Contact Lens Fitting

Contact Lens Fitting

Professional fittings for comfortable, healthy contact lens wear tailored to your lifestyle.

Finding the right contact lenses involves more than just your prescription. Our detailed fitting process considers your eye shape, tear production, and daily activities to recommend the best lenses for you.

Richmond's humid climate can affect contact lens comfort, so we pay special attention to materials that maintain moisture. Whether you're a student at VCU spending long hours studying, a professional working in downtown offices, or someone who enjoys outdoor activities at James River Park, we'll find lenses that suit your routine.

We offer fittings for all types of contacts including daily disposables, toric lenses for astigmatism, multifocal options, and specialty lenses for challenging prescriptions. Follow-up visits ensure your lenses continue to fit properly and comfortably.
