The doctors use the newest technology to examine my eyes and helped me choose frames. The only sugge... stion I have is to explain to customers that the frameless glasses, while they are extremely flatteringl, they are fragile, so take extra care.I hope the mfg will come up with a stronger solution bc i cn be clumsy at times. thnk you.

Love my new glasses and sunglasses!! Received awesome service from the team and Dr. Holbrook (she's ... the absolute best in the business in my opinion). I would definitely recommend the doc, staff and location to everyone.
- Sep. 15, 2022
Great staff and the Doctor is excellent, I went there thru Zocdoc for a general eye exam, not to get... new lens prescription, the staff assumed I was there for lens prescription, I had to remind the Doctor assistant once inside that I was there for some non lens related things, they were able to adjust and I was quite amazed with how much time the Doctor spent with me patiently listening and advising, while quite a distance from where I live, I’ll go back and recommend to my family and friends.

Great experience. Prescription adjustment feels much better and closer to what it probably should’... ve been previously. The doctor wasn’t pushy with upselling that I’ve encountered in the the past. Thank you!

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?
