Contact lenses

A contact lens fitting, one step at a time

A fitting is part exam, part lesson. Dr. Vang measures your eyes, you try lenses, and you leave knowing how to put them in, take them out and look after them.

  • Your contact lens prescription is yours: we give you a copy when your fitting is complete, and you can fill it anywhere.

From exam to follow-up

  1. 01

    Step 1: Exam

    A contact lens exam adds measurements of the front of the eye to a regular eye exam.

  2. 02

    Step 2: Trial lenses

    You try a pair in the office, and Dr. Vang checks how they sit and feel.

  3. 03

    Step 3: Lesson

    Putting them in, taking them out and caring for them, with an optician beside you.

  4. 04

    Step 4: Follow-up

    A short visit after you have worn them for a while, to check comfort and fit.
