The fitting

Part science. Part art.

A contact lens exam is the first step in the fitting process.

Dr. Johnson runs several diagnostic steps to find the right type of lens for you. The fitting adds tests beyond a regular eye exam, setting you up in diagnostic lenses, and all follow-up care.

Before you come in, think about your goals. Contacts for a specific vision problem? For sports? Trouble touching your eyes? Want to change your eye color? Dr. Johnson will ask questions like these to find the best type of lens for you.

How it works

Try them. Live in them. Then we finalize.

Try a pair today

We stock diagnostic lenses, so you can try lenses at your first contact lens exam. New wearers also get training on insertion, removal and cleaning.

Wear them for a week

After more testing, you take the diagnostic lenses home for about a week.

Follow up

At the follow-up, Dr. Johnson checks how the lenses work with your eyes and finalizes the prescription. Sometimes another follow-up is needed for the most accurate, comfortable vision.

When you book, tell us you're interested in contacts so we can allow extra time for the fitting. An additional fee for the contact lens evaluation may apply, depending on the level of difficulty.
