Discover the Freedom and Convenience of Contact Lenses

  • Need bifocal or multifocal contacts?
  • Rigid gas permeable or soft lenses?
  • Disposables, dailies or colored contacts?

Contact lenses give wearers a full field of focused vision no matter where you look. Because they move with your eyes, contacts help allow you to track action with sharp and clear peripheral vision. Moreover, if you lead an active lifestyle, contacts provide more freedom and flexibility to enjoy your favorite sports.

A contact lens exam will help us determine the perfect contact lens fit for your eyes and lifestyle!

What to Expect From Your Contact Lens Exam

  • Regular eye exam

    During your comprehensive eye exam your optometrist will check that your eyes are healthy and will test your vision to determine your contact lens prescription.

  • Contact lens consultation

    During your contact lens exam your optometrist will check for dry eye symptoms and consult with you to determine what type of contact lenses are the best fit for your lifestyle and vision needs.

  • Contact lens fitting

    For ideal vision correction and comfort, contact lenses must fit well. Your optometrist will examine the size and shape of your cornea and pupil to ensure the right fit.

  • Contact lens trial and follow-up

    Your optometrist will insert trial lenses and ask you to keep them on for 15-20 minutes to be sure the fit is comfortable and vision is clear. After a few days, you'll come in for a follow-up evaluation.


Where Can I Get a Contact Lens Exam?

The right contact lenses, carefully fitted and prescribed by your optometrist, can provide many benefits and prevent discomfort and eye disease.

Once you have determined the right contact lens, you can start enjoying the benefits and freedom of daily or regular contact lens wear.

We offer contact lens exams at our eye clinic and will help determine the best contact lenses for your needs and eye shape. Simply schedule your appointment by contacting Crown Vision Center - O' Fallon in O'Fallon today.

My recent visit with Dr. McCoy and his staff was exceptional! My older brother is blind and I am con... ditioned by media to fear lifestyle limiting conditions such as cataracts and macular degeneration. Both the technician and Dr. McCoy greeted me with confident smiles, gentle manners and addressed my concerns with straight forward explanations. Dr. McCoy was thorough, precise and exacting. There wasn't anything about my vision that he didn't check out. The office imaging technology was terrific and so easy to do! Being able to view the retina images of my eyes on a screen as Dr. McCoy explained put me at ease.

My Grandson and I both needed glasses, and he's a first time contact wearer. When my grandson was tr... ying to put his contacts in, he had a very hard time. The ladies at Crown Vision were so very patient with him, I think it took him somewhere around 3 hours the first time, and almost 2 hours the next morning. They never made us feel as if we were taking up to much of their time. They were so patient and friendly and tried so many different ways to help him. We had to meet them at Crown Vision on Midrivers mall drive the next morning for extra practice, because he still couldn't get them in. The ladies continued to be patient , helpful and encouraging , and showed him many different ways to try. After trying so many times, he was finally able to get them in. He almost gave up, but their assurance and encouragement made him keep trying. My Grandson is a Rugby player, so it is very important that he wears these during games. It's very hard to find this type of service, but these ladies are exceptional, and I recommend them and Crown Vision (Ofallon) for anyone needing extra attention. They were the definition of 5 Star.

Good Staff. Very efficent

I worked for the parent company of Crown Vision Centers, AEG, in their remote, outbound call group f... rom April until June. My job was to make appointments for others to various CVCs in the Saint Louis metro area. My wife and I were long overdue for our eye exam appointments, so I scheduled both of us before I recently changed jobs. I went to my appointment this past Saturday, and my wife also went recently to her appointment. I was thoroughly impressed with the friendliness, helpfulness and professionalism of everyone who I met that day: Riley, Hannah, and Dr. John! It was a great experience as a first-time customer, and I highly recommend the O'Fallon CVC!
