Contact Lens Exams FAQs
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.
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.
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.

Fantastic staff and Drs. Really caring people.
Michael T. - Apr 20, 2026
For the last 6 months or so, I have been having trouble with my right eye. It just ACHES on occasion... Show More. I went to a Doctor of Optometry in Ft. Collins, who referred me to a clinic in The Republic of Bouldah.
Well, I made that drive (Twice!) in the course of 10 days, because the OD in FC *thought* she saw a problem with my retina.
To make a long story short (yeah, I know . . . too late!), there was NO problem. After cold calling Dr. Matthew Skrdla, mainly because of 350 5-star reviews on Google, I was able to get in today, Monday April 20th.
Dr. Skrdla is an OD as well, in an office in The Landings. His office has been there for around five years, if I remember my conversation with "Zoey" correctly.
He took all the time he needed to look at my eyes, moving me from specialty machine to specialty machine, designed to look into the depths of my eyes, if not my soul.
In the end, he came up with several versions of exactly WHY my eye might be aching. I asked him to tell me in layman terms what they were, but even his "dumbed down" version was more than I can follow. Not really, but it is certainly more than I can repeat.
After the exam, Zoey took over the process, showing me different frames for lenses. As a first-time customer, as she said, they offered me a 40% DISCOUNT on my first pair of glasses. The same discount will apply to the second pair as well, when *if* the first pair works out. She gave me a time frame to buy the second pair with the same discount, which, as I recall, was 90 days. I certainly felt as if it was plenty of time to evaluate the first pair.
It will take a few weeks to get my new glasses in. In the meanwhile, I will make do with my 1.75 diopter "readers", which have gotten me this far.
As it turns out, my right eye has an astigmatism, and BOTH eyes need 2.25 diopter correction lenses! There was more to it than that, but THAT is a good beginning.
Zoey will be in touch when it's time to move forward with my new eyes. I can hardly wait!
