Contact Lenses

University Eye Specialists performs contact lens fittings and renewals. Our opticians understand that our patients have busy schedules and are happy to update your contact lens prescription as part of your eye examination.

For patients with specific contact lens concerns or certain medical conditions such as keratoconus, Dr. John Yang has an expertise in contact lenses and he can fit even the most challenging prescriptions. Whether you're experiencing contact lens intolerance, require gas permeable lenses, or need a simple renewal of your prescription, we offer the full spectrum of contact lens services.

When contact lenses work right, they are a convenient, simple solution for improving vision. When a contact lens is misused or poorly fit, the contact lens may not float properly on the eye risking corneal abrasion, corneal ulcers, and abnormal blood vessel growth.

As part of an eye examination our staff will ensure that you are wearing the optimal contact lens for your eye health. Daily disposable lenses and the latest breathable silicone hydrogel materials are just a few options we offer to ensure the most comfortable and healthy fit. In cases of chronic contact lens intolerance, LASIK eye surgery might be a helpful alternative to contact lenses. Laser vision correction is a safe, permanent solution to see clearly without the daily use of corrective lenses.

The optical shop provides contact lens fittings, instructions for new wearers, and lenses for purchase. Contact lenses may be conveniently shipped directly to you or picked up in the office. We offer the most popular products from manufacturers such as Johnson & Johnson (AcuVue), Bausch & Lomb, Cibavision, and Coopervision. We also offer services for specialty lenses, gas permeable lenses, hybrid hard-soft lenses, and cosmetic lenses.

Contact lenses can be ordered directly through our optical shop at the time of your visit, in-person, by phone or online. Call our optical shop at 312-475-1014, or you may submit your order online by clicking the following link: https://www.wewillship.com/index.html?id=2684
