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 Foster Vision in Mount Scott - Arleta 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.

Great place! Friendly, knowledgeable doctor & staff. In and out in under an hour for the initial ap... pointment. The glasses I picked up fit perfectly!

They’re the best I’ve been going there since my daughter was seven years old so I’ve never had... any problems. They’ve always helped me and they’ve always given My Daughter the right prescription and they know her so well so it’s I love them.

Excellent service, amazing and efficient

I was laid off and now I’m on OHP and they don’t normally take it but they made an exception for... me so I don’t have to find a new optometrist until I find a new job. That made my life so much easier.

Admittedly I’m an easy patient with a relatively consistent prescription throughout the years, but... I do really enjoy Foster Vision. I used to live very close to it and have since moved away, and every time I go to a different optometrist that is closer to me I dislike it for one reason or another and wind up making the drive down from Vancouver to go back to Foster Vision. They seem like they take what I say into account more than other doctors I’ve worked with, which tends to result in glasses that better suit my needs (that don’t wind up giving me headaches/hurting my eyes/making me dizzy/etc like prescriptions from other doctors do). I will say that this most recent time I went was my first experience having a computer do most of the “eye exam” work and the doctor doing very little (like one minute to confirm what the computer said?) which was a little off putting. We will see if the automation of their exams changes the accuracy of their prescriptions this time around.

Very friendly, efficient staff and service. Been coming here since shortly after they opened.

I'm so glad we found Foster Vision! Dr. Tong knows her stuff, and I have been fitted by two technici... ans for eyeglasses (once a couple years ago and once more recently). Both times I felt completely at ease, and loved how they just knew what would look good on my face. I have a pair of red glasses I wouldn't have considered w/out their help, and am so happy with the choice! You will be in good hands here.
