A contact lens examination is a yearly assessment of your eyes that involves fitting you with a pair of contact lenses and adjusting the power and fit of the lenses to optimize your health and vision. Contact lenses can be fit for distance vision, near vision, or a combination of both near and distance (a “multifocal” design). After a comprehensive exam has been performed, our eye doctors will try a pair of contacts on you and adjust the fit and power as needed. We like our patients to try their lenses for about a week to make sure that they are comfortable and work well to meet your specific visual needs. A follow-up visit can be scheduled at no cost to make any necessary adjustments. At Vista Eye Care in Thornton, Colorado, we offer affordable contact lens fittings without any add-on fees. You won’t have to pay for contact lens follow-up visits or training fees. If you are a first-time contact lens wearer, we will teach you how to insert, remove, and care for your lenses. We will even provide you with a contact lens case and cleaning solution! Among the types of lenses we fit:
- Soft Lenses – For myopia, hyperopia, and presbyopia.
- Toric Lenses – Soft lenses for correction of astigmatism.
- Multifocal Lenses – Allows for simultaneous distance and near viewing while still permitting depth perception.
