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 Golden Vision Clinic, PC in Golden 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.

Rating reason is consistent exceptional service and care of my eyes since 2002. Dr. Baron keeps up ... with the latest testing technology and has directed me to his personally vetted specialists for eyelid surgery, tear duct repair and cataract surgery over the years. Overall, Golden Vision clinic and staff have all earned my utmost admiration and praise!

Dr. Rachel was wonderful- thoughtful, intelligent and took the time to explain. Patrick the technici... an was also great as well as the rest of the team. After my visit I came back 15 minutes later to ask a question I had forgotten and Dr Rachel and team had no problem taking the time to look into my questions without rushing. A++

It is hard for me to even describe how thankful I am for these folks. I was traveling and lost my gl... asses (which are very, very, very much needed) in a bit of a fiasco tubing in Golden. Golden Vision Clinic provided me with contacts when I was very panicked, couldn't see, and had nowhere else to go. While I don't visit this clinic for regular care, there is no question that they are incredibly helpful and kind, and in my case, life savers!!!

Spent 30 minutes calling around to find a place where I can test contacts, this was the only office ... that had a nice, friendly, and helpful person answer the phone! Turns out they offer good services as well and have done a great job helping me get what I need.

My glasses just had a little screw that had come loose, and these guys repaired it for me free of ch... arge. They also cleaned the glasses too which was nice. Overall with the little experience that I had with them, they seemed helpful and professional.
