Contact Lenses
The world of contact lenses has developed dramatically in the last few years. It means that contact lenses are now a comfortable and convenient alternative or addition to spectacles.
People have traditionally been wary of considering the possibility of wearing contact lenses. However with so many different types available it is highly likely that you can now be fitted successfully.
Daily Disposable Soft Lenses
These lenses represent the latest addition to contact lens development. There are no cleaning solutions required at all. The lenses are used and then simply thrown away. We have many patients wearing these safe and hygienic lenses every day. They are especially helpful for patients who normally wear spectacles but wish to use contact lenses for sports or social activities.
Disposable Soft Lenses
These lenses are very popular. The lenses are worn during the day and removed at night for cleaning. They are discarded every two weeks or monthly dependent on the design.
Continuous Wear Soft Lenses
This option is for people with hectic lifestyles or those who simply do not want to change their lenses every day.
Gas Permeable Lenses
These lenses are made from modern polymers that transmit high levels of oxygen. They do not cause corneal distortion so changing to spectacles at the end of the day presents no problem.
