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 Eye World in East El Paso 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.

Great service from a professional friendly staff
- Oct. 23, 2025
I would highly recommend anyone needing an eyeglasses or contact exam to visit Eye World. It was nic... e seeing an in person optometrist. I was welcomed by the friendly staff as soon as I walked in. I was first helped by Adam who is a wonderful and patient assistant. Then Dr. McMahon saw me. He was direct- just business- no small talk and that is fine. I am there for a service which he provided. After my exam- Matthew was very patient and helped me choose a frame that looked and suited me best based on my face shape. They have great specials and discounts when buying multiple pairs. I will be telling my friends and family about how great Eye World is and to definitely book an appointment with them.

Dr. McMahon IS THE MAN! He is one of the best eye doctors I’ve ever seen. He always takes great ca... re of my eyes, gives me exactly what I need, and makes sure I feel safe and comfortable during every visit. He truly cares about what’s going on with his patients and their well-being — not just their eyes, but their overall health. I’m really grateful to have a doctor who pays such close attention and genuinely cares.

Love Dr McMahon, professional and explains all. Adam A. Is the best assistant ever. Only drawback, ... has call center from who knows where and not able to put our appts together. Also the office has new optic retina system, would have appreciated a heads up on the extra cost. Call center needs to be in office to better inform and service appts. Would recommend Dr McMahon and Adam to everyone!
