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 Visionary Optometry - Dr. Micah Girard in Cocoa 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.

Love the staff at Visionary Optometry! Dr. Girard is an excellent eye doctor.

This place is it! I felt so welcomed and comfortable. I was worried about keeping my appointment bec... ause my babysitter canceled on me. They not only welcomed the idea of me bringing my 4-year-old but they also had a play area to keep her entertained as I filled out my information on a user-friendly tablet. We started our appointment immediately afterward. Everyone we interacted with was kind and professional, especially the doctor. He was thorough in his exam and ensured I had no doubts. The shopping experience for glasses was surprisingly affordable, and the assistant helped me understand all my options, leaving me satisfied and happy. I highly recommend this optometry practice and can't SEE going anywhere else (pun intended).

Absolutely wonderful, my only regret is I had not gone here earlier. Don't put off your eye exam an... d I would not go any place other than here. Once you try this office you will never go anywhere else. I know I have received the top notch eye exam by an eye doctor who surpasses any words I could use in my recommendation.

Dr Girard and his staff are outstanding! I’ve been a patient of theirs for many years. I have my r... outine eye exams done every year and have bought many sets of glasses for them. They always remember me and treat me with kindness. Special shout out to Casey. She is SO sweet and helpful! Every time I order glasses or just need an adjustment, she does it with a smile and sense of humor. This type of customer service can be rare these days but very much appreciated. THANK YOU!! Dr Girard you have a long time patient who recognizes excellence in your services and staff.
