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 Montgomery Village Eye Center in Gaithersburg 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 started going here about 2 weeks ago and I've had a very good experience. It is very convenient fo... r me and everybody's been so nice. I got new glasses and we're figuring out which contact lenses are right for me now with trials as my eyes have gotten dry and I think we finally figured it out. Everyone has been professional and it's clean, nice, and it's been accommodating. Dr Samala Khan is very nice and patient. I recommend this place.

I am writing this too praise the care, kindness and professionalism I received today from Samala Kha... n, Stephanie, Izzy and Augusto! Absolutely the best experience ever at any medical appointment!

This was absolutely one of the best eye clinics i've ever been too! I haven't been to an eye doctor ... in some 10 years. Not only did they make me feel welcome but they made me feel like family. From the kind receiptionist (who i didn't get her name sorry!) to the Doctor himself Adam Rubin and then my optician Jamie! Man oh man everyone was on their A GAME. Thanks so much for your help and kindness! Some goofy photos for your enjoyment!

I have seen many eye doctors in my life and never had the right prescriptions for my glasses. My rig... ht eye has different sight than my left. Dr Miller took her time checked my eyes and for the first time in my life I can see clearly. I am so glad to found this eye doctor. Last but not least, the workers from the front desk to the techs were very helpful and caring. It was my first time to come to this eye clinic I got lost and was late for my appointment after driving for 40 miles to get to their office. I was worried I will not be seen and will not have my eye exam. I called in a panic to ask them their location not only they guide me to their direction, I was able to see the doctor. As anyone can witness, it is rare to find people who are caring. These group of people are very unique. Thank you for being human.

This place is the best! I used to work right next to them before they changed locations but was neve... r seen as a patient. I got a really bad eye infection and was able to be seen the same day before a holiday weekend! the front office staff is extremely friendly and welcoming as well as Dr. Rubin! the doctor made me feel at ease as I was very frustrated and in pain. Love this office and will be coming back for any of my eye needs! Also looks like they have a great selection of frames here. definitely will be recommending to my family and friends!

Upon retirement my husband and I decided to try a new eye care facility closer to our current locati... on. After trying 3 other doctors, we are driving 2 hours, one way, to be able to get the fantastic service from Dr. Rubin and Dr. Miller. It's more than worth it.

Dr Miller is so wonderful and the staff there are absolute stars. Everyone is professional and super... friendly. I highly recommend.

SPANISH Visité a este oftalmólogo por segundo año ahora, este lugar está lleno de gente profesional que sabe todo sobre anteojos, toda mi familia ha tenido problemas de visión corta desde siempre, los niños y mi esposo usaron lentes regulares y de contacto durante muchos años, el Dr. Rubin es tan detallista y paciente con todos nosotros, tan profesional y amable en el proceso de verificación de ojos, además de amigable con los niños. El Sr. Rick es el mejor asesor sobre qué anteojos son mejores en precio, cubiertos por su seguro, los que están en oferta y los que lo hacen parecer una estrella de Hollywood, toma medidas detalladas de su rostro, el ancho de la barbilla el distancia de los ojos y haz que tus anteojos se ajusten perfectamente a tu cara, toda mi familia y algunos amigos que recomendé están muy contentos con este lugar, además tienen la colección de anteojos más actualizada de tu elección, recomiendo este oculista 100% tenga la mejor experiencia para lograr que su visión funcione a la perfección.

I've been here with my brothers since I was a kid. They moved and I couldnt find them anymore. After... all these years I finally found them! The experience is still great like before (mind you...this is like 11 years later) and the staff are amazing and sweet. Eager to help you with your situation! I love that they give you temporary lenses til your contacts arrive. I love it! Literally the best place ever and worth every penny 👍
