Discover the Freedom and Convenience of Contact Lenses

  • Need bifocal or multifocal contacts?
  • Rigid gas permeable or soft lenses?
  • Disposables, dailies or colored contacts?

Contact lenses give wearers a full field of focused vision no matter where you look. Because they move with your eyes, contacts help allow you to track action with sharp and clear peripheral vision. Moreover, if you lead an active lifestyle, contacts provide more freedom and flexibility to enjoy your favorite sports.

A contact lens exam will help us determine the perfect contact lens fit for your eyes and lifestyle!

What to Expect From Your Contact Lens Exam

  • Regular eye exam

    During your comprehensive eye exam your optometrist will check that your eyes are healthy and will test your vision to determine your contact lens prescription.

  • Contact lens consultation

    During your contact lens exam your optometrist will check for dry eye symptoms and consult with you to determine what type of contact lenses are the best fit for your lifestyle and vision needs.

  • Contact lens fitting

    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.


Where Can I Get a Contact Lens Exam?

The right contact lenses, carefully fitted and prescribed by your optometrist, can provide many benefits and prevent discomfort and eye disease.

Once you have determined the right contact lens, you can start enjoying the benefits and freedom of daily or regular contact lens wear.

We offer contact lens exams at our eye clinic and will help determine the best contact lenses for your needs and eye shape. Simply schedule your appointment by contacting Hermitage EyeCare in Hermitage today.

Contact Lens Exams FAQs

Can dry eye sufferers wear contact lenses?

Usually, yes. While some types of contact lenses can aggravate symptoms of dry eye syndrome, such as eye dryness, redness and irritation, other contacts are perfectly suitable for dry eyes. Speak with an eye doctor near you regarding your dry eye symptoms, and they'll prescribe the perfect contact lenses for ultimate comfort.

Can a child wear contact lenses?

It's a case-by-case basis. Typically, eye doctors don’t prescribe contacts to children under the age of 11 or 12, though there are exceptions. Wearing contact lenses requires responsible care, including cleaning and disinfecting routines. Most teenagers can handle contact lens care if they’re motivated to wear contacts.

Do I need an eye exam and prescription for tinted contact lenses?

Yes! Even if you’re just using contacts to change the color of your eyes, you still need an eye exam and a prescription. Contact lenses are a medical device and require fitting by an eye doctor.

They were extremely busy and short staffed when I went in but they made sure I knew I was being wait... ed on. My eye exam helped my vision tremendously and I really liked their glasses options. I will go back.

I went in for an eye exam (naturally) and was taken back by first, the atmosphere. It’s nice, clea... n, and very welcoming. The lady at the front desk was super sweet, cheerful, and made the checking in process go by very smoothly for a new patient. I was then taken back to the room by the technician. Her name is Misty. She is so fun! Her personality was great, her punctuality was on point. I then saw Dr Ditto, who in my opinion is the best at what she does. She’s very warm, super detailed, very thorough. After the exam I was greeted by a lady name Tasha, who helped me pick glasses that seem like that were made especially for me. She had no issue answering any question I had. She was exceptionally patient as I sent photos to my husband to help me pick the right ones. She and my husband actually chose the same pair. I was super comfortable at this establishment. If you’re needing an exam and wanting and needing that feel of being comfortable in every step possible, this is your place.

I am 73 years old and have been a patient of Dr. Hammond for close to 40 years. Of all of the numero... us medical doctors I have been to, Dr. Hammond is the most sincere and caring medical provider that has treated my medical needs. I had some really unique issues and many previous procedures with my eyes that made my case quite a challenge for any optomerist. Dr. Hammond diligently worked through my numerous vision issues and came up with an excellent solution utilizing some speciallly made rigid contact lens. My vision has been 20/20 for the past several years as a result of his care and treatment...... Dr. Hammond, I appreciate all of you diligent work with my vision needs for these many years and wish you nothing but the best during the next chapter of your life!
