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 - Nevada in Northeast 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.

Because of my multiple vision issues, I've been to several of the top opticians in Colorado Springs ... and Denver to buy new glasses over the years. ABBA eye care on Nevada, and specifically one of the opticians there named Brittney, provided the best assistance I've ever had. Knowledgeable and patient, she was able to give me valuable input on the right glasses for my needs. After the glasses arrived she took her time making sure the necessary adjustments were made. Very pleased with the glasses and with ABBA eye care.

This was my first eye exam in CO since moving here in the fall. The entire experience was flawless..... .from the front desk to the exam by Dr Herbert. Everyone was polite and knowledgeable . I was excited to see they have the OptoMap instead of dilation. Dr Herbert was polite, thorough , and friendly. Highly recommend to family and friends.

This was my first visit to ABBA after my previous provider dropped UHC. Dr. Todd Hebert was great. H... e took the time to explain my options to me. Jeff Stevens the assistant practice manager taught me how to use contacts and explained the intricacies of eye insurance to me. He was friendly, patient and professional. Thanks!!!

I like this place. Most companies require you to hand in your lenses and go blind for 2 weeks in ord... er to use your warrenty. Not ABBA! I called them to confirm my lenses were still under warranty, and to my surprise, they were able to order them over the phone! When they arrived, I drove to their shop and left 15 minutes later with my new lenses. It's so nice to find a buisness that cares about their customers!

I went to the Abba on Nevada and Brittney helped me get my glasses adjusted, even though I didn't bu... y them there. It's so helpful since they are right around my house. I can run over on my lunch break. She took all of maybe two minutes to do my glasses and sunglasses.
