Contact Lenses

About Contact Lens Wear

Contact lenses provide an aesthetically pleasing solution to vision correction giving you the freedom and convenience to live life your way. They provide clear vision without the need for glasses and in many cases wearing contact lenses results in better vision than wearing spectacles.

Almost everyone who wears glasses can enjoy the freedom of contact lenses. You can wear contact lenses every day or you may prefer to wear them only occasionally, for sport or special events.

Contact lenses are fitted differently to glasses and so even if you are an existing glasses wearer you will require an eye examination before you wear contact lenses.

We advise you of the contact lens type which best suits your lifestyle and prescription requirements whether you require conventional or disposable lenses.

Disposable lenses are available in a variety of designs to suit almost any prescription. These include:

Daily Lenses - these are worn once then disposed of, meaning there is no regular cleaning required. They are ideal for sports or occasional wear.

Extended Wear Lenses - these can be worn continuously for a period of up to thirty days, as they are made from natural material which allows for oxygen transmission to the eye, promoting a healthy eye.

Multifocal Lenses
- these can be worn by people who require lenses for viewing up close and into the distance.
