Comprehensive Contact Lens Exams at Our Optical Eye Center
Southwest Florida Eye Care strives to meet all your eye and vision care needs. Our optometrists provide corrective lens evaluations and prescription management at our optical eye center. Once your eye and vision exam is complete, our optometrist will walk you through a range of contact lens options—carefully matched to your visual needs, comfort preferences, and daily lifestyle.
If dry eyes, allergies, or frequent infections are part of your story, let our team help you explore whether contact lenses are still the right fit—or if an alternative may better support your eye health.
Personalized Contact Lens Fitting for Every Lifestyle
No two pairs of eyes are alike, and neither are two lifestyles. That’s why our contact lens fitting process is built around you. Whether you spend long hours in front of a screen, live an active outdoor lifestyle, work in a dusty or air-conditioned environment, or simply want occasional wear for special events, we match your contact lenses to how you actually live.
From athletes needing secure, high-oxygen lenses to professionals seeking all-day comfort, our optometrists consider every detail to deliver a fit that feels effortless.
Advanced Evaluation for the Perfect Fit
Every great contact lens fitting starts with understanding your eyes. Before recommending contact lenses, our optometrist carefully evaluates the exact level of correction your vision requires—setting the stage for a truly personalized fit. Our optometrist first pinpoints the exact type and level of vision correction you need—whether you’re nearsighted, farsighted, or dealing with astigmatism. Using advanced tools such as a phoropter or an automated refractor, we measure how your eyes respond to different lens powers. This precision testing helps us tailor your contact lenses for crystal-clear vision and all-day comfort. To schedule an appointment for a vision evaluation with our optometrist, call (239)768-0006 today.
Types of Contact Lenses We Offer
After determining the level of refractive correction needed, our optometrist works with you to determine whether contact lenses or glasses are the best fit for your lifestyle. If you suffer from certain conditions, such as dry eye or allergies, glasses may be the most comfortable corrective solution. Contact lenses come in two main styles: soft and rigid.
Contact lenses aren’t one-size-fits-all—they come with different replacement schedules like daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, depending on what suits your eyes and lifestyle best. Beyond standard lenses, there are also specialized options such as bifocal and multifocal lenses, perfect for those with more complex vision needs such as presbyopia or astigmatism.
Our optical center offers a wide range of lens types, including:
- Daily disposable lenses – ideal for convenience and hygiene
- Bi-weekly and monthly lenses – cost-effective for regular wearers
- Toric lenses – specifically designed to correct astigmatism
- Multifocal and bifocal lenses – for those with presbyopia or age-related vision changes
- Rigid gas-permeable (RGP) lenses – excellent for sharper vision and certain corneal conditions
- Scleral lenses – a specialty option for dry eye sufferers and irregular corneas
- Colored and cosmetic lenses – to enhance or change your eye color safely

When to Schedule a Contact Lens Eye Exam
How do you know it’s time to book your next contact lens eye exam? If any of the following sound familiar, it’s time to visit our optical eye center:
- Your current prescription is more than a year old
- You’re experiencing blurry vision, even with your lenses on
- Your eyes feel dry, itchy, or irritated when wearing contacts
- You notice redness, sensitivity to light, or discharge
- You’ve never worn contact lenses, but are considering switching from glasses
- You want to explore specialty lenses for astigmatism, presbyopia, or dry eye
It is recommended that contact lens wearers have a comprehensive eye exam at least once a year to monitor eye health and update prescriptions. Even if your vision seems fine, annual exams help detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration, conditions that often develop silently.
Don’t wait until discomfort or vision problems disrupt your day. Schedule your contact lens eye exam today by calling (239) 768-0006 or booking online.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a regular eye exam and a contact lens exam?
A regular exam checks vision and eye health. A contact lens exam includes additional tests, such as corneal measurements and tear evaluation, to ensure lenses fit safely and comfortably.
Can I wear contacts with astigmatism, dry eye, or presbyopia?
Yes. Toric lenses correct astigmatism, multifocal lenses help with presbyopia, and specialty lenses can improve comfort for dry eyes. Your optometrist will recommend the best option.
Do you offer trial contact lenses?
Yes. Trial lenses let you test comfort and clarity while your optometrist checks the fit and makes adjustments before finalizing your prescription.
What happens during my first fitting?
It starts with an eye exam, followed by eye measurements. You’ll learn how to use and care for lenses and usually leave with a trial pair.
Are contact lenses safe long-term?
Yes, when used properly. Follow hygiene guidelines and your wear schedule, and attend regular exams. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also recommends proper care to prevent infections.
