Contact Lenses in Chattanooga

Crowder Eye Center offers the latest contact lens designs and materials. Many recent innovations have made wearing contacts more comfortable, and typically less expensive. Contact lens disinfection systems have been simplified and are much easier to use now. In many cases, we can provide same-day dispensing of your contacts from our large optical inventory.

Do your eyes thirst for comfort? For many contact lens wearers, dry eyes are very common. In the past couple of years, we have seen new silicone hydrogel lenses as well as daily disposable contacts develop to address dry eyes. These new materials dehydrate less and can deliver up to 6 times more oxygen to the cornea than the traditional hydrogel lenses.

Dr. Prodan and her staff were amazing! My 3yr old was very nervous and not wanting to corporate but they were able to calm her down, complete the exam, AND help her have a good experience. I couldn’t recommend them more!!

A welcoming office with friendly faces. Dr. Prodan was kind and did a great job explaining what she was doing during the appointment. Sadly, I have to wait a whole year until I get to go back.”
