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 Family Vision Center - Kingwood in Kingwood today.

Kingwood Family Vision took care of my eye needs and I felt that they went above and beyond my expec... tations. Dr Mark took time explaining to me what he was doing and comparing during the eye exam. He was meticulous in recording the data properly as I was switching from progressive lenses back to two pairs of single vision (reading and normal vision) distance glasses. As I had and eye tear before, he also looked inside the eye checking my condition. The technicians were very patient explaining to both my wife and I what our options were, the cost associated with each option and the expected time to delivery. We were both very satisfied patients and customers.

Family Vision Center is so wonderful. I have seen all of the Drs there and they are all excellent. D... r Mark Anderson diagnosed a problem with my husband’s eye that no other Dr or eye professional had been able to diagnose. The facilities are clean and well stocked. The staff are all polite and professional and knowledgeable. I’ve never had to wait very long. Heartily recommend Family Vision Center.

I've been seeing the physicians at Family Vision for several years and have always had a positive ex... perience. I have very different issues with my vision due to medical reasons and they have been above and beyond in helping me find prescription glasses and eye care, giving me quality care and a huge assortment of options that work for me. I highly recommend them.

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.
