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 Advanced Eye Care Professionals in Oak Lawn 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 have been seeing Casey for over 20 years. I would follow her anywhere. I drive almost an hour to s... ee her for my yearly exams. My entire family goes to her for eye care. She is thorough, friendly, trustworthy, and very smart. She is passionate about eye care, and it shows! Her staff is kind and welcoming. I highly recommend her practice for all of your eye needs.

Dr Opferman discovered a potentially serious problem with my eye. I’m glad I went to see him for w... hat I thought was a minor aging issue and maybe some glasses! I am now seeing a specialist at the University of Chicago. Will definitely return for those glasses when I get this sorted out. Thank you

I’ve been a loyal patient of Dr. Casey Hogan for over 25 years, and I’ve been a client at Advanc... e Eyecare Professionals since the very day it opened. Simply put, this practice is top-notch, and I wouldn’t trust my eye care to anyone else. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by the friendly, welcoming staff who always make you feel like part of the family. They are efficient and thorough in explaining your insurance coverage and any charges upfront, so there are never any surprises. The entire office operates with professionalism and respect for your time, making each visit smooth and seamless. Dr. Hogan is the heart of this practice. She is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also genuinely cares about her patients. She takes the time to explain every aspect of your eye health in a way that’s easy to understand, answering all questions with patience and clarity. Her warmth and attention to detail make it clear that she’s deeply committed to providing the best care possible. I can’t imagine anyone leaving her office without feeling fully informed and well-cared for. To me, Dr. Hogan exemplifies what an excellent doctor should be—skilled, compassionate, and dedicated to her patients' well-being. It’s rare to find a healthcare provider who combines such expertise with a personal touch, and I’m grateful to have found Dr. Hogan and Advance Eyecare Professionals all those years ago. Honestly, the only person who could possibly have an issue with Dr. Hogan is someone who can’t see the incredible care she provides!

This place is fantastic. I loved everyone I saw that day. I just wish they had Saturday hours. I... 'm a school teacher with an evening job as well. The lack of Saturday hours made picking up my item difficult. I had to take time off work to go pick up my glasses. That was the only issue. My original appointment was during spring break but the pick up time was a few weeks later.
