Contact Lens Examination Policy

Eye examinations for contact lenses include special testing and measurements typically not performed during routine eye examinations but are provided at an additional charge. The doctor determines the contact lens fitting fees, which are due at the time of fitting and are non-refundable.

During your examination, a refraction (measuring your eyeglass prescription) is necessary for any contact lens evaluation, refitting, or fitting services. Your vision insurance may cover this. If your refraction is not covered, you will be charged $49.00. In addition to any contact lens service fees. Fitting fees cover additional follow-up visits for up to 90 days, if necessary.

If you are seen after 90 days, you will be responsible for a new refraction fee, if necessary, and a new fitting charge. For new contact lens patients, you will be instructed on proper insertion, removal, and care for your contact lenses. A set of trial contact lenses to wear for the next few weeks will be provided. A follow-up appointment may be required for us to finalize your prescription.

Contact lens prescriptions are valid for only one year and require a yearly evaluation to renew them, even if there has been no change. This is to ensure that the lenses are still properly fitting, make any adjustments if needed, and protect your eyes' health. At your yearly contact lens examination, please wear your lenses at least two hours before the visit.

Contact lens fitting fees do not include a supply of contact lenses. Our office will provide you with your prescription and will be happy to order the contact lens supply for your continued wear.

The prices of contact lenses will vary depending on lens type and prescription. Some contact lenses are unavailable as complementary trial lenses and may require prior purchase. Your order of contact lenses must be paid in full at the time of dispensing once the fitting is completed. If changes are made in contact lens parameters, soft contact lens boxes that are unopened, in good condition, and within the expiration date may be exchanged or credited at the discretion of the doctor. Rigid contact lenses can be returned within 30 days for credit.

I have read and understand the above information and agree to the terms outlined in this agreement. I understand that contact lens fitting fees are non-refundable. I also acknowledge that I have had all my questions answered.
