Want to reinvent your look?

If you’ve been diagnosed with nearsightedness, farsightedness, or even astigmatism, contact lenses are a great choice to help you see clearly. Contacts offer a full field of focused vision wherever you look. Because they move with your eyes, they allow you track moving objects with sharp and clear and peripheral vision.

Palos Eye Professionals will help you find the perfect contact lenses for your needs and lifestyle.

How Contacts Can Help You See & Look Your Best

  • They’re great for sports and the outdoors

    Contacts offer a clear, wide field of vision, so that you can keep your eye on the ball, no matter where it is.

  • They provide visual comfort like never before

    Today’s contact lenses are made from a wide range of comfortable, breathable materials, ensuring a great wearing experience.

  • You can choose from a range of options

    Whether you need monthly, weekly, or daily lenses for single vision, astigmatism, multifocal correction, or even colored and toric lenses, we've got you covered with contact options to fit every need and lifestyle!

  • They’re perfect for every situation

    Contact lenses won’t get wet in the rain or fog up when you wear a mask. Enjoy the freedom, comfort and convenience of contacts on a night out, when exercising, or just an ordinary day at the office.


What to Expect at Your Contact Lens Exam & Fitting in Palos Heights

  • Eye doctor consultation

    During your contact lens exam, your eye doctor will ask you about your medical history and discuss any lifestyle or health considerations you may have. Do you have astigmatism or dry eye syndrome? Seeking colored contact lenses? Are you over 40 and struggling to read small print in books and menus? No matter the issue, we'll make sure you get the perfect contacts for your needs.

  • Get your contact lenses fitted

    Poorly fitted contacts can cause blurry vision, discomfort and may even damage the cornea. To ensure you have the most comfortable fit possible, your eye doctor will take measurements and run tests to find the right contact lens for you.

  • Receive your trial pair of contact lenses

    Once your eye doctor has determined the optimal lenses for your needs and eyes, they will often offer you a trial pair. Once you’re satisfied with the comfort and clarity of vision these contacts provide, you can buy as many contact lenses as you need for ultimate comfort and clear vision.

Contact Lens FAQs

Can children wear contact lenses?

Yes. Contact lenses can be an excellent vision correction option for children. There’s no specific age recommendation for children to start wearing contacts. Rather, parents should assess when their child is mature enough to properly care for them. Proper storage, cleaning and hygiene when inserting and taking out contact lenses are all essential for successful contact lens wear.

Can I wear contact lenses if I have astigmatism?

Yes. Toric lenses are a specific type of contact lens specially designed to address issues connected to astigmatism. In most cases, those with astigmatism can wear their choice of soft contact lenses, including monthly and daily disposables.

Are contact lenses comfortable?

Yes. Original hard contact lenses used to be quite difficult to adapt to. However, thanks to technological advancement, today's contacts are more breathable and comfortable than ever before. In most cases, soft contact lenses are easy to adapt to, even from the very start.

Why might daily disposable lenses be right for me?

Daily disposable lenses are a good choice for those who enjoy the convenience of throwing out used contacts each night, and inserting a new pair in the morning. This saves money, since there is no need for contact lens solution or a case to keep the lenses in. It also ensures that no debris has accumulated on the lenses overtime, since you insert a new one every day.

Why might monthly-wear contact lenses be right for me?

Monthly-wear lenses are great for those responsible enough to take good care of their lenses according to their eye doctor’s instructions. They tend to be made of sturdier material than daily-wear lenses, meaning they don’t tear as easily. The material also lets in more oxygen to the eye, preventing serious complications that can harm your long-term eye health. They are also more eco-friendly (think one lens per month vs. thirty) and are less expensive up-front.

I appreciated the professionalism of the entire staff from receptionist, to doctor, to the technicia... n who fitted me and ordered my glasses. My only concern is that because I didn't have insurance coverage, I had to select a cheaper frame than what I am accustomed to having. The final price was higher than any glasses, with the same accessories, I have ever purchased. In the future I will be forced to shop around and not just accept the offer through my doctor's office. However, I was impressed that glasses were ready earlier than I was promised and everything was perfect. Good job but too pricey for my retiree income.

Absolutely amazing experience there. Everyone was knowledgeable and the absolute sweetest. In just o... ne meeting my doctor was able to explain my migraines whereas it took more than 5 years at my last place (to not get a single answer). 10 out of 10, definitely coming back and recommending them to everyone I know.

Dr. Nisar and her associates are great. They explain everything to you before they do it. The recep... tionist is always cheerful and helpful with answers to your questions. I didn't buy glasses yet but I will be back in December to do that. I was going to go to one of the big chains my sears optical closed so I went here I am happy I did.

Class act, A++++ service from the moment I walked through the door. Since the pandemic started and I... began working from home, my usage of computer devices, including my laptop and I-Phone, has increased exponentially, which in turn has caused my reliance on readers to also increase exponentially. As a result of the increased computer usage + age + allergens I have developed severely dry, red, irritated, itchy, painful eyes, which in turn has caused me to rely on readers for every single up-close activity I do, even non-reading/non-computer activities, such as opening a bottle of water, even brushing my teeth. The staff are extremely professional and knowledgeable. Before I saw Dr. Nassar the assistant, Annette, did a thorough initial intake, asking me my symptoms. Then she did a battery of vision tests, I looked at different letters and different flashing lights and then she asked me what I could and could not see. After my initial intake with Annette I saw Dr. Nassar, who did additional vision screening as well as an extremely thorough and detailed eye exam. Based on the vision testing, along with my symptoms, Dr. Nassar came up with a plan specifically tailored to my vision needs and also to help with the chronic dry eyes. After I saw Dr. Nassar I went to pick out my eyeglass frames. They have an adorable little eyeglass shop with an excellent selection of eyeglass frames at all price points. I picked out an adorable pair of eyeglass frames, and they allowed me to put half down for the frames and then pay the rest when the eyeglasses are ready. Top notch all the way around! Highly recommend.

On 10/13/22, I visited the Palos Eye Professionals and was greeted pleasantly by the receptionist. ... I had my exam done with Dr. Clodfelter which is always great and the eye pressure exam was given by a very nice woman as well. The eye glasses representative, Annette was a joy to work with when picking out glasses for my son and I. Annette was helpful, personable and friendly. Her colleague chose great glasses for my son's face. My experience here was excellent. I would definitely return and recommend for others!
