Contact Lenses

Finding comfortable contacts that work with your lifestyle shouldn’t feel complicated or overwhelming. Our experienced eye doctor takes time to understand how you’ll use your contacts – at the computer, playing sports, or managing dry eyes at the end of a long day. When you visit Carlson Eye Care, we focus on matching you with contact lenses that feel natural from morning until night.

We start by measuring your eyes with precision instruments to determine the ideal contact lens shape and size. Every person’s eyes are distinct, so we test different options to find what works best specifically for you. After selecting your contacts, we teach you exactly how to handle, clean, and care for them so they stay comfortable and your eyes stay healthy.

Routine and Medical Eye Exams

Sharp vision matters in everything you do – reading texts from loved ones, driving at night, or spotting your kid’s winning goal from the bleachers. When you visit our experienced eye doctor at Carlson Eye Care, we pay attention to the tiny details that impact your sight. Through comprehensive routine and medical eye exams, we spot and address issues while they’re small and manageable.

We’ve designed our exam process to go beyond basic vision checks. Using specialized imaging, we get a detailed view of your retinas, optic nerves, and eye pressure levels – but we explain these results in plain language you’ll understand. By learning about your daily activities, work demands, and family health background, we build an eye care plan that truly fits your real-world needs.

Kids need strong vision to explore their world, master reading, and excel in sports and school activities. At Carlson Eye Care, we’ve created a welcoming space where our eye doctor makes eye exams feel like a fun adventure, not a chore. During each pediatric eye exam, we use kid-friendly techniques to check how well your child sees shapes, colors, and movement while keeping them engaged and comfortable.

We know squirmy toddlers and shy preschoolers need special care, so we adjust our pace to match each child’s personality. Our experienced team uses digital pictures, age-appropriate games, and gentle encouragement to assess your child’s eye muscle balance, depth perception, and visual development. We take time to answer parents’ questions and explain exactly what we’re seeing, so you understand your child’s eye health completely.

Alongside a team of 13 members, they travelled to Suriname, located on the northern coast of South America.

Our Testimonials

I needed my glasses adjusted to stop them from sliding down on my nose. I don’t know the name of the woman who did it (Friday 9/15, 11:30) but she did an excellent job. She was very patient and adjusted my glasses to my total satisfaction. She was detailed, personable and professional.

Bob

They did things I haven't seen before like taking a picture of them inside of my eye. It was a detailed, good appointment. They had cute glasses to which you can get in any color. Everyone was really nice and friendly. No complaints. I was worried it would be hard to find but it really wasn't.

Kayleigh R

The glasses work very well. The staff is especially friendly and kind. She worked very hard to find the best pair and spent at least 20 minutes helping me try on frames.

Ken S.

Great location, got me an appointment within two days of calling, thorough exam, helpful people. Highly recommend especially if you need an exam sooner rather than later!

Tim T. Jr.
