Avagen is an easy, in-office test performed by a technician or doctor at the Contact Lens Institute of Nevada. A simple cheek swab is all it takes. Fast, easy, and no pain!
Once your unique results are available, you will be scheduled with one of the doctors to review your test results and answer any questions you may have.
