Contact lens
exams.

Fittings for soft, toric, multifocal, and specialty contact lenses, with trial pairs so you can wear-test before committing to a year supply. First-time wearers welcome.

What to expect

Fitted by hand, not guesswork.

Contacts sit directly on your eye, so a good fit matters as much as the right prescription. A contact lens exam adds precise measurements and real-world wear testing on top of a standard vision check.

01

Comprehensive exam first

Every contact lens exam starts with a full look at your vision and eye health.

02

Measurements & fitting

We measure the curvature and surface of your eyes so your lenses fit precisely and comfortably.

03

Trial lenses

You leave with trial pairs from major brands, and new wearers learn insertion, removal, and care.

04

Follow-up & finalize

A short follow-up confirms the fit and finalizes your prescription before you order a supply.

Insurance & Trial Lenses

Contact lens exams start at $125. With insurance, the contact lens prescription is an additional charge based on your specific plan. We file most major medical and vision plans, including BlueCross BlueShield, VSP, EyeMed, Spectera, Humana, and Community Eye Care Plan. Contact lens exams include a separate fitting and follow-up, and we carry trial pairs of most major brands.

Common questions

Before your visit.

How is a contact lens exam different from a regular eye exam? +
It includes everything in a comprehensive exam, plus precise measurements of your eye surface, a fitting, and a follow-up visit to confirm your lenses fit well.
Can I try lenses before buying a year supply? +
Yes. We carry trial pairs of most major brands so you can wear-test your lenses in daily life before ordering.
I've never worn contacts. Can I start now? +
Absolutely. New wearers are welcome, and we walk you through insertion, removal, and care until you are comfortable.
How often should I replace my lenses? +
Follow the schedule for your specific lens type: daily, biweekly, or monthly. Wearing lenses past their schedule is a common cause of irritation and infection.

Ready when you are.
