Contact Lenses

Contact lenses can provide freedom from glasses for all sorts of occasions. Whether for daily wear, sports, social occasions or fashion there are a number of lenses to suit most needs. New advances in contact lenses mean that nearly all prescriptions can be covered even if you normally wear varifocals or reading spectacles. Newer contact lens materials are more comfortable and wettable than ever before so even if you have ever been unsuitable for contact lens before there may be a new lens to suit you.

If you would like to try contact lenses please speak to your Optometrist who will assess your suitability and recommend the best lenses for you before arranging a free trial of lenses. Don’t worry if you have not tried contact lenses before we will provide you with a teaching session on inserting and removing the lenses as well as showing you how to look after the lenses and your eyes!
