Contact Lens Fittings

Contact Lens Fittings

Professional fittings to ensure comfortable, healthy contact lens wear.

Proper contact lens fitting is essential for comfort and eye health. Our optometrists evaluate your cornea’s shape and size to recommend the best lens type for your needs.

Richmond’s humidity can affect contact lens comfort. We consider these factors when selecting materials and care solutions. Whether you’re active in Monument Avenue events or work long hours in Scott’s Addition tech firms, we’ll find lenses that fit your lifestyle.

We offer fittings for standard, toric (astigmatism), multifocal, and specialty lenses. Follow-up visits ensure your lenses continue to fit properly and comfortably.
