Whether you're being fitted for your first pair of contact lenses or already wear them and want to find out what new lens options are available, the Contact Lens Department at The Eye Clinic offers the expertise, service and selection you are looking for. The field is always changing, and today just about everyone can wear contact lenses because there are many different types of lenses to fit any type of lifestyle. At The Eye Clinic, we're committed to providing you with quality products and service from the time of your eye exam through your contact lens fitting. If you are interested in wearing contact lenses, the first thing you need to do is have a complete eye exam. You must do this even if you don't normally wear glasses, and just want contacts to change your eye color. It's important to realize that contact lenses are medical devices designed specifically for your eye and need to be properly fitted by an eyecare practitioner. In the U.S., contacts can only be legally purchased with a valid written prescription. Even though just about everyone can wear contacts, a contact lens exam can tell if you're one of the few who can't and your doctor will be able to discuss the lens options that would work best to correct your vision.
