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 Fishbaugh Family Eye Care in Lima 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 asked for reviews on Facebook for this location and most of my friends are on Facebook did not giv... e high recommendations. I was a little skeptical when I went today, but I found nothing wrong with the office or the doctor. I feel like the doctor did great with my four year-old son. My son was hyper. He didn’t understand all the doctors directions and he still did really well with him played games with him and made it a good experience for me. I have no complaints. This is the second doctor I went to and honestly, I had a better experience here than our last one.

Took my 15 mth old medical foster child for an appointment and Brandi made his needs a priority!! Br... andi is the reason he was scheduled here and will return for his future needs! Dr. Bankey was great with him and was really patient while trying to get the information for diagnosis, I would recommend her for anyone's Littles. Then there was Lindsay she was such a help with the little guy, he does not do well with new places or people. See you in a few months Ladies!!

Update, Brandy did awesome today. Answered all my questions and was able to help me understand some ... things that I was not understanding before my visit. The staff helped me with sunglasses and contacts. They had all the patients in the world To work with me and my eyelashes being in the way!!! Such an amqzing staff they have here. From the front desk staff to the nurse inside the room with the doctor to picking out glasses and contacts.and then trying contacts in. The doctor answered all of my questions and when I said I still don’t understand what the doctor was saying he slowed himself down and explained it to me. My eyes are dilated so I’m sorry if I misspelled the word or something does not make sense I really cannot see my phone Great Doctors, Sarah and Brandy the front desk clerks are extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and the nursing staff is always friendly and explained all my questions.
