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 Family Eye Care Services in Pawtucket today.

I want for people to know about my experience here. I made and appointment there because they had a ... no wait ( not 2 weeks like others) They were prompt when I went in there and nothing but smiles from employees.

As an Advocate for a disabled teen, I went into the office just before closing with a pair of broken... glasses. Today was the first day of school and the teen I was helping started her first day at a new high school without being able to see. The Special Ed Team Leader asked me to help her get her glasses fixed. I said I would try my best. I found out that the teen has an appointment in a few weeks to get new glasses. I walked in with a pair of broken glasses and in 10 minutes walked out with perfect glasses! This teen will be so happy when we pick her up for school tomorrow with new glasses! A compassionate office and a staff member that saw a great need and filled it. Very professional in my book! Tomorrow they are getting homemade chocolate chip cookies! Thank you Family Eye Care!

Few weeks ago I called and I had the worst customer service ever, the lady that answered my call was... so rude. So I gave it another shot called back and spoke to Beliza which was so pleasant over the phone. Mercedes helped help me out ordering the frames that I wanted. If it wasn’t for Beliza and Mercedes I would’ve took my money elsewhere.

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.
