CONTACT LENS FITTING FEES
We want to thank you for considering a contact lens fitting with the doctors of Whitson
Vision and want you to understand what is involved with a contact lens fitting. If you
have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
On the day of your examination, if needed and time permitting, an optician will instruct
you on insertion and removal of the lenses. If this is not possible, you will be given a
return appointment to meet with one of the opticians for this instruction session. After
receiving these instructions, you will wear the lenses for one to two weeks and return for
a follow-up examination to evaluate the fit and prescription. If you are a previous wearer
and no changes have been made to the fit, you will be free to purchase your prescribed
lenses the day of the examination and will not need to go through the “trial” phase.
Below are the categories of Fitting Fees. Your fees will be determined by the physician,
are due at the time of the fitting and are non-refundable. If you decided to “up-grade”
to a different category (i.e. monovision to bifocals) after the initial visit, additional fees
will be added. Fees do not include the price of the contact lenses.
