For ideal vision correction and comfort, contact lenses must fit well. Your optometrist will examine the size and shape of your cornea and pupil to ensure the right fit.

Contact lens trial and follow-up
Your optometrist will insert trial lenses and ask you to keep them on for 15-20 minutes to be sure the fit is comfortable and vision is clear. After a few days, you'll come in for a follow-up evaluation.

I’m in love with this place! I have had some terrible experiences elsewhere and they have went above... Show More and beyond making my experience awesome. The minute I walked in they offer you coffee or water and the people are just so friendly it’s a treat to be able to be treated like a human being instead of just worrying how much you are going to spend! The exam was awesome though and definitely done right. The woman who helped me pick out glasses was the best she even introduced me to the owner and he was so down to earth. This business hands down is number one!
