Contact Lenses in Carlsbad, CA
is a Carlsbad optometry practice providing contact lens exams and fittings for patients in the La Costa area and throughout North County San Diego. Our optometrist-led approach focuses on eye health, comfort, and clear vision using modern diagnostic technology.
Contact Lenses Designed Around Your Vision & Comfort
Contact lenses can support an active lifestyle and everyday convenience, but successful wear depends on proper fit and ongoing eye health.
At our Carlsbad office, your optometrist evaluates your eyes carefully and discusses how different contact lens options may work for your vision needs, comfort preferences, and daily activities.
Contact Lens Exams at Modern Eyes Optometry
A contact lens exam includes additional testing beyond a glasses exam because lenses rest directly on the surface of the eye.
During your visit, your eye doctor will assess vision, corneal measurements, and eye surface health to guide safe lens selection and wear.
If you’ve experienced dryness, irritation, or fluctuating clarity, your optometrist can review your current lenses and discuss alternatives that may better suit your eyes.

Explore Our Specialty Lens Options
Advanced Scleral Lenses
Scleral lenses are larger contact lenses that vault the cornea, resting on the eye surface to support comfort, stability, and clearer vision for corneal conditions.
RGP and Hybrid Lenses
RGP and hybrid lenses provide precise vision when soft lenses fall short, with your eye doctor determining suitability based on corneal shape and visual demands.
Keratoconus Contact Lenses
Keratoconus can change the corneal shape and blur vision. Your optometrist may recommend custom contact lenses after evaluation to improve clarity and stability.
Ortho-K & Contact Lens Options for Myopia Management
For children experiencing progressive nearsightedness, early evaluation with an optometrist can help guide care decisions. Our myopia management services include contact lens–based options such as orthokeratology (ortho-k) and NaturalVue® lenses (off-label use), discussed as part of a comprehensive eye doctor–led assessment. Recommendations are tailored to your child’s vision, eye health, and age.
Contact Lens Recycling & Sustainability
We collect used contact lenses, blister packs, and contact lens cases from any brand (everything except the paper box).
We recycle them through Bausch + Lomb’s One by One program with TerraCycle, and in 2025, we collected 600 pounds.
We also partner with CooperVision’s Plastic Bank program, which funds plastic collection to offset the plastic used in contact lens production (net-zero plastic impact).
