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 Malbar Vision - Orchard in South-West Omaha 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.

All the staff here is so great! I normally see Dr. Cain, who is very nice. This time I saw Dr. Barge... ll, who's also very nice and thorough. He got me set up with a dry eye eval and had some product recommendations for relief as well. Mark called me the day after my appointment to let me know they had gone above and beyond to double check my insurance's fine print and get better lenses covered for me! Truly outstanding kindness & client service. Tammy at the front desk is always so welcoming and kind, too. I didn't catch the name of the optician, but she was really funny and sweet and did a great job helping me pick glasses! We bonded over animal shirts - I have a yeehaw frog and she has a silly goose. Overall the whole staff it really great. I bet it's a good place to work, and that's the highest compliment.

Staff is friendly, fast and great at what they do! Got myself a new pair and they were able to help ... get it under to where my insurance covered it all! Got transitional, polarized. The whole thing! Been going here for years and they'll always be my suggested choice. Hoping some day they get their own building instead of being off on the corner of one of the busiest streets. But that's alright!

I do not use them for my eye exams because of other medical matters and the preference of my primary... care doctor to use in network. I have gotten my frames and lenses there though. Not one problem.
