If you have worn contacts for years or are considering them for the first time, Rhode Eyeland makes finding the right lens convenient and comfortable.

New to contacts? Ask about Fit & Teach
Our Contact Lens Fit & Teach service walks first-time wearers through insertion, removal, hygiene, and lens care so you leave feeling confident. We match you with a lens style that fits your lifestyle — sports, screen time, all-day wear, occasional weekend use.
Patients told they cannot wear contacts often can with the right professional fitting. We see patients with astigmatism, dry eyes, keratoconus, post-surgical corneas, and other complex cases. If a previous fitting did not work for you, we suggest you try again.
Hard-to-fit eyes welcome
Comprehensive eye exam (required to confirm your eyes are healthy enough for lens wear)
Corneal measurements and tear-film evaluation
Trial lens fitting and follow-up evaluation
Personalized instruction for new wearers
Annual contact lens prescriptions and lens supply
