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 Suburban Eye Care in Livonia 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 received vision therapy here at Suburban eye care. My vision was good, but my visual processing w... as among the worst cases. I had trouble driving, especially at night among other symptoms. (Binocular Vision disorder and eye turn). I received weekly therapy and did eye exercises daily. I improved dramatically. I recommend Suburban EyeCare for vision therapy. If you do the exercises you can improve you visual processing. I don't fear falling and I can drive at night now among other results.

I had a great experience working with Suburban Eye care and Amanda in VT. Before starting eye therap... y, I had been struggling for a long time with a variety of issues, including dry eyes and headaches, all of which started after I had LASIK surgery. I saw multiple specialists, but nothing seemed to help. After starting eye therapy, the results were truly transformative. One of the biggest changes for me has been my dry eyes. I used to have to use eye drops every 30 minutes, but because of the eye therapy, I haven’t needed to use them at all! The reduction in my headaches has been another huge improvement. I’m also amazed at how much my visual memory has improved, which I never expected to be related to my vision issues. The staff at this center is knowledgeable and supportive throughout the entire process. They do a great job at helping you understand the “why” behind the exercises and tailor activities to meet you where you’re at to ultimately reach your goals. I’m grateful for the progress I’ve made and would highly recommend this therapy to anyone struggling with similar issues.

High quality, thorough eye exams. Dr. Smith is excellent. Staff are excellent. Very accommodatin... g appointments. They've helped me with exams, glasses and occasional eye pain issues caused by foreign objects. I read another comment you can't get exams here and then take the script to Costco. I've done that, no problem. They were perfectly ok with that. One of a few places that offered vision therapy if you need that.

This was my first time here. Needed new prescription glasses. The whole staff were amazingly friend... ly and courteous. I saw Dr Yousif, very professional and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend this facility. Great prices for eyeglasses and contacts.

I see Dr. Arnold in this office. He's super patient and very knowledgeable, as is everyone I've inte... racted with here. Everyone is kind and willing to help. Dr. Arnold has also gone above and beyond, as far as I'm concerned. I was overthinking the eye exam (which is better, 1 or 2) and was struggling to get the proper prescription. Dr. Arnold helped by asking new questions and trying new methods to help in ways that worked better for my brain. I definitely appreciate all he has done, as well as all the staff, for making going to Suburban Eye Care a great experience.

We are so happy we decided to enroll our daughter in vision therapy. Before starting the program, s... he struggled with reading. Even with support from her teachers and school interventionist, her fluency remained slow. Since completing the program, we've seen tremendous improvement in her test scores, reading level, and—most importantly—her confidence. The therapy addressed not only eye tracking but also other essential skills that have helped her feel more successful in school. I highly recommend this program to any parent, and I especially recommend Suburban Eye Care. The team was responsive to all of my emails, questions, and concerns throughout the process. The program itself was engaging and hands-on, and the staff made it truly enjoyable. My daughter always looked forward to her sessions and never wanted to leave—they made learning fun! We are forever grateful for the growth and success our daughter has experienced.
