Contact lens exam + fitting · $195 · 60 min
A contact lens is a medical device you wear on living tissue for sixteen hours a day. The fitting exists so it fits. The brand on the box matters less than the numbers underneath it.
The fitting, in order
A full eye exam plus keratometry, the curvature numbers a safe fit is built on. Contacts sit on your cornea, so we measure it instead of guessing.
You leave wearing trial lenses matched to your measurements and your actual day: screen hours, sports, air conditioning and all.
New wearers practise putting lenses in, taking them out and caring for them with Marcus until it’s boring. Nobody leaves until it’s easy, and that’s included.
We check the fit on your eye, confirm your vision holds through a full day, and only then finalize the prescription and order your supply.
We prescribe by lens design and material rather than pushing one brand. Your prescription is portable, and we’ll hand you a copy without being asked. Fitting fees pay for the professional work, so they apply wherever you buy your lenses afterwards.
What we fit
A fresh sterile lens every morning. Nothing to clean, nothing to store.
The honest read The healthiest way to wear contacts, and what we fit first when it suits your prescription. They cost more per year than monthlies, and we’ll show you both numbers.
One pair per month, with nightly cleaning and a proper case routine.
The honest read Economical and excellent if you’re disciplined about care. If you know you’ll cut corners on cleaning, dailies are the safer spend.
Stabilized lenses that correct astigmatism, in daily and monthly options.
The honest read Modern torics fit far better than their reputation. Expect one extra visit to confirm the lens sits steady.
Distance and reading correction in one lens, for people over 45.
The honest read They involve a trade-off: most wearers give up a little distance sharpness for near vision. About three in four adapt happily, and we’ll tell you within two visits if you’re in the other quarter.
Keratoconus, corneas after surgery, severe dry eye: scleral and custom lenses.
The honest read We handle some specialty fits and refer the rest to a colleague who does them daily. You’ll get a straight answer about which group you’re in at the assessment.
Fitting fees
Trials, the teach session, and the follow-up are included. The specialty assessment is credited toward the fitting if we proceed.
Wear them well
Never sleep in lenses that aren’t designed for it.
Overnight wear in daytime lenses multiplies infection risk. No exceptions for “just a nap.”
Water and lenses don’t mix.
No showers, no swimming, no rinsing the case under the tap. Tap water carries organisms that like corneas.
A red, painful eye means the lens comes out. Then you call us.
Same-day room is held daily for exactly this. Book an urgent visit or call. Don’t wait it out.
