Family Vision Care
Contact Lenses
At Family Vision Care, we fit all soft and rigid gas permeable lenses. This includes specialty lenses for those with astigmatism, bifocals and hard to fit patients. With our thorough evaluation we can determine which contact lens modality is best for your visual needs.
We use all major brand contact lenses such as Acuvue, Surevue, Focus, Hydrasoft Toric, Biomedics, to name a few. We have some brands of soft contact lenses in stock, and those we don't carry can often be shipped in 1-2 days.
How do I know if I'm ready for contact lenses?
If you would like to find out whether or not you would be able to wear contact lenses for everyday or occasional wear, we would be happy to provide a contact lens evaluation at the time of your exam. A contact evaluation involves tests and procedures beyond those performed during a standard comprehensive eye examination. These specialized tests and procedures will allow us to determine if your eyes are suited for lens wear. Your eye and general health will be evaluated for any conditions which may not allow for safe lens wear.
After the contact lens evaluation, a contact lens fitting will determine the type and measurements of the most suitable contact lens for you. Our goal is to find the best possible fit to ensure optimum vision, comfort and safety with your new contact lenses. A series of important follow-up visits have been designed to maintain continuous eye health, accurate contact lens fit and optimum vision acuity. During these visits, any necessary lens changes or prescription changes are advised.
Disposable Soft Contact Lenses
Disposable soft contact lenses in general are a healthier lens choice when compared to conventional daily wear lenses. Disposable lenses virtually eliminate the experience of gradual deterioration, discomfort, irritation, or eye infections from contact lens use. With disposables, you will always experience fresh contact lenses. Not only are these lenses more comfortable, they are more convenient and quite cost effective.

What is the difference between our glasses and High-Volume stores?
Private practitioners, such as Family Vision Care, are favored by lens manufacturers. Many lens manufacturers want to ensure that patients receive the best vision care possible and provide only the private practitioners with the highest quality, state-of-the-art lens designs and materials. These lens designs and materials are not offered to high-volume retailers, so many of these retailers create their own, often at the expense of the best clarity and quality since they do not have rights to the patents the quality lens manufacturers own.
