For many people, contact lenses are a great alternative to glasses – whether for everyday wear, for sport, or just for a change.

Nearly all prescriptions can now be corrected with contact lenses. As an independent optometrist, we are free to recommend and supply the best lenses from leading manufacturers, including Alcon, CooperVision and Johnson & Johnson, and we offer a bespoke fitting service for more complicated prescriptions.

If you have not tried contact lenses recently, ask us about them – ask to hold one and see just how soft they are. And if you wore lenses in the past, ask about the latest designs: with today’s technology they are more comfortable than ever.

Thanks to disposable lenses, children and teenagers can benefit too, even though their prescription changes as they grow. Contacts can often be worn from around the age of 10, though every child is different and we will advise after discussion and examination.

Book a consultation to discuss the best options for you. We offer a free contact lens trial, so you can take sample pairs away and try them out before committing.

Contact lens aftercare

Wearing contact lenses means regular visits so we can check how you are getting on. An annual check-up is essential: we examine the health of your eyes, make sure your lenses are still right for you, and can tell you about any new developments that might suit you better.

If you ever have any concerns about your lenses or your eyes, come and see us straightaway.
