Contact lenses have changed enormously in recent years and there are now contact lenses available for most prescriptions. We fit all contact lenses from daily disposables to extended wear and also gas permeable.
If you are new to contact lenses your optometrist will discuss the pros and cons of the different type of lenses and advise you which are suitable to try. You can discuss the possibilities during your routine eye examination.
If you decide to try lenses a contact lens appointment can be arranged. After checking the front of your eyes the optometrist will place the lenses on your eyes for you to allow you to feel just how comfortable modern lenses are and to check the vision with them. Following this you are taught how to handle the lenses and care for them before taking them home for an extended trial.
Your follow up will allow you to report back on how you have found the lenses, allow your optometrist to check your eyes are tolerating them well and discuss if there are any other lenses you should try.
Contact lenses can make a huge difference to people’s lives. Whether it s a youngster struggling with PE and sports at school or someone just starting to rely on glasses for reading and close work lenses can help for all ages.
As an independent practice we can select lenses from the full range of manufacturers rather than being tied to a limited list.
