Contact Lenses
Contact lenses are very comfortable and a great alternative to wearing glasses particularly for sport, travel or social wear. They are also of benefit to patients with high prescriptions. Even if you wear contact lenses it is vitally important that you have a pair of spectacles as a “back up” when contact lenses cannot be worn because of eye infections, hay fever, etc..

The Fitting:
As contact lenses are worn on the eye it is important to ensure that your eyes are healthy and that the prescription is current. During the test the size, shape and curvature of your eye is measured. From all this information, the optometrist will determine which lens would suit you most.
For first time wearers it is important that you can insert and remove your lenses, and you practice good hygiene and contact lens management. We will give you a full tuition on how to handle your lenses.
