Contact Lenses in Wendell, NC
Clear, Comfortable Contacts Fitted Just for You
We fit contact lenses for a wide range of prescriptions, including patients who were told contacts were not an option.
A Thorough Fitting, From the First Visit On
A contact lens exam at Wendell Eye Care goes beyond a prescription update. The doctor evaluates lens fit, corneal health, and your specific visual needs before any lens recommendation is made.
Before you leave the office on fitting day, our staff walks you through how to properly insert, remove, and care for your contact lenses. You will be confident and prepared, not figuring it out at home on your own.

Your Contact Lens Fitting
What to Expect From Your Fitting Appointment
Every contact lens fitting at our practice covers the key steps from evaluation to wearing.
Lens Fit Evaluation
The doctor assesses how well the contact lens sits on the cornea, measuring fit, centration, and movement with each blink.
Corneal Health Check
The health of the cornea and ocular surface is evaluated to ensure contact lens wear is appropriate and safe for your eyes.
Trial Lenses
Trial lenses are provided so patients can experience how a new lens type feels before a final contact lens prescription is written.
Patient Training
Our staff walks you through the full process of inserting, removing, and caring for your lenses before you leave the office.
Follow-Up Visits
Follow-up appointments are available as needed to address any comfort issues and confirm that the lens continues to fit well over time.
Contacts for Kids
Contact Lenses for Children, Evaluated Individually
Children can be strong candidates for contact lenses, and the right lens can make a meaningful difference in daily life for an active young patient. Rather than applying a fixed age cutoff, we evaluate readiness on an individual basis and involve parents in the decision from the start.
For most first-time child patients, we recommend daily disposable lenses for their simplicity and hygienic advantages.

Common Questions About Contact Lenses
Yes. A contact lens exam is a separate evaluation from a standard eye exam. It includes additional measurements and a lens fit assessment that are specific to contact lens wear.
Yes. We fit toric contact lenses for patients with astigmatism and can help determine whether contacts are a good fit for your prescription and lifestyle.
Daily disposable lenses are single-use lenses worn for one day and then discarded. They require no cleaning and offer hygiene advantages over reusable lenses. They are a good choice for most patients and our top recommendation for first-time wearers.
There is no fixed minimum age. We evaluate readiness on an individual basis, considering the child’s maturity, hygiene habits, and ability to follow lens care instructions. Many children are ready earlier than parents expect.
