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 Ducklo EyeCare in Midtown today.

All of the staff treated me very nice, they all went above and beyond to make sure all my needs and ... wants were met. They helped solved a insurance issue for me in a timely manner and got me on the schedule within just a few days after even though this facility is booked up pretty much for months. I greatly appreciate that. Also, shout out the the woman who helped me pick out and fit me for glasses. She went and picked out what she thought I would like, I tried them all on and and she nailed it I had a hard time deciding which to pick. But I finally made my decision and she got me priced and the order ready for me. All in all this has been the best eye exam experience I've ever had and I will definitely be coming back here from now on.

Great staff, both medical and administrative. Wait times are sometimes a little long, but my eye exa... ms are always thorough. Been going here for many years.

I've been seeing Dr. Ducklo since the 1980s, but I had an urgent concern and had to see Dr. Blair So... lomon, which turned out to be just as satifactory. Everyone was friendly, reassuring, and Dr. Solomon clearly explained what was happening while making sure I knew PVD is something that happens to virtually everyone as they age.

Been going to Ducklo EyeCare for almost 30 years. Always felt comfortable and welcome by Dr. Ducklo... and his staff. The best and most thorough eye exam had always come from Dr. Ducklo.

After not being able to see without double vision due to keratoconus for 40 years, I am elated and b... eside myself. I was introduced to Scalaral lenses. I cried and laughed and freaked out a little when Two images merged into one. Thank you Ducklo for changing my life

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.
