Contact lens fittings

Soft lenses

Soft lenses are flexible and rest on the front of your eye. They are the most common first lens, and they come in daily, two-week and monthly schedules.

Who it is for

  • First-time wearers

  • Adults who want lenses for sport, travel or a long workday

  • Anyone coming back to contacts after a break

  • People who like a fresh lens every day

    You wear the trial pair for a week or two, then come back so the doctor can check the fit.

Before you come

Billing and what to bring

  • How it is billed

    The exam goes to the plan that pays for it, and the fitting, the trial pair and the lenses are quoted separately. The front desk checks your benefits before the visit and gives you a written estimate if you pay yourself.

    How fees work
  • What to bring

    Your current glasses and contact lenses, with the cases. Your vision plan and medical insurance cards. A photo ID. Questions about your week.

Questions

Questions about soft lenses

Which schedule is easiest?

Dailies need no cleaning, since you throw them away at night. Two-week and monthly lenses cost less per day but need a cleaning routine. The doctor helps you choose.

Can I wear soft lenses if I have dry eyes?

Sometimes. Tell the doctor at the exam. The material, the schedule and a rewetting plan can change how lenses feel.

How long until I can wear them all day?

The doctor sets your schedule at the fitting. Many people build up over the first week, and the check visit confirms it.
