The most popular wearing modalities in our practice are dailies, lenses that you wear for a day and dispose of, or 30day/30 night lenses that most people wear for a month straight. Dailies are great for those patients who don’t plan to wear their lenses much more than two to three times per week. For patients who want to wear their contacts more, the 30 day/ 30night lenses tend to be more cost efficient. Although they are designed and marketed for extended wear, there is no law that says you can’t remove them nightly. Having said that there is a lot to be said for simplicity and this is closest thing we can do to LASIK, short of actually doing LASIK on you.
 
Our contact lens fitting fee covers the initial fitting of the contact lenses, training (including insertion, removal and care of the lenses), and all follow-up visits up to three months. More importantly, all trial lenses used during the fitting period are included. The fitting fee tends to be a onetime charge. Normal prescription changes are taken care of as part of the normal six month contact lens checks. The only time you would ever be charged another fitting fee is if you changed modality (distance to mono-vision, soft to hard lenses, sphere to astigmatic lenses, etc.). In these cases we usually just charge you the difference between what we originally charged you and what we would have charged if we were fitting you from scratch.
