Contact Lenses

When you purchase your contact lenses from Metropolitan, you're getting the competency and the experience of the doctor who has prescribed them for you. In addition, we can take the confusion out of which lenses are right for your lifestyle by offering a plethora of options to include multi-focal, toric, daily and monthly lenses, as well as fashion colors and gas permeables. Let us help you discover your personal favorites!

Two of the most recent and successful introductions include:

• 1 DAY ACUVUE® TruEye™ Brand lenses - an innovative contact lens designed to help maintain the natural state of the eye. It's the first and only daily disposable lens made with a super-breathable silicone hydrogel material. And it includes HYDRACLEAR® 1 technology for all-day comfort.
  
  
• Bausch & Lomb PureVision® Multi-Focal lenses - made of silicone hydrogel, PureVision® Multi-Focal is the world's #1 selling multifocal design that allows you to see dinner and the movie screen simultaneously!

If I wear contact lenses, should I wear them into the appointment?

Yes. if you currently wear contact lenses, please wear them at least 1 hour prior to your appointment into the office. If you have the contact lens parameters from the box tops, please bring them in as well. Also, if you have glasses, bring them along, too.

If I already wear contact lenses, why do I have to have a contact lens fitting?

As our goal is to ensure that contact lens wearers have and maintain healthy eyes, the contact lens fitting is required in order to assess the health, curvature and hydration of your corneas, and to make certain they meet the specific and necessary standards for wearing contacts. You will receive a pair of diagnostic contact lenses which you will wear for a period of 7-10 days prior to returning to our office to finalize your prescription.

If I have an outside glasses or contact lens prescription, can I have it filled at the Metropolitan Optical?

Yes, Metropolitan Optical can fill any valid doctor's prescription for glasses or contact lenses, providing the prescription is no older than one year. Otherwise, it will be necessary for us to re-examine your eyes to ensure there has been no change in the health of your eyes, or vision.
