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 EyeTX - San Pedro in North Central today.

I am so happy to have Dr. Bell as my Doctor again, and it was great to see Henry! I was glad to see ... that you still welcome everyone with your smile. You receive great customer service even when calling the office. I spoke with Joshua, he was patient and helpful. Edward assisted me when I walked in the office, and he was welcoming and kind. There are other EyeTX locations, but this one stands on a pedestal for me. Call, or walk in and prove me right. Thank you! You are a great team, and together you make a great staff! Don't forget that you control your surroundings, and every day you can make it a great day for others, and your reward is a great day in return. Wishing you much success and prosperity. GOD bless!

From the moment that you walk in the door, to the incredible care you receive from providers who tak... e the time to listen and share with you in great detail about your eye health, to the selection of frames and lenses, follow up, and service after the purchase. Just an exceptional experience! We adore Dr. Bell and Henry is a “franchise” kind of employee, he is that good!

I have been a patient at EyeTX since 2014…..December of 2014, to be exact. I had just moved to San... Antonio from the East Coast at that time and was in need of an eye doctor. My dear sister recommended I go to EyeTX on San Pedro. She was already an established patient there and her doctor was Dr. Edward Elder. Now my doctor there is Dr. Elder! He is extremely good with patients and is extremely knowledgeable about eyes and eye care. The staff is wonderful and quite friendly and helpful and puts every patient at ease. No wonder I ONLY go to EyeTX!

I just got out of my exam here. I have to leave a review while I’m parked. This is my eye place of... choice. That’s it. There are closer ones, eyetx, to me but literally every time I come HERE… the service is flawless, quick and efficient. I have zero complaints or criticism, they are thee best. That’s it. From making the appointment over the phone, setting up the day, to the walk in and exams and exit. The delivery of contacts is always fast. Amazing service. I highly recommend. They are so friendly and excellent every damn time. Thankyou!!! Will be coming back as usual every year!!! Thankyou to the last at the desk, Oscar and the doctor!!

I love the team at EyeTX San Pedro. Dr. Bell provided a prompt and thorough examination that address... ed the needs of my eyes as they are impacted by Sjögren’s Syndrome in addition to astigmatism and the natural aging process. I was not looking forward to getting progressives, but, thanks to Henry, I had so much fun finding the perfect frames. When my glasses were ready, Henry helped guide me through how to best utilize my new lenses. I love my new glasses so much!!! My new contacts are also going to help so much to keep my eyes comfortable in addition to seeing better. This team is so helpful, kind, and genuinely committed to doing their very best for every patient. I am grateful to have their help in maintaining my eye health.

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.
