Discover the Freedom and Convenience of Contact Lenses

  • Need bifocal or multifocal contacts?
  • Rigid gas permeable or soft lenses?
  • Disposables, dailies or colored contacts?

Contact lenses give wearers a full field of focused vision no matter where you look. Because they move with your eyes, contacts help allow you to track action with sharp and clear peripheral vision. Moreover, if you lead an active lifestyle, contacts provide more freedom and flexibility to enjoy your favorite sports.

A contact lens exam will help us determine the perfect contact lens fit for your eyes and lifestyle!

What to Expect From Your Contact Lens Exam

  • Regular eye exam

    During your comprehensive eye exam your optometrist will check that your eyes are healthy and will test your vision to determine your contact lens prescription.

  • Contact lens consultation

    During your contact lens exam your optometrist will check for dry eye symptoms and consult with you to determine what type of contact lenses are the best fit for your lifestyle and vision needs.

  • Contact lens fitting

    For ideal vision correction and comfort, contact lenses must fit well. Your optometrist will examine the size and shape of your cornea and pupil to ensure the right fit.

  • Contact lens trial and follow-up

    Your optometrist will insert trial lenses and ask you to keep them on for 15-20 minutes to be sure the fit is comfortable and vision is clear. After a few days, you'll come in for a follow-up evaluation.


Where Can I Get a Contact Lens Exam?

The right contact lenses, carefully fitted and prescribed by your optometrist, can provide many benefits and prevent discomfort and eye disease.

Once you have determined the right contact lens, you can start enjoying the benefits and freedom of daily or regular contact lens wear.

We offer contact lens exams at our eye clinic and will help determine the best contact lenses for your needs and eye shape. Simply schedule your appointment by contacting Vision 1st Nashville in Lions Head Condos today.

Contact Lens Exams FAQs

Can dry eye sufferers wear contact lenses?

Usually, yes. While some types of contact lenses can aggravate symptoms of dry eye syndrome, such as eye dryness, redness and irritation, other contacts are perfectly suitable for dry eyes. Speak with an eye doctor near you regarding your dry eye symptoms, and they'll prescribe the perfect contact lenses for ultimate comfort.

Can a child wear contact lenses?

It's a case-by-case basis. Typically, eye doctors don’t prescribe contacts to children under the age of 11 or 12, though there are exceptions. Wearing contact lenses requires responsible care, including cleaning and disinfecting routines. Most teenagers can handle contact lens care if they’re motivated to wear contacts.

Do I need an eye exam and prescription for tinted contact lenses?

Yes! Even if you’re just using contacts to change the color of your eyes, you still need an eye exam and a prescription. Contact lenses are a medical device and require fitting by an eye doctor.

I received excellent patient care at my first visit and was greeted by a very friendly staff. The cu... stomer service was top-notch when ordering new glasses and contacts, they went above and beyond for me to accommodate my needs. I feel very supported by the team here, thank you Vision 1st!

Vision First has been my optometrist for years. Dr. Hoover is very kind patient with me when it come... s to choosing which lens I can see thru better. “Is it 1, 2 or 3?’… A, B or C?’ 😂 He is also patient with all of the questions I have. The technician, Jennifer, is also patient with the uncomfortable testing and helps you relax. Claire Escamilla is also patient with me when choosing frames. I have always stuck with the same frame style for 20 years because I have a round face. But 3 years ago she helped me break out of my comfort zone with a new style that fits my face shape and they were adorable!! And now THAT brand will probably be with me for the next 20 years. 😂 (unless Claire finds a new style that helps minimize my round face) Claire also helps me work with insurance and helps me find what I need within my budget. Thanks you guys! I would definitely recommend Vision First to anyone!

Jennifer Jones is an absolutely wonderful person and an outstanding professional. She consistently g... oes the extra mile to help me (everyone), always ensuring everything is taken care of with precision and care. Her dedication and expertise truly set her apart - she is simply the best. I couldn't ask for a better experience and highly recommend Vision 1st - hands down because of Jennifer !!!!

I had a fabulous experience with Vision 1st after trying them coming from another provider that left... a lot to be desired. Dr Hoover was thorough and explained his process really well.
