Contact Lenses in Fairfax, VA – Avoid Mail-Order Contact Lenses

Our provider of contact lenses in Fairfax, VA, offers comprehensive eye exams for individuals looking to get contact lenses. If you’ve been searching for contact lenses, you may be aware of online services that advertise mail-order contacts. While this may seem like a convenient, low-cost alternative to seeing our optometrist for lenses, these options can be dangerous for your eye health. Our optometrist explains the benefits of a comprehensive assessment for contacts.

The Importance of Professional Exams

Before getting eyeglasses or contact lenses, it is critical that your eyes be examined to ensure that they are in good health. Only a professional can determine this – a mail-order service is no substitute. Our exams can detect:

Glaucoma
Changes in eye pressure
Macular degeneration
Astigmatism
Other possible causes of blurred or poor vision

We will also provide a customized, exact prescription for your best visual clarity, not an approximate that you would receive from an online service!

Contact Lens Fittings

Contact lenses aren’t one-size-fits-all, either. You have a unique eye shape, size, and prescription, and only an expert can determine if your eyes are suitable for contacts. Online services generally offer low-quality contact lenses and may send you lenses that are too steep or too flat for your eye shape. This causes pain and even long-term damage to the health of your eyes. In our office, we use a keratometer to measure the front surface of your eye (cornea) to ensure a precise, comfortable fit for you.

Ongoing Support

If you choose an online option, you will not have the support that comes from regular eye checkups with our optometrist. There is a chance that your prescription will change, or you will develop other issues with your vision that only an in-person visit can detect. We aren’t just providers of contact lenses; we care about your overall eye health!

I went in for a contact lens exam. The optometrist was great. Very knowledgeable. Took the time to educate me on visual acuity. Was a great resource from a Physician's standpoint.

Excellent and attentive! I waited for all of five minutes after showing up early to my appointment, and everyone who worked there gave very thorough and detailed explanations of what tests were happening, why, and what the costs were. I've never had such a positive experience at an eye provider. I would highly recommend them!- Melanie F. best-ashburn-arlington-woodbrifge-fairfax-springfield-vienna-va-optometry

"Excellent doctor's office. Everyone is polite and whether you're speaking with the doctor or selecting new frames, you can take your time and they will help you make the best decision for you. They do not try to sell you expensive items you don't need - which happened to me at one of the chain optometrists in the area. Definitely recommend."- Brookes C. best-ashburn-arlington-woodbrifge-fairfax-springfield-vienna-va-optometry
