Texas Contact Lenses

In Texas, contact lenses are not hard to find. You'll be able to find your eyes' perfect match in material, color if you prefer it, and power. If you haven't tried contact lenses in a long time because you didn't enjoy wearing them before, feel free to talk to an eye care provider in your area. He or she will likely be able to set you up with a trial set or two to see if the advances in contact lens technology have made a difference for your eyes.

If you already know which contact lenses work well for you, you'll still need an updated prescription—-one that isn't over a year old—-in order to purchase more. That goes for contact lens purchases anywhere, to include other states and online retailers.

If you're interested in trying a new kind of contact lenses, you will again need to speak with your eye care specialist. Materials and fit all come into play when you're searching for the lenses that best suit your eyes.

There is quite the supply of contact lenses in Texas. Here are a few locations to get you started: Lindsay Eye Care: You'll find this office in Bryan, Texas. Call to ask questions or make an appointment at 979-776-2020 or 800-843-2111. Dr. Lindsay specializes in prescription sportswear and contact lenses, and if you just need clear single vision lenses, you can probably get a fitting the same day as your eye exam.

Scott & White Healthcare is located in Temple, Texas. Once you've gone in for an exam and fitting, you'll be able to order your contacts right on their website. Call for more information at 254-724-2020.

Central Texas Eye Center: You'll find locations in San Marcos, Wimberley, and Luling, Texas. Call 512-353-1300 for the San Marcos location, 512-847-8770 for the Wimberley location, and 800-308-8728 for the Luling location. They have a large number of trial lenses on hand for their patients to try out. You can even get colored or custom painted lenses from these locations. You'll be able to order online once you're an established patient.

According to the Department of State Health Services in Texas:

• Contact lens prescriptions must be given to the patient if they ask for one, partially so they can shop at other contact lens sales locations
• Prescriptions are valid for a year unless there is a health concern that would require a lens check before the year is over
• A health care provider can refuse to write a contact lens prescription if there is a health concern related to a patient wearing contact lenses at all, they are requesting a prescription more than one year after their last eye exam, or they owe the office money
• Authorization of an extension of the prescription for one or two months can happen in the case of an emergency, such as times when a patient runs out of lenses but cannot be scheduled for an eye exam in the very near future

Aside from, "How much do they cost?" there are other questions to ask when buying Texas contact lenses or lenses in any other state. Ask what they are made from; this is especially important if you suffer from dry eyes. Your eye care provider needs to know if you have chronically dry eyes so that they can choose lenses for you that will not lose moisture rapidly, leaving you with uncomfortable eyes, imperfect vision, and an empty wallet.

Ask how long your lenses of choice are intended to be worn. Some lenses are thrown out daily, giving you the opportunity to start with a fresh pair every morning. Others can be worn up to a month. Still others, such as rigid gas permeable lenses, can be worn for a year.
