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 Memorial Eye Center - Gessner in Mid-West today.

A hidden gem of a Dr office. Professional and polite. Staff was courteous and did everything possibl... e to save me as much money. Usually I get bombarded with extra add ons and charges. Prices are reasonable and worked with my insurance. Doctor listened to what I said and now I can see without a headache. Will be making this my standard office from now on for glasses and contacts.

Jackie provided exceptional customer service to assure that my eye emergency would be addressed and ... was able to schedule my appointment in a timely manner. The gentleman who checked me in provided customer service that is not provided by other healthcare facilities too often. From start to finish during my contact with this eye care office I am very pleased with my experience and I look forward to continuing my eye health care here.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Memorial Eye in Westchase. They are so kind, knowledgeab... le, thorough, and professional - when it comes to both eye health and eyeglass selection. I came in for my *first* pair of progressive lenses, carrying with me the apprehension and concern that comes with it. But let me tell you, my experience, and my new progressive lenses and frames, are an absolute DELIGHT. It was actually a fun and affirming experience. Great job to Dr Chuang and my optician.

It is the store for people who want to get nice looking glasses, There are plenty good looking bra... nd frames at a fair price at this store. Many styes of designs are at wide bright show rooms and plus the staffs are nice. My wife and I just picked up two pairs today which were ordered two weeks ago: Gucci and Versace. When I want to recogniz this store, this tean, I want particularily to recognize Mr. Hung Ngyuen who did so nice in this team. May I tell you a short story why I said that? On Saturday Dec 17, My wife and I were both shopping our glasses at its store. He helped us to choose and test a lof of of frames. It really took long time on and off. He was so patiet and was very knowledgble to tell us the difference of styles, qualities, materials of varies brands. My wife are always very picky. However, his service made her very satisied and selected one. It was done at 2:40 pm. Regretfully, I had another appointment in different eye store at that time. I told Hung that I had to leave and maybe I would come back if I did not get a good one there and maybe not if I get one there. We know the store will be closed at 3 pm on Saturday. Then if I leave there is no way I could come back before the store is closed. I estimated it might be aound 5 pm if I indeed come back. Surprisingly, Hung told us that he would wait in the store until we come back. We did not think he was serious. When we were on the way back we are kind of wondered if he 'd be waiting for us. Yes, he was there when we come at 4:15 pm. He was still waiting for us after the office closed. We asked why you did not leave for Christmas shopping and instead wait for us. He said that he would rather sacrifice his own time if he can add more customers for the company. That is his work ethic which impressed us. I belive it is Memorial Eye Center's ethic too. A good store must have good service person, vice versa. I bought another one for myself immeidately. In addition, Hung speaks Vietnamese as well as English. It was helpful for my wife to understand and trust him. The Store location is close to the Asian Town in Beltway 8 and Bellaire. My wife want to bring more her Vietnamese Speaking friends to the store. We also encorage you visit the store and look for Hung. Happy New Year. Jensen and Judy

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.
