Could contact lenses work for me?
Most people are suitable for contact lenses, and you don’t know if you don’t ask! The best way to find out is through an eye examination to assess your eye health, prescription, and lifestyle needs to recommend the most suitable contact lens options for you. Whether you want lenses for daily wear, occasional use, or specific activities, we’ll tailor the choice to your needs.
Do I still need glasses?
Yes. Having a pair of glasses is strongly recommended, even if you wear contact lenses most of the time.Glasses are essential if you run out of lenses or need to take a break due to irritation or infection. They also help reduce the risk of overwearing contact lenses and support long-term eye health.
What about sunglasses?
Even if your contact lenses include UV protection, sunglasses are still important. They provide additional protection from harmful UV rays. They also reduce glare, improving comfort and visual clarity outdoors.
How do I get started?
- If you haven’t had an eye exam in the past year, we’ll begin with a comprehensive eye examination to check your vision and eye health.
- We’ll discuss your lifestyle and recommend suitable contact lens options.
- Trial lenses will be ordered after the appointment and once they arrive, we will book you in for a teaching appointment
- At your teaching appointment, we’ll show you how to safely insert, remove, and care for your lenses.
- After trying them for a couple of weeks, you’ll return for a follow up to assess comfort and vision. We’ll finalise your prescription or fine tune things to get it right for you!
