We’ve been fitting contact lenses for over 35 years and have watched the technology evolve. Whatever your needs we’ll get a contact lens for you.
Soft contact lenses and Dailies
These have the advantage of being easy to wear, providing good comfort without a long period of adaptation. Older hydrogel materials (a mixture of water and plastic polymers) are now being superseded by silicone hydrogel materials, a development introducing silicone into the plastic matrix. These provide up to five times the oxygen permeability of the older lens materials allowing the eye to breathe more easily and promote better eye health while wearing lenses.
Toric soft lenses can correct astigmatism and multifocal lenses may help those over 40’s who experience reading difficulty.
Daily Disposable
Daily disposables are contact lenses that are worn for a day and then simply disposed of. They are very comfortable and are a simple and convenient way of correcting your vision.
Here’s why you might like them:
- You never have to clean them with solutions of any kind.
- At the end of the day, you just take them out and throw them away.
- Extra space in your suitcase when you go on holidays as no need to pack cleaning solutions.
- Every day, just wear a new pair. No need to worry about how long you’ve worn them and if a new pair are due.
- No blind spots as with glasses frames – all round clearer view
- If you suffer from allergies or hayfever you are more likely to be successful with this type of lens than a monthly disposable.
Twice Monthly Disposable
- Twice monthly disposable contact lenses that can be worn daily for up to two weeks at a time. They must be removed at night and cleaned and stored with the solutions recommended to you by your optician.
- Twice monthly lenses in some cases may offer better value since you purchase fewer lenses.
- They are typically made from a material called silicone hydrogel which allows much more oxygen through the lens compared to standard contact lenses. This is good for your eye health and aids comfort.
Monthly Disposable
Among the many advantages of wearing monthly disposable lenses:
- You only need 12 pairs of contact lenses for the whole year.
- Option of silicone hydrogel material which allows much more oxygen through the lens compared to standard contact lenses. This is good for your eye health and aids comfort.
- Monthly disposable contact lenses can be worn daily for up to a month. They must be removed before going to bed each night, then cleaned and stored with the solutions recommended to you by your optician.
- They come in different types including monthly toric (corrects astigmatism), monthly multifocal (allows you to see distance and near), and monthly coloured (enhance or change the colour of your eyes).
Coloured Contact Lenses
Contact lenses can be used for cosmetic purposes as well as for correcting eyesight. Those who have a desire to change the colour or appearance of their eyes can benefit from coloured lenses. Ask our Optometrist about our range of coloured contact lenses that can enhance or even change the colour of your eyes.
Multifocal Contact Lenses
Why not try Multifocal Contact Lenses? They are similar to varifocal prescription lenses in glasses. These contact lenses can improve visual clarity at all distances including long distance and reading distance combining convenience with efficiency.
