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 Memorial Eye Center - Wilcrest in Westside today.

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.

I have been coming to this optical place for the past 3 years. Dr Bui is such a wonderful and caring... doctor. She is very thorough in her exams to an accurate result with my glasses. The staff is friendly and Maggie gave me such an excellent service selecting my glasses and placing my order for them. Dino is also a very excellent person. I had him before and he is great as well. I’m very happy with my results at this place and I highly recommend it!

I’ve been going to Memorial Eye Care for a couple years now. They have great customer service; fro... m the front desk to the doctors, they make you feel at ease. Dr Bui is great. She takes her time to explain everything. I’ve moved away from the area but I’ll still drive an hour away for my eye exam. She genuinely cares about you and your eye health. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a new optometrist.

I had an amazing experience with Sandra Bui at Memorial Eye Center - Wilcrest. I woke up on a Saturd... ay with pain, blurry vision, redness, and light sensitivity in my left eye. I was concerned that nothing would be open, but found this place on google. I called and asked if they take walk-ins. The person on the phone was very accommodating and got me an appointment with-in the hour. I had little to no wait and was greeted by Dr. Bui. She was able to tell me exactly what was wrong and how I could fix it. She was so kind and explained everything thoroughly. I appreciated how she also explained everything to my family member and included them in the discussions. Dr. Bui even followed up on Monday to make sure I was doing better with a personal phone call. This was an easy and great experience for a not-so-fun situation. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Sandra Bui has been my optometrist for quite a few years now and her knowledge of optometry and ... rapport with patients is unmatched. I just visited her yesterday and my prescription hasn’t changed. I had a swift and seamless appointment and the office is good about reminders, sending emails, phone calls, and texts to make sure that your insurance has been verified and to know the reason behind your appointment so that you can be taken care of. I couldn’t ask for more in an office or in an eye doctor. Highly recommend Dr. Bui and her team!

Dr. Bui has something that too many other doctors don't have b/c apparently it's not taught in med s... chool; she has an amazing personality. She will also show you, without being technical or condescending, what your eyes are doing. I highly recommend her, and can't wait to see her in the coming months.
