Lenses That Fit Your Lifestyle & Your Eyes

Contact lenses should make your day easier, not more complicated. Whether you’re brand new to contacts or looking for something more comfortable, we’ll guide you through a fitting process built around your needs, with time to ask questions, try options, and get it right.

Why Do You Need a Contact Lens Exam?

A contact lens exam includes measurements that go beyond a standard vision test, ensuring your lenses are safe, stable, and suited to how you use your eyes every day.

A Range of  Lens Options for Life at Every Pace

Everyday vision needs vary, and so do lenses. We fit a full range of soft and rigid lenses designed for clarity, comfort, and long-term eye health, including:

  • Daily disposables
  • Toric lenses for astigmatism
  • Multifocal lenses for reading and distance in one
  • RGPs (rigid gas permeable lenses)
  • Hard-to-fit lenses for complex prescriptions
  • MiSight® lenses for pediatric myopia management

Recommendations are always made based on what’s best for your vision and lifestyle.

The Right Lenses Start With the Right Guidance

Choosing contact lenses isn’t just about prescription, it’s about how you see, feel, and function throughout the day.

We’ll walk you through every option after your digital eye exam in Athens, explain what each lens type does, and help you feel confident in your choice.

We primarily fit lenses from Alcon, including Precision1 and DAILIES Total1, for their comfort, oxygen flow, and sharp vision.

We also offer lenses from CooperVision and Johnson & Johnson depending on your needs.

For Kids and Teens: Clarity & Confidence

Contact lenses can be a great fit for younger patients, especially those active in school or sports.

Fittings for children and teens are slower-paced and hands-on, with plenty of education built in.

We make sure kids feel comfortable, parents feel informed, and everyone leaves feeling confident about care and safety.

 

Manage Myopia With More Than Just a Prescription

Some kids don’t just need clearer vision they need a plan to protect their future eyesight. That’s where MiSight® daily lenses come in.

These FDA-approved contacts are part of our proactive approach to slowing the progression of childhood myopia (nearsightedness), helping reduce long-term risks and the need for stronger prescriptions down the line.

What a Thoughtful Contact Lens Fitting Really Looks Like

Each fitting includes corneal measurements, trial lenses, and time for guided practice (especially for new wearers). 

Our optical team will teach you how to insert, remove, and care for your lenses and we’re always here for follow-up questions, adjustments, or changes down the road.

Ongoing Support Beyond the First Fit

Your contact lens care doesn’t end when you leave the office.

We’re always here for questions, adjustments, or changes down the line whether your vision needs shift or your lifestyle does.

Our goal is to make sure your lenses continue working well for you, long after your fitting.

We provide expert contact lens fittings for patients in Athens, Watkinsville, Jefferson, and the surrounding communities.

Struggling With Comfort or Fit? Let’s Rethink It.

Not every contact lens works the first time. That doesn’t mean you’re out of options. It’s about making sure your lenses fit the shape, health, and comfort needs of your eyes.

Some patients need a different approach, especially if past lenses caused dryness, blur, or irritation. We offer a range of hard-to-fit options for eyes that need more than a standard lens. If you’ve been told that contacts “aren’t a fit,” we’re happy to take another look and help you find a better match.
