Contact Lenses in The Villages, FL
Clear, comfortable vision without glasses. Villages Optical offers contact lens exams, fittings and a full range of contact lenses tailored to your needs.
Contact Lens Exams and Fittings
Contact lenses sit right on your eye, so they need their own measurements and their own prescription. Here’s what happens at your visit.
Comprehensive eye exam
We check your vision and the health of your eyes first, so your contact lenses start from an accurate prescription.
Cornea measurements
Keratometry measures the curvature of your cornea, the eye’s front surface. It’s essential for diagnosing astigmatism and fitting contact lenses.
Choosing your lenses
Our team helps you choose the lens type that suits your eyes, your vision needs and your daily routine.
Your contact lens prescription
You leave with a contact lens prescription made for your eyes. A glasses prescription alone isn’t enough to order contact lenses.
Types of Contact Lenses
There’s more than one kind of contact lens. We’ll recommend the type that suits your eyes and your routine.
Daily Disposable Contact Lenses
Single-use lenses you wear for one day and throw away at night. There’s no cleaning or storage case, so they’re a simple, fresh choice every morning.
- A fresh pair every day
- No cleaning solution or case

Biweekly Contact Lenses
Reusable lenses you replace every two weeks. You clean and store them each night between wears.
- Replaced every two weeks
- Cleaned and stored nightly
- A balance of cost and freshness
Monthly Contact Lenses
Lenses designed to be worn for about 30 days before you replace them, with nightly cleaning and storage.
- Replaced about every 30 days
- Cleaned and stored nightly

Light-Adaptive Contact Lenses
Contact lenses that sense the light around you and adjust smoothly from clear to darker, for comfortable vision indoors and out all day long.

Barrett BursonGoogle review I can't think of enough positive things to say about my recent experience with dealing this optometrist store location.

They were so accommodating, ...
D LGoogle review Sherry at Villages Optical was wonderful. She helped me replace lenses in a pair of old glasses that I love and purchase new glasses all while navigating my insurance benefits. I would definitely go back to them.
Rob & Kim SantosGoogle review Villages Optical was a great find! My husband and I went in for eye exams and the experience couldn’t have been better. Dr. E and Sherry were fantastic; friendly, professional, and just easy to be around. They actually make getting your eyes checked enjoyable… who knew?”
Kathleen MitchellGoogle review Went to Villages Optical for an eye exam and a pair of glasses. Exam was very detailed and helpful. Very good selection of frames and quick service. Great experience from all staff from Dr. to technicians.
Ronald AshleyGoogle review My first visit at Villages Optical, impressed! Dr. Glenn Pieschke gave me an outstanding exam. Very thorough, carefully explained everything, a real pro. The office is really nice, first class facility, with office staff Sherry and optician LaDonna welcoming and friendly. Did not feel like a first visit. Will go back without a doubt. Thanks all !
Donald SnyderGoogle review I was visiting the area and broke my eyeglass frames. Wasn’t sure they could even be fixed due to the type of frame. Les fixed them for me in 10-15 minutes at no charge. Exceptional service. Highly recommend this business. They make their own lenses on site, too.
