Are you considering switching to contact lenses? We offer a wide range of contact lens options. Understanding the different types of contact lenses can help you make an informed decision about which is best for your needs and lifestyle.
Daily disposable lenses
Daily disposable contact lenses are designed to be worn once and discarded at the end of the day. They offer convenience as there is no need for cleaning or storage, and are an excellent option for those with busy lifestyles or allergies to lens care solutions.
2 weekly disposable lenses
With 2-week disposable contact lenses, a new pair is required every 2 weeks. They offer a balance between convenience and cost-effectiveness, providing consistent vision correction while minimising the need for frequent replacements.
Monthly disposable lenses
Monthly disposable contact lenses are replaced once a month, offering extended wear without compromising on comfort or vision quality. They are a popular choice for those seeking long-term convenience and affordability.
Multifocal lenses
Multifocal contact lenses are designed to correct presbyopia, a condition that affects near vision as we age. They have different zones for near, intermediate, and distance vision, facilitating clear vision at all distances without the need for reading glasses.
Astigmatism lenses
Astigmatism contact lenses are specially designed to correct irregularities in the shape of the cornea, which cause blurry or distorted vision. Toric designs ensure stable and consistent vision correction.
Do you offer trial lenses?
Yes, before committing to a specific type of contact lens, our optometrists may provide trial lenses for you to test out. These enable you to experience how different lenses feel and perform, helping you make an informed decision about your contact lens prescription.
Contact lens care and hygiene
To maintain eye health and prevent complications such as infection or irritation, it’s essential to follow proper hygiene and care instructions for your contact lenses. Our experienced team will provide you with guidance, but some top tips include:
- wash your hands before handling
- avoid water exposure
- don’t sleep in your lenses
- regularly clean and disinfect
