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 Older hydrogel materials (a mixture of water and plastic polymers) are now being superseded by silicone hydrogel materials, a development introducing silicone into the plastic matrix.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.

If you play sport, you could find contact lenses ideal, because they won’t be affected by rain, snow, sweat or condensation. Of course, they also won’t fall off! You can easily wear other items over your eyes, like sunglasses, goggles or skiwear.
