We do not offer a payment plan, however we do participate with a program called “Care Credit.” Care Credit offers our patients the ability to buy their contacts and pay off the balance within six months without interest.

Will I still need glasses if I wear contact lenses?
Contact lenses may be worn most of the day and some lenses may even be slept in. Although you have the convenience of not needing your glasses to see, a pair of glasses should be available for times when you may not feel like wearing your lenses. Other reasons for having a pair of glasses are if you tear a lens, seasonal allergies that may affect your ability to wear your lenses or if you are traveling and lose a lens. Glasses are also a fashion accessory.
