Contact Lenses in Pensacola
At Dr. C. Vision Care, we offer a wide range of contact lenses in Pensacola to address various eye conditions. Whether you’re looking for traditional soft contact lenses or something more specialized, we have options specifically designed to meet your needs.
Getting started with contact lenses
All contact lenses require a current contact lens prescription. A contact lens prescription is separate from a glasses prescription and includes measurements specific to lens fit, curvature, and diameter.
Before you can get fitted for contacts, one of our doctors will perform a contact lens exam, which includes a full eye health evaluation along with the fitting measurements needed to identify the right lens for your eyes. If you’re new to contacts or switching lens types, a contact lens exam will ensure your contacts are safe, comfortable, and tailored specifically to your eyes.
Soft contact lenses
Soft contact lenses are one of the most popular options for vision correction due to their comfort and convenience. These lenses are made from flexible materials that mold to the shape of your eye, providing a snug fit and a high level of comfort throughout the day. They are available in various types, including daily, bi-weekly, and extended wear options.
Specialty contact lenses
At Dr. C. Vision Care, we offer a range of specialty contact lenses in Pensacola, Florida, to meet the unique needs of our patients. If you’ve had trouble with traditional soft contact lenses due to an eye condition, specialty contact lenses may be a better option. Specialty contact lenses can enhance vision and provide a more comfortable and stable fit for complex vision needs.
Our eye doctors have extensive experience in fitting patients with custom-designed lenses such as rigid gas permeable lenses (ideal for those with high astigmatism or keratoconus) and toric lenses for astigmatism. We can also prescribe cosmetic contact lenses to change or enhance the color of your eyes and prosthetic lenses to improve the appearance of an eye disfigured from a birth defect, trauma, or eye disease.
Contact lenses for presbyopia
If you’re over 40 and suddenly struggling to read the small print on menus or your phone, you may be experiencing presbyopia. This is a normal age-related change that happens as the lens of your eye loses flexibility, making it harder to focus on close-up objects.
At Dr. C. Vision Care, we offer contact lenses for presbyopia to ensure you have clear vision for all your activities. Monovision contact lenses correct one eye for distance and the other for near vision, while multifocal lenses include multiple prescription strengths in the same lens for near, intermediate, and far distance correction.
Contact lenses for kids and teens
Contact lenses can be a great option for children and teenagers who play sports, dislike how they look in glasses, or prefer the convenience of contacts. Research shows that kids as young as 8–12 can successfully wear and care for contact lenses when they’re motivated and responsible.
We work with younger patients until they feel comfortable handling their contact lenses and understand how to care for them safely each day. If your child is interested in contact lenses, schedule a pediatric eye exam and we’ll help determine whether contacts are a good option for them.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a separate prescription for contact lenses?
Yes. A contact lens prescription is different from a glasses prescription. It includes additional measurements, such as base curve and diameter, that are specific to lens fit. You’ll need a contact lens exam to receive a contact lens prescription.
Can I wear contacts if I have astigmatism?
Yes, we offer toric contact lenses designed specifically for astigmatism, as well as rigid gas permeable lenses for patients with higher degrees of astigmatism. Most patients with astigmatism have several lens options to choose from.
Can I wear contacts if I have dry eyes?
Yes, you often can. The key is matching the right lens type and replacement schedule to your dry eye severity. Our eye doctors will evaluate your tear film and recommend the most comfortable option for your eyes.
What's the difference between daily and monthly lenses?
Daily lenses are worn once and discarded with no cleaning required. Monthly lenses are reused for up to 30 days and require nightly cleaning and storage.
Daily lenses are generally more convenient and hygienic; monthly lenses tend to have a lower per-box cost. Your doctor will help you decide which schedule is the better fit for your lifestyle.
Can kids wear contact lenses?
Yes, many children and teens are great candidates for contact lenses. Age is less of a factor than maturity and willingness to follow a proper hygiene routine.
Do you carry contact lenses in stock?
We carry a selection of contact lenses in-office and can order specific brands, prescriptions, and quantities as needed. In many cases, trial lenses are available at your fitting appointment so you can try a lens before committing to a supply.
