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. 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.
Color Contact Lenses
Express yourself by enhancing or completely changing your eye color with our selection of colored contact lenses. Whether you want a subtle enhancement or dramatic transformation, we offer options for both light and dark eyes.
Popular choices include:
Orion Vision Theatrical – Ideal for special events, costumes, or creating a unique look for occasions
Alcon Air Optix Colors – Perfect for everyday wear with natural-looking results
Our experienced team provides personalized consultations to help you find the perfect shade to complement your skin tone and achieve your desired appearance. We ensure proper fitting and education on safe handling techniques, as colored lenses require the same professional care as regular contacts. Many patients are surprised to learn that even those with perfect vision can enjoy colored contacts for cosmetic purposes when properly fitted by an eye care professional.
Beyond aesthetics, we prioritize your eye health and comfort throughout the selection process. Our comprehensive eye exams determine which brands and materials work best for your unique eyes, considering factors like tear production and corneal shape. Schedule your color contact lens consultation today to explore the possibilities and discover how a simple change in eye color can boost your confidence and create exciting new looks for any occasion.
Specialty Contact Lenses
Medically Necessary Contact Lenses

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

- Traditional RGP lenses customized for irregular corneas
We work closely with insurance companies to help with coverage for these medically necessary devices.
