Lenses Explained

Daily Disposables

If you like the idea of ‘hassle-free’ contact lenses then Daily Disposable lenses are ideal for you. There’s no cleaning involved – just wear them once and throw them away. They’re perfect whether you want to wear them every day, only at the weekend, for playing sport or for the occasional evening out.

Re-usable Lenses

An economical option, these lenses are replaced on a fortnightly/monthly cycle. There are many types to suit different needs.

Lenses for Astigmatism

Caused by the shape of your eye, astigmatism is a common condition resulting in blurry vision at all distances. Designed to fit your eye shape, astigmatic lenses are available as dailies or disposables and provide a high standard of comfort and vision.

Multifocals

As you get older it often becomes more difficult to adjust your focus and you may require vision correction at different distances. Multifocals provide smooth natural vision with all the convenience and freedom of contact lens wear.

Tinted and Coloured Lenses

These lenses can simply enhance or completely change the colour of your eyes and are the ultimate fashion accessory – you don’t even need a prescription to wear them! Ask at your local practice to see the options.
