Contact Lens consultation
During our contact lens consultations, the Optometrist will initially have a chat with you to discuss your needs and expectations. Considerations such as your lifestyle, leisure activities, and working environment will be made and then the appropriate measurements and necessary tests will be carried out before you are given professional advice on the most suitable lenses for you.
Once the best contact lens of choice has been selected it will be assessed on its performance on the eye. If satisfactory you will then be taught how to insert and remove the lenses before you are given trial contact lenses to take away.
A follow up appointment will then be arranged to review your progress and to give you the opportunity to discuss any concerns you may have. Regular contact lens aftercare checks are vital to ensure optimum vision, comfort and eye health. The frequency of these checks will be recommended at the end of all appointments.
If you would like to give contact lenses a try or require further information please contact us.
Ensure the health of your eyes with good brands
Choosing the right contact lenses is very important for ensuring optimum eye health. For this reason, our Optometrists only select the best lenses from reputable contact lens manufacturers who invest time and effort in the research and development of lens materials and technology.
It is advised to avoid cheap alternatives that are provided without conforming to the UK legislation as this can increase the risk of complications.
