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 Fulghum Optometry in Lakeshore 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.

Dr. Nason and the front desk staff are incredible. I came in with Facial Paralysis, and not being ab... le to close my eye due to Ramsay Hunt Syndrome. Not only does Dr. Nason have unparalleled knowledge and expertise, his patience, communicative ability, and ability to work with me through this difficult time is truly great. Dr. Nason was willing to talk to me after hours, and helped me during ongoing blurry vision issues. When my insurance wasn't working (we just moved to Florida), Dr. Nason took care of me financially. My family and I have been so thankful for this business and Dr. Nason. It is rare that someone with such ability and skill is also a very nice person, and truly CARES about the patient. We have never experienced this level of care.

Thank you Dr. Nason for your warmth, professionalism and patience. The staff at Fulghum Optometry p... rovided an A+ Service. The location overlooks the Ortega River and the office setting is clean and tastefully decorated with art work, comfy chairs and a selection of eye ware. I'm particularly thankful for Jeff, the optician, for assisting me with the selection of eyewear that was aesthetically pleasing as well as functional.

I had an appointment with Dr Mason on 6.23.25, for a second opinion. I have had 3 different types of... glasses made from my current Optomologist and my vision is blurry. Dr Mason's examination was very thorough and extensive. During his testing I could see so clear and it felt so good. I will be coming back to Dr Mason in the future. I was very impressed with his entire office. Dr Mason is very nice and so knowledgeable and thorough.....very impressed. Gabby was awesome as well as Jeff. They were both very kind, knowledgeable and thorough in their areas of expertise. The office is also very nice and the location is in a great fun area.
