We consider your visual needs for work, play, and everything in between to ensure you receive the perfect fit.

Comprehensive Contact Lens Options in Mandan

Soft Contact Lenses

Soft lenses remain the most popular choice for many Bismarck and Mandan residents due to their immediate comfort and adaptability. These lenses must be replaced daily, weekly, or monthly depending on the specific type recommended by your optometrist.

Benefits of our soft contact lenses include:

  • Superior comfort from the first wear

  • Excellent for sports and active lifestyles common in North Dakota

  • Difficult to dislodge during physical activities

  • Available for most prescriptions, including astigmatism

  • Enhanced breathability with advanced silicone hydrogel materials

At Vision Source Mandan, we offer premium brands from leading manufacturers including Alcon, Bausch & Lomb, CooperVision, and Acuvue, giving you access to the latest contact lens technology.

Gas-Permeable (GP) Lenses

Sometimes called Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) contacts, these durable lenses provide exceptionally sharp vision quality and correct most vision problems. Made from moderately flexible, highly oxygen-permeable materials, GP lenses offer several advantages:

  • Superior visual clarity, especially for complex prescriptions

  • More durable and longer-lasting than soft lenses

  • Easy handling and simplified care routines

  • Excellent option for patients with certain corneal conditions

While GP lenses require a longer adaptation period, many Mandan patients prefer them for their crisp, clear vision.

Multifocal Contact Lenses

As we age, presbyopia (difficulty focusing on near objects) becomes common, joining conditions like astigmatism as common reasons patients seek corrective lenses. Our multifocal contacts eliminate the need for reading glasses or bifocals by providing both distance and near vision correction in one lens. Available in both soft and GP designs, these sophisticated lenses help you maintain visual freedom at any age.

The Alcon Dailies Total One Multifocal has become a favorite among our Bismarck and Mandan patients for its exceptional comfort and vision quality throughout the day.

Specialty Contact Lenses

Medically Necessary Contact Lenses

Some eye conditions, such as keratoconus, require specialized contact lenses for clear vision when glasses can’t provide adequate correction. Our eye doctors are experienced in fitting:

  • Hybrid contact lenses (RGP center with soft lens outer ring)

  • Scleral lenses (large-diameter RGP lenses)

  • Traditional RGP lenses customized for irregular corneas

We work closely with insurance companies to help with coverage for these medically necessary devices.

Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

My annual eye exam is always an excellent experience with Dr. Danielle Dyke. The exam is always thorough, and Dr. Dyke takes the time to explain my eye health in a way I can understand. The Vision Source eye clinic is modern, clean, and the staff is very welcoming. I always feel comfortable and well-cared for at my appointment. I highly recommend Dr. Dyke and Vision Source!

Patricia G.

Dr. Schauer did an amazing job getting my eye infection cleared up. As I sat in my room waiting my turn, because I had a last minute appointment, I could hear her working with a family next door that had young kids.

Fred S.

Whenever I have had eye issues, they have made efforts to get me in asap. Which I really appreciate. I have had Dr. Aberle and Dr. Dyke and they are both excellent. Recently, I saw Dr. Aberle for a chronic eye problem in one eye & he fixed the problem. Honestly, it felt like a miracle. The office staff is also very pleasant to deal with.

Sheila S.

I've literally been a lifelong customer since 5th grade when it was Dr. Little! Dr. Schauer has taken over since Dr. Little retired. It's always a good, friendly experience with all of the staff there. I've never had a bad experience.

Bill S.

Deborah C.

I was greeted by the front desk very efficiently. The person who did the first part of my history and did the testing like the little spritz in my eyes, etc, was very good. I really like my eye doctor, I feel that I get all my questions answered as well as she explains what she is seeing when she is examining my eyes.
