New lens designs and materials make contact lenses more comfortable and safer than ever before. They offer greater freedom and flexibility, for example, when playing sport, and allow a wider field of view than glasses. They are also ideal for people who just want to wear them on special occasions.

Our optometrists have on average over 20 years experience of fitting contact lenses and we aim to ensure that you always see the same person for your follow up appointments.

New to contact lenses?
If you are new to contact lenses you will require a contact lens assessment. First of all we will examine your eyes to check their health and suitability for contact lenses.

Next we will talk to you about your health and lifestyle as well as ask you how often you want to wear your contact lenses. This information will allow us to choose the most suitable contact lens for you. In most cases we will have a suitable pair of trial lenses in stock.

Lens Types
We fit all types of contact lenses, including lenses for astigmatism and varifocal contact lenses. Being independent optometrists, we are not tied into any particular manufacturer. This will allow us to fit the most appropriate lens for your eyes. Contact lenses are constantly improving in both design and materials. Often people, who have had problems and stopped wearing lenses in the past or have been told that their eyes are not suitable for contact lenses, can be fitted with newer contact lens designs and materials.

Aftercare
Fortunately contact lenses rarely cause serious eye complications. It is important however, that you attend for routine aftercare to ensure that your contact lenses continue to fit you properly, that they are in good condition, and that your eyes are healthy. Regular check ups also allows us to make the latest lens designs available to you.

Our monthly contact lens care plan is a direct debit scheme that allows you to spread the cost of your eyecare. It includes the following:

• All contact lens aftercare appointments free of charge
