Discover the Freedom and Convenience of Contact Lenses

  • Need bifocal or multifocal contacts?
  • Rigid gas permeable or soft lenses?
  • Disposables, dailies or colored contacts?

Contact lenses give wearers a full field of focused vision no matter where you look. Because they move with your eyes, contacts help allow you to track action with sharp and clear peripheral vision. Moreover, if you lead an active lifestyle, contacts provide more freedom and flexibility to enjoy your favorite sports.

A contact lens exam will help us determine the perfect contact lens fit for your eyes and lifestyle!

What to Expect From Your Contact Lens Exam

  • Regular eye exam

    During your comprehensive eye exam your optometrist will check that your eyes are healthy and will test your vision to determine your contact lens prescription.

  • Contact lens consultation

    During your contact lens exam your optometrist will check for dry eye symptoms and consult with you to determine what type of contact lenses are the best fit for your lifestyle and vision needs.

  • Contact lens fitting

    For ideal vision correction and comfort, contact lenses must fit well. Your optometrist will examine the size and shape of your cornea and pupil to ensure the right fit.

  • Contact lens trial and follow-up

    Your optometrist will insert trial lenses and ask you to keep them on for 15-20 minutes to be sure the fit is comfortable and vision is clear. After a few days, you'll come in for a follow-up evaluation.

Where Can I Get a Contact Lens Exam?

The right contact lenses, carefully fitted and prescribed by your optometrist, can provide many benefits and prevent discomfort and eye disease.

Once you have determined the right contact lens, you can start enjoying the benefits and freedom of daily or regular contact lens wear.

We offer contact lens exams at our eye clinic and will help determine the best contact lenses for your needs and eye shape. Simply schedule your appointment by contacting ABBA Eye Care - Lake in Southeast Colorado Springs today.

Contact Lens Exams FAQs

Can dry eye sufferers wear contact lenses?

Usually, yes. While some types of contact lenses can aggravate symptoms of dry eye syndrome, such as eye dryness, redness and irritation, other contacts are perfectly suitable for dry eyes. Speak with an eye doctor near you regarding your dry eye symptoms, and they'll prescribe the perfect contact lenses for ultimate comfort.

Can a child wear contact lenses?

It's a case-by-case basis. Typically, eye doctors don’t prescribe contacts to children under the age of 11 or 12, though there are exceptions. Wearing contact lenses requires responsible care, including cleaning and disinfecting routines. Most teenagers can handle contact lens care if they’re motivated to wear contacts.

Do I need an eye exam and prescription for tinted contact lenses?

Yes! Even if you’re just using contacts to change the color of your eyes, you still need an eye exam and a prescription. Contact lenses are a medical device and require fitting by an eye doctor.

These people are wonderful. They are efficient and have a low waiting time. Also the best part is as... a adult medicade does not cover glasses on the exam. Abba has a program that allows you to select from a small selection of frames and then they cover your basic lenses and bifocals if needed. This was such a blessing for me. I am forever thankful for the way they took care of me and made sure I got what I needed to be able to see clearly. Thank you Abba for taking care of the less fortunate like we are paying customers.

Great experience, highly recommend. At an annual eye exam, the doctor was able to find an anomaly an... d sent me to a specialist to follow up. Thankfully it wasn’t anything major but so glad he flagged it.

Best place to go and great customer service!

They were very friendly, efficient, helpful and thorough. I am also extremely impressed with how qui... ckly the turnaround was to receive my glasses! I had my appointment on a Tuesday and was told that it would take about 2 weeks to receive both my glasses and sunglasses and maybe the same timeframe for my glasses that they had to turn over to the VA. By that Saturday, I had a tracking number (USPS informed delivery, I get emailed daily) saying that my pair from the VA will be delivered Monday AND that Monday morning I got a call from ABBA saying that my glasses were ready. By the time I went to pick them up that afternoon, my sunglasses had also been there ready for me to pickup! Everything just went so smoothly and I have zero complaints.
- Mar. 24, 2024
I had a very positive experience, largely due to the exceptional service provided by the staff. They... were notably attentive and courteous, demonstrating a genuine concern for my needs and inquiries. Their patience was evident throughout my interaction with them, ensuring that I felt comfortable and unhurried in expressing any questions or concerns I had. Furthermore, the staff's knowledge was impressive. They were well-prepared to address my queries, offering detailed and understandable explanations. This not only instilled confidence in the services offered but also contributed to a more enriching experience. Overall, the entire experience was pleasant, marked by a welcoming and supportive atmosphere. The staff’s professionalism and the quality of service significantly enhanced my satisfaction. I look forward to future interactions and would highly recommend their services to others based on my experience.
