Contact Lens Examinations
At Excel Eye Care of Texas, we enjoy helping people wear soft contact lenses, including astigmatism-correcting (toric) lenses, multifocal or monovision lenses, and lenses for post-surgical corneas. We are dedicated to your eye health and an enjoyable, comfortable contact lens experience.
There is a SEPARATE FEE FOR THE CONTACT LENS ASSESSMENT, which is typically $65 to $95, depending on the complexity of the assessment. The charge for this assessment is for the extra time, resources, expertise, and final decision making by the doctor. We must make the necessary measurements, analysis of your vision needs, the effects of contact lenses on your eye health, and only then do we make recommendations tailored to you from the most up-to-date technology. Contact lenses fit different people's eyes differently and the way they fit can change their effective power. This is one reason why the numbers for your contact lens prescription often do not exactly match those for your glasses. WE ONLY USE SOFT CONTACT LENSES IN OUR OFFICE and are happy to refer you to someone who still uses the rigid, plastic lenses for correction.
Contact lens prescriptions will expire 1 year from the date they are issued.
