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 - Woodmen in 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.

Dr. Kerry Garwood is wonderful. My 6 year old was a little nervous because she didn't know what to e... xpect and Dr. Garwood made her feel so comfortable. She was so friendly, patient, and kind. She explained things so we both understood and when we were done she even took her out and showed her some of the frames. It was a wonderful experience! Highly recommend! 👍🏽👍🏽

Both, Dr. Garwood and Optician Adrian were knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. The reception ... staff was friendly as well. Along with my eye exam, I purchased my everyday glasses and a pair of sunglasses after my appointment, with input from both Dr. Garwood and Adrian. Both pair of glasses seem to be working fine.

This place is great, it was quick, everyone was friendly, and I had my concerns fully addressed.
- Jun. 09, 2024
They are extremely thorough with the health and caring for your eyes. They don't rush you and answer... any questions you need answered. They are a busy office for a good reason. Glasses are more expensive than other options in town, but I think it's worth every penny to get updated care. I'll continue going here as long as they take my Tricare insurance.
- Jun. 07, 2024
Everyone here is awesome but if you want to see them you have to call in for the appointment, otherw... ise the online system will schedule you to come in and see a remote doc via tele-health, fsr
