Considering Contact Lenses

Benefits of Contact Lenses

For many patients, contact lenses offer a more natural, adaptable vision experience that fit seamlessly into daily life. Advances in lens design and materials provide comfort, breathability, and optical precision, providing consistent clarity throughout your day. Contact lenses are great for:

  • Variety of Vision Needs
  • Active Lifestyle
  • Comfortable for Daily Wear

Contact Lens Fittings & Consultations

For first-time wearers, before ordering contacts, you will need a contact lens exam and fitting. A first-time contact lens exam includes an eye exam, a class on how to put contact lenses in, and proper care for your new contacts.

Contact Lens Care

Proper contact lens care is essential for eye health and comfort. This includes:

  • Cleaning and storing your lenses as directed.
  • Following your replacement schedule (daily, bi-weekly, or monthly).
  • Practicing good hygiene before handling lenses.

Contact Lens Insurance Coverage

Contact lens insurance coverage depends on the plan. Most vision insurance plans cover at least part of the cost of contact lenses, and some cover all of it. Use your vision insurance, HSA, or FSA at Heartland Vision to save on contact lenses.

Free Vision Insurance Coverage Check

Heartland Vision accepts most vision insurance. We are happy to do an insurance check and explain what your plan actually covers and how to get the most out of it.

Contact Lenses without Insurance

No insurance? No problem! Many of our patients don’t have vision insurance. To make out-of-pocket costs easier to manage, we accept CareCredit for contact lenses & fittings.

Speak with one of our opticians, and they will help answer any questions or concerns you may have.

Extended wear contacts can be safe to use for up to a week or even longer. How long you can wear them depends on your doctor’s evaluation of your eyes.
