Contact lens exams and fittings
Contact lenses, fitted and taught
A contact lens visit has two parts: the eye exam, and a fitting that checks how a lens sits on your eye.
Your prescription is yours. We give you a copy after your exam and fitting, and you can fill it anywhere. If a seller calls to verify your contact lens prescription, we confirm it.

About contact lenses
Can I buy my lenses somewhere else?
Yes. Your prescription is yours, and you can fill it with any seller. We confirm it when a seller calls.
Can I get a copy of my prescription?
Yes. We give you a copy of your contact lens prescription when your fitting is finished.
Can anyone wear contact lenses?
The doctor decides after your exam and explains the risks of lenses, including infection. Some eyes do better in glasses.
