Contact Lenses

If your child desires contact lenses and has never worn them before, we cannot simply write a contact lens prescription. It is necessary for your child to have a contact lens fitting by Dr. Bekteshi. This involves selecting a lens that will fit your child’s eyes, instructing your child in the proper use of the lenses, and follow-up visits to be certain the lenses are fitting properly.

-The contact lens fitting fee for regular soft lenses is $225.00.

-The contact lens fitting fee for soft lenses for astigmatism is $250.00-$275.00.

Both include a 6-month supply of contacts in addition to follow-up visits with Dre. Bekteshi for 6 weeks if needed.

The total amount is due at the time of scheduling and/or before any trials can be ordered for the contact lens fitting.

If during the contact lens fitting, your child does not tolerate the lenses and you decide against them, you will be reimbursed 50%, however, anytime after the appointment, there will be no reimbursement. 

I hope this information will avoid any misunderstandings. These policies are for the best protection of your child’s vision. Improperly fit contact lenses can result in total loss of vision and should not be treated lightly. 

If you choose to have your child’s contact lens fitting elsewhere, we will be happy to provide periodic eye exams or treat any complications. You should obtain a copy of your child’s contact lens specifications (brand, power, diameter and base curve)

After a successful contact lens fitting, you may purchase your contact lenses through our office, or we can provide you with the prescription to order elsewhere.
