Contact Lens Services
At Ópticas Visual, we offer comprehensive contact lens services for both regular wearers and first-time users. Our English-speaking optometrists will help you find the right lenses for your eyes, lifestyle, and budget.
What We Offer
- Contact lens fitting — professional evaluation of your corneal curvature, tear film quality, and prescription to determine the best lens type
- Trial lenses — try before you buy to ensure comfort and vision quality
- Prescription verification — if you have a current prescription, we'll verify it and match you with the right lenses
- Free eye exam — if you don't know your prescription, we'll determine it at no cost
- Insertion and removal training — for first-time contact lens wearers, we'll teach you proper technique
- Care instructions — proper hygiene, storage, and replacement schedules
Types of Contact Lenses
Daily Disposable
The most convenient option, especially for travelers. Wear a fresh pair each day and discard at night — no cleaning solutions needed, no cases to carry. Daily lenses are ideal if you only wear contacts occasionally or want the healthiest option for your eyes.
Biweekly (Two-Week) Lenses
A good balance between convenience and value. These lenses are replaced every two weeks with daily cleaning and overnight storage. They offer excellent oxygen permeability and comfort for extended wear periods.
Monthly Lenses
The most economical option for regular wearers. Replaced once a month with daily cleaning. Monthly lenses are available in the widest range of prescriptions, including options for astigmatism and presbyopia.
Specialty Lenses
- Toric lenses — designed for astigmatism correction, available in daily, biweekly, and monthly options
- Multifocal lenses — for presbyopia (age-related near vision loss), providing clear vision at all distances
- Colored lenses — cosmetic or prescription colored contacts to change or enhance your eye color

Tips for Travelers
If you wear contact lenses and you're planning a trip to Oaxaca, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Bring extra lenses — Oaxaca's dusty streets and high altitude can cause lenses to dry out faster than usual
- Pack rewetting drops — the dry climate at 1,500 meters elevation can make your eyes feel drier than normal
- Carry your prescription info — save a photo of your contact lens box or prescription on your phone
- Consider daily disposables — they're the most hygienic option for travel and require no cleaning supplies
- Bring backup glasses — if you don't have a pair, we can make affordable backup glasses starting at ~$87 USD
Contact Lens Care Supplies
We also sell contact lens care products including multipurpose cleaning solutions, saline solution, rewetting drops, and lens cases. If you ran out of supplies during your trip, we can get you set up.
