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.

Bree and Jodi are wonderful and wise and I am so grateful for the service they provide.

I’m from out of State & needed to get a rubber nose pad for my sunglasses. Rodney at the front des... k immediately helped & repaired my glasses! Such a great friendly young man, and very professional! Thank you for being open the day before Thanksgiving!

I had a very pleasant experience here. Demitri, a respectful, well-versed young woman, very pleasant... in demeanor, checked me in. During the exam, Dr. O was very gracious to answer my questions comprehensively. He further explained information relevant to my circumstances. Which was helpful to me. Finally, I ended my visit with Rodney, an upbeat, cool cat with groovy glasses. He straightened my sunglasses, and cleaned them for me. I didn't even buy them there! A very likable guy. Without reservation I recommend this business.

They are so professional and kind. I had made a mistake by booking my appointment a little earlier i... n the year than my insurance allowed - but Brie was kindly able to get me some sample contact lenses to get me through AND she texted me to remind me when the correct time came around to order. I chose this practice kind of randomly and I’m so glad I did!

Excellent service and eyewear which includes lenses. Wondered about the warranty though. Manufacture... r of lenses and frames already offer a year warranty so what exactly are you paying for?
- Sep. 07, 2023
The staff was very well knowledgeable, and very friendly from walking into the door to finally meet ... the Doctor.
- Aug. 22, 2023
Great location. The staff is very easy to work with.
- Aug. 14, 2023
We always get good care here. They explain our insurance very well and are up front about all of the... costs. I started coming here after my regular eye doctor refused to give me my prescription, forced me to order contacts through him, and then only gave me six months’ worth instead of year, claiming that “you can actually wear monthlies for two months.” At first I was wary about going to a walk-in type place, but they actually caught a rare condition with my daughter’s eye during a routine check up.

I didn't feel rush by the staff and felt they were very professorial. It was a relaxing appointment... ; and they answered every question I asked them ( which were numerous ); fully and courteously.

On time, courteous, great customer service. I love my new glasses.
- Jun. 07, 2023
Staff is always great and welcoming. They take time to make sure the kids feel comfortable and don�... �t rush them when picking glasses frames.

The staff was so friendly Amen helpful at this location. Highly recommend them ! Thank you all for a... great experience
- May. 02, 2023
Highly recommend! I was visiting from out of town and had an unexpected extended stay. Without havin... g enough contacts on hand, ABBA’s was super friendly, helpful, and quick to help me out with some trial contacts to tie me over with my faxed RX from my hometown eye doctor. So grateful for how accommodating they were!

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.
