Contact Lens Clinic

 Contact.Closeup If you're one of the nearly 35 million Americans who wear contact lenses or are considering wearing contact lenses, this clinic can provide you with comprehensive vision care.

Compared to glasses, contact lenses can provide:

  • A natural cosmetic appearance
  • More convenient vision for sports and activities
  • More complete peripheral vision
  • In certain cases, better vision than glasses
Our Contact Lens Clinic offers:
  • Comprehensive eye exams
  • Contact lens evaluations
  • Contact lens fittings and follow up visits
  • Training in lens insertion, removal and care
  • A comprehensive selection of both soft and rigid contact lenses
  • Bifocal or monovision contact lens options to see at both distance and near
Contact lens wearers should be seen at least once a year for a comprehensive eye exam to ensure continued good vision and proper eye health. As a medical device that touches the surface of the eye, contact lenses can certainly impact the health of the eye, thus proper preventive assessment and care must be taken to maintain successful wear.

The University of California Berkeley, School of Optometry remains at the forefront of contact lens research. We are involved in investigations of eye assessment and measurement, the physical and biological interactions between lenses and eyes, as well as how lenses affect the health of the eye. Contact lenses are a rapidly progressing area of eye care and our clinicians are trained in these latest advances so that you can be assured of the most appropriate type of contacts for your eyes and your lifestyle.
