Contact lenses are the ideal option for experiencing everyday freedom and convenience without compromising your eyesight.

Technological advances mean that lenses can be used to correct many vision-related problems as soon as they are identified.
How will I get on..?
Wearing contact lenses for the first time can be a little daunting but do not worry all our contact lens practitioners are here to guide you through the process at your own pace .
Your Contact Lens Journey
The initial step is to book your contact lens fitting. At this appointment , your lifestyle and visual needs will be discussed and any concerns you have will be ironed out. We then recommend the best lenses for you taking into account the length of time you would like to wear your lenses , your eye health and your prescription. Once this has been established, we will run though very patiently the insertion and removal of your lenses, working at your pace.
Contact Lenses for all Visual Needs
There is a contact lens to suit you, no matter your prescription or eyecare requirements. Here is an insight into our lenses available.
Daily Disposables
Our most popular type of contact lenses, daily disposables, are the ultimate in convenience. Ideal for people who usually wear glasses but may choose to wear contact lenses while at the gym, playing sports or for a special occasion. Designed to be worn on a daily basis and disposed of after each use, these handy contact lenses come in a sealed container so that you can pop them into your eyes and you’re ready to go. Unlike monthly or fortnightly disposable contact lenses, you only wear daily contact lenses once and as soon as you remove them, you must throw them away and not attempt to clean them to re-use.
Monthly/Fortnightly Disposables
If you plan to wear contact lenses on a regular basis or instead of glasses, monthly or fortnightly disposable contact lenses might be the best option for you. These lenses need to be cleaned each night and are great value for money when worn regularly. Available in a wide range of prescriptions, they are ideal for anyone who wants to wear contact lenses most of the time.
Multifocal Lenses
Ever find yourself squinting to read a text message? Or holding letters at arm’s reach, so the words come into focus? Multifocal lenses can help.
Multifocal contact lenses are contact lenses with multiple prescriptions all in one lens. There is typically a prescription for very close objects, one prescription for normal objects viewed at a distance, and then prescriptions for intermediate distances. This setup helps people with presbyopia correct age-related vision problems where the eye can no longer focus on objects up close.
Contact Lenses for Children
Contact lenses can be a great choice for kids, giving them flexibility and freedom, whether they’re studying or playing sports. Kids can get some real benefits and greatly improve your child’s confidence.
Myopia control
Studies have shown that the progression of myopia, or short-sightedness, can be slowed down in children who wear contact lenses regularly. Talk to us to find out more about the benefits for your child.
