We pride ourselves on our contact lens service. If you’re considering contact lenses, we are here to help. Lens technology advances in recent years mean that contact lenses are more comfortable and convenient than ever before, and can be made to suit almost any prescription. Even if you’ve been told in the past that you’re not suited to contacts, or you’ve tried them and didn’t get on with them, we encourage you to try again.
What to expect
A contact lens fitting appointment consists of our optometrist discussing your lens needs and lifestyle to help you choose the best type of lenses for you. The optometrist will discuss the finer details of contact lens wear, including how to care for your lenses. Of course, they will also teach you how to insert and remove your lenses and ensure you are comfortable with both before leaving.
Benefits of contact lenses
When deciding whether to choose contact lenses, there are many factors to consider. Your eye health, lifestyle and preferences are all important. The advancement in contact lens technology means that those with complex prescriptions shouldn’t count themselves out. There are lots of benefits to wearing contact lenses. They don’t fog up or get dirty like glasses lenses, and if you’ve ever worn glasses in the rain you’ll know how irritating it can be when raindrops land on the lens and obscure your vision.
Who are contact lenses suitable for?
Contact lenses are suitable for both adults and children, kids from as young as 9 and up adapting very well to wearing them. We also offer specialist myopia-control contact lenses for children. Any standard refractive error that means you need to wear glasses full-time, including presbyopia, which requires multifocal lenses, can be treated with contact lenses. Even if you have astigmatism, where the cornea or lens is abnormally shaped, you can still wear contact lenses.
