Contact lens fittings
Contact lenses fitted to your week
Two optometrists in Lee's Summit fit soft, toric, multifocal and specialty lenses. You take a trial pair home before you order, and the prescription is yours to fill anywhere.

Lens types
Four kinds of contact lenses, one fitting visit
Pick a tab to see what each type is for. The doctor recommends one after measuring your eyes and hearing how you wear lenses.
Soft lenses
Flexible lenses that rest on the front of your eye. Most people start here. They come as dailies you throw away each night, or as two-week and monthly lenses you clean and store.
Soft lens fittingsDaily, two-week and monthly schedules
A spare pair is easy to carry
Checked at a trial visit before you order
Toric lenses
For astigmatism. A toric lens has different powers in different directions and is shaped to stay in position when you blink. The fit takes a little more care, so there is always a check visit.

Soft and rigid versions
Multifocal lenses
For eyes that need help with both near and far, which often starts in the 40s. A multifocal lens has more than one power zone, and the doctor chooses the design for your work and hobbies. Some people adapt in days and some need a second try.

Monovision is another option the doctor can explain
Results vary from person to person
Specialty lenses
Rigid gas permeable, hybrid and scleral lenses, for corneas that soft lenses don't fit well, such as an irregular cornea or keratoconus, or when soft lenses haven't worked for you. Fittings take several visits.

Results vary. The doctor decides which lens is right for you after an exam.
Trial-lens policy
Try a pair before you order
Every fitting ends the same way: you wear a trial pair in your own week, then we check how it went before anything is ordered.
Measure and fit
We measure the curve and size of your eye, check the surface, and choose a first lens. Plan on about an hour with the exam.
Take a trial pair home
You leave with a trial pair and written wear and care steps. Wear them through a normal week: work, a workout, a drive at dusk.
Come back for a check
A short visit after a week or two. The doctor looks at how the lenses fit and move. If something is off, we change the lens and try another before you order.
Finalize and take your prescription
When the fit is right we write your contact lens prescription and give you a copy. Order from us or from anyone else.
Your prescription
Your contact lens prescription is yours
When your fitting is finished we give you a copy of the prescription. You don't have to ask, and you don't have to buy lenses from us. Take it to any seller you like.
Tell us about your week
The fitting starts with how you live
Your week shapes the lens we choose. Bring the details to your visit.
Long drives
Night driving, glare and dry air in the car are worth mentioning. The doctor can adjust the lens or the wear schedule.
Screens all day
Many people blink less at a screen and notice their lenses more by afternoon. Tell us how long your workday is.
Weekends away
Hiking, flying or a long weekend: a spare pair and a plan for lens care travel with you. We go over it at the trial visit.
How fees work
A contact lens visit is billed in parts
The exam, the fitting and the lenses are separate, and different plans pay for different parts.
A routine exam usually goes to a vision plan
A visit for an eye problem, or a lens fitted for a medical reason, may go to medical insurance
The fitting fee and the lenses are billed separately from the exam
If you pay yourself, you get a written estimate first
Your doctors
Two optometrists, one fitting room

Questions
Before you book a fitting
Do I get to try lenses before I order?
Yes. Every fitting includes a trial pair to wear in your own week, and a check visit before we order a full supply.
Can I sleep in my contact lenses?
Only if the doctor has fitted lenses made for it and told you to. Most lenses are not meant for sleep, so ask us at your fitting.
I have astigmatism. Can I still wear contacts?
Often, yes. Toric lenses are made for astigmatism. The doctor measures your eyes and checks the fit at the trial visit.
Can I get my contact lens prescription?
Yes. When the fitting is finished we give you a copy, and you can order lenses from anyone.
Will my plan pay for contact lenses?
It depends on the plan. Many vision plans pay toward lenses, and some medical plans cover specialty fittings. We check yours before the visit.
How much will a fitting cost?
It depends on your plan and the type of lens. The front desk checks your plan and tells you before the visit. How fees work explains what each part covers.
