What Are Contact Lenses?
Nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and age-related vision loss (presbyopia) are all very common visual impairments that affect a large number of people around the world. Thankfully, these issues can be easily treated with prescription contact lenses, eyeglasses, sunglasses, or a combination of the three to suit your lifestyle and daily needs. At The Eye Center of Central PA, we offer a full line of contact lenses (including specialty lenses for corneal conditions and astigmatism) to suit your unique needs at each of our optical centers throughout Central Pennsylvania.
Our facilities utilize the most advanced technology to fully assess your refractive error and eye health so we can accurately determine which contact lenses are right for your needs. Get in touch with one of our offices to schedule your eye exam with an optometrist and take your first step to see the world more clearly.
Who Gets Contact Lenses?
To determine the type and prescription of contact lenses you need, one of our optometrists will perform a comprehensive eye exam to fully understand your refractive error and vision needs. For many patients, contacts are the most convenient way to achieve their best sight on a day-to-day basis. Along with their convenience, contact lenses are designed to address a wide range of refractive errors, eye shapes, and eye conditions. Some of the more common types of contacts we offer include daily wear, one-day wear, bifocal, and astigmatism lenses.
Modern contacts are easier to wear now than ever before. In fact, as high as 90% of contact lens users report experiencing no discomfort. When opting for contacts, eyeglasses, sunglasses, or a combination of the three, it's important to consider factors, like your lifestyle, work conditions, daily activities, eye health, and your own unique preferences.

Contact Lenses Reviews
Everyone I dealt with at the Eye Center was courteous and very helpful. Dr. Greg Jarrett worked on getting me the best Eye Rx and answered all of my questions concerning the thickness of the lens, etc.I then purchased my eye glasses and the lady that waited on me was very helpful. I needed high density lenses and she picked out the perfect frame that I was looking for. I don’t have eye insurance and she worked up a discount that was more than I expected, reducing my cost in half. My glasses are transitional and progressive with no lines. They are better than the ones I purchased 2years ago at Vision max, did not have transaction lenses and were over $300.00 cheaper.
I saw Dr. Hartzell for cataracts and decided to get the new Light Adjustable Lens. It was life altering! I haven't been able to see near or far for so long (and didn't even realize how bad it really was!) I can now do everything without glasses and I am so happy. It was seriously the best decision I ever made. He and his staff were amazing in the office and the OR and he explains everything so incredibly well. He was kind and patient with my questions and I am just thrilled with my outcome.
Denise was FANTASTIC helping me select a new pair of glasses after my cataract surgery. She was very caring and knowledgeable regarding what I needed to do for insurance purposes, Medicare, and explained very well the items I could add to my prescription lenses. Also, I was very appreciative that she took the time to help me choose different styles and colors that looked good on me. I really needed that expertise for me to decide what was the best one for me.
I recently ordered new glasses with a new prescription. I couldn't wear them from day one. Very blurry. After several adjustments with various optical employees here and River Ave, they scheduled me with Dr. Bonner to recheck the prescription. He was so nice and helpful. They are remaking my lenses and a special thank you to Abby for adjusting the frames so they are more comfortable. She is very helpful. I will adjust my review accordingly after I get my new lenses. Thanks
This review is based on two areas of this business, specifically Dr. Fritz with The Eye Center, and Denise with the optical department.Dr. Fritz has been my optician for several years. She is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and takes the time to explain what she is doing, and how that affects my prescription changes.Denise, is so beneficial to this business, assisting patients/customers with a friendly face, and 35 years of knowledge, that is greatly appreciated. I always find that I’m looking for new glasses after my eyes have been dilated, and needless to say, my eyesight is pretty bad anyway, she assists me with picking out frames, that on the day I pick them up, I absolutely LOVE, and get numerous compliments.If you’re looking for an eye doctor, or new glasses, definitely call The Eye Center in Lewisburg. They’re fantastic!

Follow-Up
At The Eye Center of Central PA, patients are able to receive their contacts quickly and conveniently, typically within as little as four business days. Individuals who get contact lenses will need to attend a follow-up appointment in about six weeks to make sure their lenses fit well and are functioning normally. Even after patients receive vision correction help with contact lenses or glasses, it's still essential to attend yearly or biennial appointments to have their eyes thoroughly examined for any changes in their refractive error and to ensure that their eyes are still healthy. During these appointments, we will assess the overall health of the eyes, as well as the patient's prescription to see if it needs to be adjusted.
