The experience with Eye Mechanix was the best! I'm one of those that's nervous at any doctor or exam, but they made it enjoyable, comfortable, and were very supportive. I am getting my very first pair of glasses there. Dr. Randy Ricketts was very thorough and answered all my questions. The team was very helpful at finding the right glasses for me and letting me know what to expect ahead of time. I can't wait to see more clearly thanks to the doctor and his team of stylish experts!

Not all eyes are the same. A perfect contact lens fit starts with a comprehensive eye exam to ensure you have the most up-to-date prescription and to rule out any conditions that could interfere with contact lens wear. If needed, we'll make you your very own custom-made contact lenses for lasting comfort and crisp vision.
