    WE WANT CONTACT LENS WEAR TO BE A PLEASURABLE EXPERIENCE. To ensure you see good, feel good, and look good, we have policies that our office has found to minimize health risks. Please read. If these rules are not acceptable to you, you may want to choose a different office for your vision care.

    OUR POLICY

    1. We charge a fitting and follow-up fee. The fee is nominal. It covers our liability and responsibility to you. It is our only profit from the contact lens experience. We charge $131 for a new contact lens fitting and $105 for a contact lens refit. We spend valuable office time evaluating the fit of your lenses, making adjustments in the corrections, handling red eyes, and other contact lens related difficulties. We order, maintain, return, credit, and manage your products so you don’t have to. We charge a fee for the work we do.

    2. Contact lenses are a medical device. They are not a commodity that is purchased as if they were shoes. We offer expertise and over 28 years of experience. The fit and care of contact lenses involves constant maintenance. 50% of all wearers do not properly care for their lenses. Each contact lens fitting involves: shape, size, water content, bevels, edges, thickness, brand, type and physiological response.

    3. Routine visits are necessary. Weather you purchase the actual products from us or choose to shop for a better price, WE DO NOT ISSUE CONTACT LENS PRESCRIPTIONS unless you agree to routine follow-up care. To be familiar with your care and to personalize our care, we have found that ROUTINE CARE MINIMIZES HEALTH RISKS.
