Why buy your contact lenses through your eye doctor instead of online? 👇
When you order directly from our office, you get more than just contacts — you get accuracy, safety, and support.
✅ Guaranteed to match your exact prescription — no substitutions or expired lenses.
✅ Access to manufacturer rebates (often better than online pricing!)
✅ Complimentary replacement lenses if you rip or lose one.
✅ Faster problem-solving if you experience irritation or discomfort.
✅ We verify fit, comfort, and eye health — online retailers can’t.
Your eyes are too important to gamble on convenience alone.
Trust the experts who know your vision best. 👁️

⏳ When’s the last time you replaced your contact lens case?
Most people don’t realize these should be replaced every 3 months — no exceptions.
Bacteria love warm, moist environments… and your lens case is exactly that. Over time, it becomes the perfect breeding ground for eye infections — even if it looks clean.
✅ Rinse with fresh solution (not water!)
✅ Let air dry upside down
✅ Replace every 90 days
Want an easier, safer option?
Daily disposable lenses eliminate the need for a case altogether.
✔️ A fresh, sterile lens every morning
✔️ No cleaning solutions or case maintenance
✔️ Lower risk of infection or inflammation
✔️ Perfect for busy or sensitive eyes
If convenience and eye health are your top priorities — ask us about switching to daily contacts at your next visit! 👁️

👁️ October is Contact Lens Safety Awareness Month! 👁️
This month is all about protecting your vision and making sure you’re wearing and caring for your contact lenses the right way. Through the rest of the month, we’ll be sharing helpful tips and reminders.
Healthy habits = healthy eyes.
Follow along and keep your vision safe!
10/22/2025
Wearing your contacts even just one day longer than recommended can actually starve your eyes of oxygen — leading to painful inflammation, irritation, or even permanent scarring.
Contacts are designed to be worn for exactly the number of days prescribed. After that, their surface begins to break down, trapping bacteria and reducing oxygen flow to the eye.
🚫 “Just one more day” is never worth the risk.
✅ Stick to your replacement schedule — 2 weeks means 2 weeks, 30 days means 30 days.
✅ If you’re struggling to keep track, daily disposable lenses may be a safer option.
Your vision is too important to gamble with — healthy habits today protect your eyes for life.
