CONTACT LENSES

CONTACT LENS CONSULTATION / FITTING

Every eye is different. Differences include the diameter and the curvature of your eye, not to mention the severity of any vision problems that you might have. This is why getting the precise contact lens fitting is so important.

Our optician will take careful measurements of your eyes using a special instrument called a keratometer. Your eye dimensions will determine the shape and size of your lenses. Thereafter, we will have you wear trial lenses as a part of your fitting.

Modern contact lenses are designed to be very comfortable. Most are made of a soft material that is hardly noticeable, if at all, once the lenses are placed on the eyes.

We offer a wide range of contact lenses to suit most people, from most of the modern manufacturers, including; daily disposable, monthly and cosmetic-coloured lenses. To make sure that you are totally satisfied with the contact lenses which we help you choose you can try them before the purchase at no extra cost.

RIGID GAS PERMEABLE LENSES

Where a higher prescription is indicated, rigid lenses achieve sharper visual acuity. High astigmatism can also be corrected with RGP.

This type of lens is now rarely fitted and we have over 20 years experience in dealing with these lenses. Multifocal rigid gas permeable lenses are also available.

We can often have a new or replacement lens within 24 hours.
