Contact Lens Exams

Contact Lens Image

At Lifetime Eyecare, we strive to meet all of your eye and vision care needs. Corrective lens evaluations and prescription management are provided by our optometrists. After a comprehensive eye and vision evaluation, we will discuss the variety of contact lens options with you to select the type that best fits your vision needs and lifestyle. If you suffer from dry eye, allergies, or recurring eye infections, speak with our staff to determine whether contact lenses are right for you.

Evaluation
Prior to prescribing contact lenses, our doctors determine what level of vision correction you require. Refractive error (commonly known as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism depending on the error) is evaluated by measuring how the eyes focus when a series of different lenses are placed in front of them. Our optometrist may use either a phoropter or an automated instrument to take these measurements. To schedule an appointment for a vision evaluation with our optometrists, call 616-457-0760 today.

Corrective Lenses
After determining the level of refractive error, our doctors work with you to determine whether contact lenses or glasses are best for your lifestyle. If you suffer from certain conditions, such as dry eye or allergies, glasses may be the most comfortable corrective solution. Contact lenses are available in either soft or rigid gas permeable form. Contact lenses need to be changed daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, depending on what type of lens you select. Specialized contact lenses, such as bifocal contact lenses or Ortho-K are also available for patients with special eye conditions. Call us if you are interested in learning if contact lenses are a good fit for you.

Cosmetic Lenses
Advances in contact lens technology have created great options for cosmetic and prosthetic lenses. Custom contact lenses can be created to camouflage any color variation or irregularity and produce a natural eye color. Cosmetic lenses are also available to transform your eye color. Speak to our knowledgeable staff if you are interested in modifying or changing your eye color with contact lenses.

Testimonials
  • "Everyone there is very professional. I saw Dr Allen Smith and I think that I got a much better prescription for my lenses than I had previously from a different office. He took time with my exam to make sure that everything was correct. Since my husband did not come with me, I was glad that the office staff took time with me to find frames that worked well. They were very helpful. I have been happy for the last 2 years with the glasses I purchased there."
    Deborah
  • "Dr Smith is Friendly and funny . The entire staff is very friendly and helpful !!! I won't go anywhere else for my eye care and glasses. I love their honest opinion on what frames looks good on me."
    Diane
  • "I was having trouble with my vision being strained from overuse at work. Dr. Gdowski took the extra time needed to identify the problem, and find a solution that worked best for me. My new computer glasses have completely solved my eye strain, and I couldn't be happier! My Optician, Tiffany, was extremely knowledgeable about the types of lenses, their strengths and weaknesses, and the frames that Lifetime Eyecare offers. She had me not only seeing correctly, but looking great too!"
    Branden
  • "Five Stars all the way around! The entire staff are personable, knowledgeable professionals who always greet me with a smile and treat me like I'm their best customer. The congenial atmosphere in this office puts fun into a medical procedure. Their professional work gives me ultimate confidence that with Dr Smith and staff my eyes are in good hands!"
    Will
  • "I haven't been to this office since my last eye exam as a kid over a decade ago; but I'm SO glad I came back to this office (even though my original eye doc retired)! The staff is very friendly, and I was VERY impressed with Dr. Smith. He is incredibly great at what he does while also takes an interest in who you are as a person; you can tell he's into forming relationships with patients and I think that's important. Will definitely return to this office in the future!"
    Leah
  • "I've been a patient at Lifetime Eyecare for the past 19 years. The staff is amazing, and I consistently receive the highest quality of care from the physicians and staff. My son had one visit here and they are absolutely wonderful with children! Everyone takes the time to explain things well and consider all factors in my care very carefully. I highly recommend this practice!"
    Tammi
  • "The best vision care facility I've ever been to. Dr. Smith and his staff are simply amazing. Professional. Caring. Kind. Costs are fair and the skill of diagnosis and explaining what choices you can make are clear and concise. The atmosphere of this clinic is also top notch with people who work as a unit to respect your time, pocketbook, and convenience. I will never use another facility or doctor than Dr. Smith."
    Wayne
  • "I had a great experience with Dr. Gdowski. She gave me the most thorough eye exam I've ever had and I got my first new pair of glasses in 10+ years. Dr. Gdowski and my optician Tiffany talked to me about the importance of blocking harmful blue light and protecting my eyes after long days on a computer. They put me in an Eyezen lens and my eyes have never felt better!"
