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 - Academy in Colorado Springs today.

Emily was just amazing , The sweetest woman I have ever came across

Okay so I want to start this off with complementing the staff and doctors. Absolutely amazing people... and outstanding care. I’m so glad to find an eye doctor who accepts Medicaid! I have great vision, but recently I had something in my eye that scratched my cornea. It was the worst feeling in the world! They let me come in same day for an appointment before work, and worked super fast but with great care. Before them, I went to the ER. And they brushed me off like it wasn’t a big deal. The doctor at ABBA actually looked in my eye with a microscope to make sure the obstruction was out- it was thankfully. But I had scratches and irritation that is in the process of healing. Everyone was so kind and patient. I couldn’t ask for better. Thank you!

Shout out to EMILY! Amazing experience all around! My daughter has been going to the Fountain one fo... r years w/all great things to say, so I finally made it in for my exam but I went to the N Circle one. The Dr/staff were so amazing! When my contacts came in, it took me months to actually pick up (due to fractured ankle & injured back from gma on trampolines for M-Day) then hurt dominant arm, I was a mess! So I finally made it into the store before it moved locations but had to exchange 2 boxes & they were supposed to go to the Lake store near my home but somehow still went to the new store really far from me. When I called & Emily said they could mail them I thought it’d take too long but before I could say anything, Emily went way above & BEYOND saying she lived near the Lake store, so she’d be happy to drop them off there for me to pick up! What!? Really!? Im just beside myself at the service & her willingness to do that for me! I work in the medical field also & all too often do we hear all the awful complaints but rarely the appreciation & acknowledgment for being there for our patients. So THANK YOU EMILY for your amazing heart & service!! 💕

I have been coming here for my examination, glasses, and contacts for a couple of years now, and wil... l continue to do so. There are other options closer to me, but it is worth the extra drive for the added care that they show.

We have had two amazing experiences at this location. In February I had my eye exam and a contact fi... tting. Today, my daughter had her annual eye exam. The optometrist is very kind, and explains everything clearly. AJ, who did both of our prep, helped me find glasses and order contacts was incredible. She was so helpful and made sure we were completely satisfied with our service. We live in Fountain, but we will always make the drive to this location because of the service provided. Thank you!

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.
