About our Eye Examination

To provide you with the best eye care and the latest information, doctors as well as staff attend several educational seminars each year. Our training, experience and state of the art equipment combine to provide professional, full scope primary eye care for infants as well as adults.

Our comprehensive eye examination takes approximately an hour to complete. It consists of an extensive health history, an internal evaluation of the health of your eyes, including tests for glaucoma, cataracts and other eye diseases. In addition, tests for color vision, depth perception, blood pressure measurement are performed, as well as a refraction, to determine if you are in need of glasses or contact lenses.

Contact Lenses

We maintain a large in-office trial lens inventory of re-usable and disposable daily and extended wear soft lenses, gas permeable rigid lenses, bifocal and post-cataract lenses, and therapeutic contact lenses for corneal disease or trauma.

Since we take contact lens wear seriously, we screen potential contact lens patients carefully before fitting. Not every patient who has the desire for contact lenses is a good, safe candidate for contact lens wear.  We stress frequent follow-up care for our contact lens patients. Contact lens wear, especially extended wear, without proper instruction, supervision and follow-up care by a doctor can be sight-threatening. We are not only concerned with safe and comfortable contact lens wear for the present, we want to provide continued lens wear well into the future.

As contact lens specialists, the doctors at Tallahassee Eye Center fit contact lenses of all types, including tinted lenses, disposable daily wear lenses, lenses for astigmatism, and bifocal. We also offer Vision Shaping Treatment for the reduction or elimination of near-sightedness while you sleep.  Contact lens fitting fees vary depending on the complexity of the fit. If you have questions about whether or not you would be a good candidate for contact lenses, please email us or call our office at (850) 671-3936.
