Daily, Monthly, Colored Contact Lenses for Your Eyes
Choosing the right contact lenses involves more than just picking a prescription. At First Eye Care Grand Prairie we offer a wide range of contact lens options, such as daily disposables, monthly lenses, toric lenses for astigmatism, and multifocal lenses for presbyopia. We’ll guide you through the selection process, considering your lifestyle and comfort so you get the best possible fit.
Perfect Fit, Clear Sight: Your Guide to Contact Lens Comfort
A proper contact lens fit is essential for clear vision and optimal comfort. During your contact lens exam and fitting, our eye doctor will take precise measurements of your eyes, assessing their shape and size. These measurements help us recommend contact lenses that provide a snug yet comfortable fit. We'll also discuss your daily routine, hobbies, and any specific vision needs you have.
The Importance of a Contact Lens Exam
A contact lens exam is an advanced assessment that goes beyond a regular eye exam. While evaluating your overall eye health, our eye doctor will also assess your suitability for contact lenses. We'll check for any underlying eye conditions that might affect your lens wear and teach you how to insert, remove, and care for your lenses to prevent discomfort or complications. You’ll also get a pair to try out at home before making a final decision.
Lifestyle Lens Match: Perfecting Your Look and Lifestyle
Your lifestyle plays a significant role in determining the type of contact lenses that are right for you. Whether you're an athlete, a professional spending long hours in front of a computer, or someone who enjoys outdoor activities, we have contact lens options to match your daily routine. Our eye doctor will take your activities and preferences into account to recommend lenses that won't slow you down, providing clear and comfortable vision all day long.

Kids and Contact Lenses
Introducing kids to contact lenses can be a positive step in their journey towards independence and better vision.
While it's common for many children to start with glasses, contact lenses offer an alternative that can boost their confidence and engagement in various activities. Kids who participate in sports, dance, or other extracurricular activities may find contact lenses more convenient and comfortable compared to traditional eyeglasses. Additionally, contact lenses can help kids avoid issues such as glasses slipping or breaking during play.
However, before making the transition, we recommend requesting an appointment with us so one of our eye doctors can determine if your child is ready for contact lenses and the responsibility of lens care and hygiene.
