Contact Lenses
This consultation is different to your eye test. It involves an in depth examination of the front of your eye, including the tear film & eyelids. We measure the shape and size of your eye which helps us find the optimum fit for your contact lenses. You will spend time discussing your contact lens needs with your optician, who will then select the best contact lens for you to trial.
Contact Lenses will give you freedom from wearing your spectacles, which is perfect when playing sports or for special occasions.
Have you been told you can’t wear lenses? Think again. Contact lenses have been designed to suit all manner of different climates, lifestyles and vision needs.
Contact lenses for kids
Kids are some of our best contact lens patients. It may take a little time for a child to adapt to wearing contact lenses, but children are usually enthusiastic wearers of contact lenses as they do not have to worry about losing or breaking their glasses, feeling self-conscious in their glasses. They love the freedom it affords them when playing sports & other activities.
