CONTACT LENSES - SHETTLE FAMILY EYE CARE &
EYE WEAR - DR. SCOTT SHETTLE
What are contact lenses?
Contact lenses are a popular alternative to wearing glasses; we do
recommend that you have a pair of spectacles, in your current
prescription, to wear when contact lenses are not suitable. Contact
lenses are considered elective eyewear in most instances. Many
people choose them for cosmetic, safety, recreational, and
convenience reasons. There are contact lenses available that will
allow almost anyone to enjoy the comfort and excellent vision that a
well-fit contact lens provides.
Contact lenses are medical devices that require ongoing care. Unlike
spectacle wear, contact lenses are foreign bodies that are worn on
the eye. They must be monitored and cared for meticulously in order
to avoid serious complications. When contact lenses are cared for
and worn as instructed the risk to your eye health and vision are
low. However, medications, environmental factors, other health
concerns, non-compliance, over wear, or individual response may
affect the success of your contact lens experience.
How can you get contact lenses?
Your contact lens fitting may be done only after your annual eye
health exam. The fitting services include:
• Evaluation: selecting the most appropriate lenses for your eyes
• Additional testing: specific to the fitting of contact lenses
• Trial contact lenses
• Contact lens care and handling instructions (with sample care kit)
• Insertion and removal training by a certified professional as
desired
• Contact lens follow-up office visits as recommended by the Dr.
through the finalization of your contact lens prescription
You can now order replacement contact lenses directly through our
website.
Caring for contact lenses
Contact lens follow-up visits are essential to providing you with a
prescription for a properly fit contact lens. Your failure to return
to the office as instructed by the Dr. within two weeks of the
initial contact lens fit may result in additional charges.
After your contact lens prescription has been finalized you will be
offered the opportunity to purchase up to a one-year supply of
contacts through our office. Our prices are competitive and we are
happy to provide these services allowing you to get your contact
lenses from a Dr. you trust. You may however, opt to take your soft
contact lens prescription elsewhere.
Due to an increased risk of health complications and rapid
refractive changes, contact lens prescriptions for minors (patients
under the age of 18) are only valid for six months. A six-month
supply of lenses may be purchased at the time of the fitting and
another six-month supply at the six-month follow-up visit (included
in annual service fees).
Contact lens fitting and evaluation is renewed annually to maintain
continuity in your contact lens care. These contact lens fees are
separate from your annual eye health examination fees. Also,
complications that arise from contact lens wear are not included in
the contact lens fitting fees.
We offer a variety of contact lenses:
• Disposable lenses

• Conventional lenses
• Cosmetic/Colored lenses
