“Most people who wear glasses can wear contact lenses”
Contact lenses are always a good option for spectacle wearers wanting
a new look and freedom from glasses, when playing sport or riding a
motorcycle.
Contact lens technology has advanced, making contact lenses easier to
insert and remove. Also new manufacturing materials now ensure all day
comfort.
There are so many advanced contact lens designs and materials on the
market that just about anyone can wear contact lenses.
Stephen Ellerker is a contact lens specialist with advanced qualification in
contact lenses. Let him guide you to the contact lens that is best for you.
If you have been wearing specs for sometime now, you‘ll have grown quite used
to them. In fact, so much so that you might have abandoned thoughts of contact
lenses. It doesn’t matter whether you wear specs just for driving or just for reading.
On the other hand you never go anywhere without your specs. Either way it’s well
worth another look at the alternative to specs.
When you first found that you needed sight correction, you may have made a
conscious decision against contact lenses. This could have been for a number of
reasons.
• Perhaps you thought having ‘something in your eye’ would have been
uncomfortable.
• You may have tried older style hard or soft lenses and given up.
• Or you may have felt contact lenses would be too expensive or too much trouble
for you to use.
The good news is that time and technologies have changed - and this makes
contact lenses well worth another look.
More people choose contact lenses?
Major advances in contact lens technology have created lenses so
comfortable that after a few seconds you don’t even notice they are
there. Contact lenses are practically invisible, giving you a more
natural look. They don‘t mist up or get splattered in the rain - and
they don‘t get in the way during sports and other active pursuits.
Would I have to stop wearing specs?
No - you don’t have to choose between contact lenses or
spectacles. You can wear modern contact lenses intermittently
because they are so easy to wear. You may decide to use them for
special occasions or when playing sports. Or use your spectacles
indoors at home, and lenses when you go out. The choice is yours!
Who can wear contact lenses?
Virtually everybody, even those with astigmatism and people
who need reading spectacles (or wearing bifocals or multifocals).
However, not everyone can wear the same type of lens so we
supply and fit several different types and designs.
Which type is best for me?
We will assess your eyes and your wearing requirements and
suggest the type of lens we believe will suit your needs. Then we
can arrange a trial during which you‘ll be able to see for yourself
how easy it is to live with contact
lenses.
Getting used to wearing lenses?
The majority of lenses we fit take a very little time to get used
to; most people find they can wear them all day after one week.
We teach you all you need to know about inserting and removing
lenses and how to look after them As an Optician with long
experience in contact lens practice you can be assured of a high
level of service ensuring trouble free wear!
