Contact Lenses in Glendale
More freedom in your day starts with a lens that fits your eyes—not just your prescription.
Dr. Arlene T. Yepremian, O.D. evaluates your vision, eye health, and daily routine to guide your contact lens choices. Whether you’re trying contacts for the first time or looking for a better fit, we’ll help you understand your next step.
Everyday lenses, chosen around you
How often you wear contacts, your tear film, and your vision needs all matter. Your exam helps determine which lens design and replacement schedule are appropriate for your eyes.
Reusable lenses
Some lenses are replaced every two weeks or monthly. They require cleaning, disinfection, and storage after each wear, along with the exact replacement schedule prescribed.
Different vision needs
Toric designs address astigmatism, while multifocal designs address distance and near vision. Lens design and replacement frequency are separate choices we’ll discuss with you.
A good fit takes more than a glasses prescription
Contacts sit directly on your eyes. A contact lens assessment adds measurements and fit checks to your eye health and vision evaluation, helping us select a lens that works with your eye’s surface.
- Measure: Assess corneal shape and evaluate the tear film when needed.
- Fit: Check how trial lenses sit, move, and correct your vision.
- Teach: Review insertion, removal, cleaning, and wear instructions.
- Follow up: Recheck comfort, vision, and eye health before finalizing your prescription.
When standard contacts aren’t the right fit
Discomfort or an irregular cornea doesn’t automatically rule out contact lenses. A specialized assessment helps identify the right pathway for your eyes.

Small care habits protect your eyes
- Wash and thoroughly dry your hands before handling lenses.
- Keep lenses away from water and saliva. Remove them before swimming or showering.
- Use the recommended disinfecting solution for reusable lenses. Never top off old solution.
- Clean and replace your lens case as directed, and follow your prescribed replacement schedule.
- Don’t sleep in contacts unless specifically prescribed for overnight wear.
If you develop pain, redness, light sensitivity, or sudden blurred vision, remove your contacts and contact us promptly. Don’t put the lenses back in until you’ve received guidance.
Dispose of lenses responsibly
Never flush contacts down a toilet or sink. Their small size also makes them unsuitable for typical curbside recycling.
The Bausch + Lomb ONE by ONE Recycling Program, through TerraCycle, accepts used contact lenses, blister packs, and top foil through participating collection locations.
Ask our office about current program participation and collection instructions before bringing materials in. If a dedicated collection option isn’t available, place used lenses in the trash and follow local rules for packaging.
Questions before ordering?
Call us to confirm that your contact lens prescription is current and ask about office ordering arrangements. Have your lens brand, prescription details, and remaining supply handy so we can guide you efficiently.
If your prescription has expired—or your lenses no longer feel comfortable—we’ll help you arrange an assessment before you reorder.
