Whether you're new to contacts or updating your prescription, Dr. Lipe provides thorough contact lens exams and fittings tailored to your eyes and your lifestyle.
A contact lens exam goes beyond your standard eye exam. In addition to checking your vision and eye health, Dr. Lipe takes precise measurements of your corneal curvature and evaluates how lenses fit on your specific eyes.
A separate contact lens prescription is required by law — it includes parameters like base curve and diameter that glasses prescriptions don't have. Whether you're a first-time wearer or switching lens types, the exam ensures your lenses are safe, comfortable, and giving you the clearest possible vision.
You may need a contact lens exam if you:
Every contact lens exam at Elite Eyecare follows a thorough, patient-centered process — so you leave with lenses that genuinely fit and a prescription you can rely on.
We start with a full eye health evaluation — visual acuity, refraction, eye pressure, and a retinal health assessment — before moving to the contact lens portion.
Dr. Lipe measures the curvature and diameter of your cornea to identify the lens parameters that will fit your eyes safely and comfortably.
You'll try on a trial lens during your visit. Dr. Lipe evaluates the fit, centration, and movement — and checks your vision through the lens before finalizing the prescription.
First-time wearers receive hands-on insertion and removal training. We schedule a follow-up to confirm your prescription is performing as expected before issuing your final Rx.
Dr. Lipe fits a wide range of contact lenses from leading brands including Alcon, CooperVision, Johnson & Johnson, and Bausch + Lomb.
The healthiest modality for most patients — fresh, sterile lenses every day with no cleaning required. Ideal for part-time wear, allergy sufferers, and first-time wearers.
Reusable lenses that offer a cost-effective option for daily full-time wear. Dr. Lipe will recommend the best replacement schedule for your tear film and lifestyle.
Specially designed to correct astigmatism with stable, sharp vision throughout the day. Available in daily, bi-weekly, and monthly modalities from all major brands.
Designed for presbyopia — age-related near vision blur. Multifocal lenses let you see clearly at multiple distances without reading glasses.
High-water-content and silicone hydrogel lenses allow more oxygen to reach the cornea and help combat contact lens-related dryness and discomfort.
Prescription-based cosmetic lenses that change or enhance your eye color. A proper fitting is still required — colored lenses are not one-size-fits-all.
Every contact lens exam is performed by Dr. Nathan Lipe — no technician-only visits. You get a full optometrist evaluation every time.
We keep a limited schedule so appointments aren't rushed. You'll have time to ask questions and leave with a prescription that actually works for you.
