Contact Lenses

Advancements in contact lens technology offer the potential for successful contact lens wear to most of our patients.

Contact lenses not only enhance visual acuity and appearance, but also improve performance in visual tasks and sports.

Because contact lenses are medical devices placed on the eyes, they require expert fitting and careful instruction, as well as conscientious care and compliance with recommended follow-up examinations to maintain the healthy functioning of your eyes. To insure your contact lens success, we would like to familiarize you with our contact lens procedures and policies

The Eye Exam

Before you can be fitted for contact lenses, a complete medical and refractive examination is necessary. This exam is critical to assuring the good health of your eyes and ruling out the possibility of any unsuspected, underlying condition which may prevent contact lens use. If contact lenses are feasible, the complete eye exam will help us select the most appropriate lens material and design.

Contact Lens Fitting

The goal of contact lens fitting is to find the most appropriate contact lens for your optimal comfort and vision. An enormous variety of types, styles, materials, sizes and colors are offered. We are committed to taking the time and making the effort to fit you properly. Although many patients need only one fitting session, some require several appointments. In our experience, the extra time, effort and patience are very worthwhile, both for your ultimate satisfaction and the health of your eyes.

Insertion and Removal Training Session

During the appointment, our technicians will provide personalized instruction in the safe care and usage of your new lenses. Should further time be required, we will be happy to schedule an additional session (without charge). Upon completion of a successful insertion and removal session, you may begin wearing your lenses and we will schedule your first follow-up appointment.

Follow-up Appointments

One or more follow-up appointments will be necessary to assure that your contact lenses continue to fit well and your eyes remain healthy. Charges for follow-up visits during the first six months are included in the contact lens fitting fee.

Ordering Contact Lenses

Contact lenses can be ordered at any time after the fitting is complete. You can order as many lenses as you would like; up to an annual supply. For your safety, we are not able to refill prescriptions more than one year old without another exam. Written prescription will be given at your request and will expire up to 12 months after your last exam date. Rosin Eyecare offers most major manufacturers brands of contact lenses and proudly carry lenses by Ciba Vision, CooperVision and Bausch & Lomb as well as a full array of rigid gas permeable lenses as well as specialty lenses for keratoconus and other eye conditions.
