Contact Lenses

With around three million people in the UK wearing contact lenses it is obvious that contact lenses are the clear choice for many people with vision correction needs. The flexibility and convenience, added to scientific developments are leading more and more people to this form of correction for aesthetic or practical reasons.

Contact lenses are delicately crafted, very thin optical discs about the diameter of a shirt button. They are comfortably held in place by the eye's own natural tears, which are always present between the lens and the eye. The superior quality of today's lenses, combined with professional fitting and aftercare, ensures your lenses will be properly prescribed for ultimate fit and comfort.

Most contact lenses are worn on a "daily-wear" basis. They are removed in the evening and put back in the next morning. Sleeping in your contact lenses is not advisable unless it is specifically recommended by your GP. Most contact lens wearers in the UK use "disposable" soft lenses. These are just what they sound like: after a prescribed period of time (usually on a daily basis), the lenses are thrown away and replaced with a new pair. This ensures a clinically hygiene lens is used at all times.
