At Vision Gallery we offer all types and brands of contact lenses specifically fitted for each individual's needs. It is very important that your lenses are fitted correctly based on your prescription, eye shape and specific needs.
Contact lenses are medical devices and are regulated by state and federal law. A contact lens prescription is valid for ONE (1) year from your eye examination. Once the prescription has expired, lenses may not be replaced. Do not wait until you are out of lenses to return for your annual eye examination. These laws are meant to ensure your ocular health so that you may enjoy many years of contact lens wear. The yearly visit allows us to check for any potential problems in their early stages, often before symptoms are present.
