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 AccuVision Optical in Dunedin today.

I was very impressed with everything about Accuvision Optical in Dunedin. The staff is very profess... ional and the doctor's credentials are excellent. Very friendly and helpful. A great find!

Very impressed with AccuVision's staff! Everyone was very friendly and answered any questions, wheth... er it was for eye health or any doubts about prescription. The tech, Jonathan I think, was very helpful and kind and the Doctor I saw, Dr. Zacharopoulos, was very thorough, explained everything, and made great conversation! The office staff was very kind as well, and made the effort to ensure everything was correct and any contacts rebates were accounted for. One of the staff, Tess I believe, when I called back to order colored lenses was very helpful and checked stock and shipping options so I could have the lenses exactly when I need them. Less important, but also the office itself was nice, clean, and quaint. Very good vibes all around, so all in all, very impressed. Thanks so much team! 🙂

Look no further, your search is over! My wife and I we're quite impressed with everyone at this offi... ce and would recommend them over any other place in town. They answered any and all questions we had and never felt rushed during our exams. Very good "attention to details", I guess, would best describe our encounter with this office. We will definitely be back and have already recommended our brother to them and they took care of him last minute due to him having a piece of debris in his eye. Class act place with class act people!!! See you soon when our glasses are ready!

Fantastic service overall. Doctor Z did a great job. Will return!

Stopped by Accuvision Optical on Main street in Dunedin today without an appointment to see if they ... could repair my 90 year old mother's eyeglasses. The receptionist was busy helping another client so I had the pleasure of having Michael appear from down the hall to help me. He was most courteous and did not hesitate to stop what he was doing to put my mom's glasses back together ( the tiniest screw had fallen out of the front that keeps the sides connected to the lenses). I gave him the glasses in a pile and he was back in a flash with them repaired, and he even replaced the nose pieces at no charge. Top notch service with a genuine smile, thank you again Michael for your help 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.
