Contact LensesContact lenses are thin, plastic discs which fit to the front of the eye to correct vision. Recent improvements in contact lens technology means that the benefits are available to more and more people. Contact lenses are particularly useful for most sporting activities and offer the benefit of seeing clearly without spectacles. |

As
contact
lens
specialists
we
provide
a
comprehensive
contact
lens
service,
fitting
and
supplying
all
types
of
lenses
with
schemes
and
payment
methods
to
suit
most
pockets.
Daily
Disposable
Soft
Lenses
These lenses are designed and manufactured to be worn once and then discarded. From less than £1 per pair they are the perfect choice for the occasional, sports or social wearer.
Lenses may be purchased in either 30 or 90 pair packs as and when necessary, or on a monthly standing order scheme.
Free trial lenses are available if you wish to try before committing yourself. An up-to-date sight test (£25) and trial contact lens appointment that includes assessment and instruction (£25) are necessary first. To complete a fitting and be supplied with lenses you need to join our Contact Lens Aftercare Scheme at £4.25 per month (minimum membership 1 year).
30-Day Continuous Wear Lenses
There are some new contact lenses designed for up to 30 days continuous wear. They can also be used as daily wear lenses for people who require extremely high oxygen transmission through their lenses. This is achieved by the use of silicone within the lens material. Overnight wear of these lenses requires very careful fitting and close follow-up, and aftercare visits are correspondingly more frequent than with most other contact lenses.
Frequent
Replacement
Schemes
Easily the most popular and cost effective scheme for those who wear soft contact lenses every day. For a monthly fee by standing order from £16.00 you will receive a fresh new pair of lenses every month together with the necessary cleaning solutions. This also includes all necessary aftercare. |

Gas
Permeable
Contact
Lenses
These
lenses
are
made
from
a
semi-rigid
material
with
great
oxygen
permeability
designed
to
withstand
the
rigors
of
repeated
daily
wear.
They
are
extremely
durable,
and
available
in
most
powers
and
fittings.
They
can
be
designed
for
the
most
complex
of
prescriptions.
Bifocal Contact Lenses
Both soft and rigid gas permeable contact lenses are available as bifocal designs for people who need a separate distance and reading correction. These lenses invariably involve some compromise on both distance and near vision.
Another
solution
is
monovision
correction
, which
involves
using
one
eye
for
distance
and
the
other
eye
for
near
vision.
This
is
a
simple
and
cost-effective
alternative,
which
can
be
achieved
with
most
types
of
contact
lens.
Contact Lens Aftercare
Contact lenses need to be fitted to the eye to make sure they will not cause discomfort or damage to the eye. Correct care of the lenses to prevent eye infection, and attendance for all recommended aftercare visits is extremely important. We operate a Contact Lens Aftercare Scheme for all our contact lens wearers, which covers all contact lens aftercare for a year once an initial assessment has been carried out. To ensure complete satisfaction and eye health we only supply lenses to current members of this scheme. This costs £4.25 per month for standard lenses, and £6.50 per month for continuous wear lenses. Minimum membership of this scheme is 12 months.
Prices correct as of July 2004.
