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 - Atascosa in Pleasanton 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.

From the time of walking in the door till I was walking out the door was top notch. EYETX could lite... rally write the book on customer service and satisfaction. GREAT JOB!

The office is always very clean and organized, and the staff is extremely sweet and helpful with any... thing you need. There’s never a long wait, no matter how full the lobby may look. Dr. Prough is phenomenal with children and incredibly patient, and the staff is just as wonderful when working with kids. Prescription fulfillment was handled efficiently as well. I highly recommend this optometrist office for everyone!

I called late in the day and was throughly impressed with the sweet lady I spoke with on the phone. ... My husband had a piece of metal in his eye so it was more of an emergency situation. Even being late in the day they took great care of him, giving him knowledge of what to do/not do and getting him asap to remove it. So very thankful our paths crossed and we had such a great experience with this eye doc!

From the moment I walked in, the entire staff was warm, welcoming, and incredibly efficient. Every s... tep of my visit was handled quickly without ever feeling rushed. The team was organized, friendly, and truly committed to great customer service. The doctor was just as impressive—thorough, patient, and made sure I understood everything throughout the exam. It’s rare to find an office that is both fast and attentive, but this one delivers on both. Highly recommend!

Quick and easy online booking where you can add your insurance info after booking the appointment (o... r you can call them). Every staff member was friendly and kind. My 6 yr old's appointment was booked with Dr. Thomas Vielma. He was kind and very thorough. He made my daughter laugh quite a few times and held a conversation with her while he examined her eyes. She felt comfortable the whole time, even though her eyes are very sensitive to light. Dr. Vielma distracted her by talking her through the bright-lighted moments! We have EyeMed vision insurance, which they accept. It was a $10 copay for the eye exam and $39 for dilation of the eyes. While we waited for her eyes to dilate, she picked out her frames (just in case she needed glasses). They have cute kid frames to choose from. She chose a hello kitty pair and a light pink pair! I couldn't afford the transition lenses (insurance wasn't much help for that cost), but we did add on the anti glare and blue light filter. Glasses should arrive in 2 weeks! It was smooth and easy process for my daughter! Thank you to the excellent Optometrist, Dr. Vielma, and his staff for the great experience.

They were able to see me the same day I called. My eyes were irritated and painful. Doctor Christoph... er Prough examined them and assured me there was nothing in my eye. He prescribed steroid eye drops and I noticed a relief that same day. I am very pleased with Doctor Prough and the staff at eyetx vision center. This will be my Doctor from now on.
