“How much do contacts cost?”
A general cost for contacts can be difficult to estimate without knowing what brand your lenses are, what insurance you have, and how many contacts you purchase at a time. For the best quote, please call our office and ask to speak to a Technician.
“Can I sleep in my contacts?”
There is a brand of contacts that is FDA approved for extended wear but we do not recommend you sleep in your contacts. Sleeping in your contacts can lead to increased dryness and visual acuity issues.”
“Can I swim/shower in my contacts?”
Generally speaking, it is best to avoid wearing your contacts while showering or swimming, since this can trap bacteria in your eyes and cause infections. It is always best to consult your Optometrist before swimming in your contacts.
“How do I submit a rebate after my purchase?”
At the time of your purchase, our office will give you a copy of a rebate form. You can scan the QR code on the form to submit your rebate request. Please make sure to have a copy on hand of your exam and contacts invoice, as well as the box 0f contacts. The rebate should walk you through the process, but if you have further questions, please reach out to the customer support number listed on your rebate form.
“Should I have a pair of back-up glasses?”
Having a spare pair of glasses is vital to the health of your eyes! It is very important to have glasses to ensure you are not over-wearing your contact lenses. Over-wearing your contacts can cause many issues, including dryness and infections. Having a “breather” pair of glasses keeps your eyes moist and healthy.
“My vision isn’t ‘perfect’ in my contacts but it’s better in my glasses. Is this normal?”
In glasses, the optics are much more precise than contacts. It is normal to experience slight blurriness in contacts in comparison to your glasses, but you should always verify with your Optometrist if you are experiencing blurry vision in your contact lenses.
“Why is my contacts RX different from my glasses RX?”
Since contact lenses sit directly on your cornea and are a different material from your glasses lenses, the RX is typically slightly different. This is completely normal.
