Are you considering contact lenses? Your journey to clear and comfortable vision starts here with our personalised and comprehensive contact lens consultation and fitting service.
As an independent provider, we take pride in offering an array of contact lens options from leading brands, ensuring we can cater to your specific needs and preferences.
What to expect
Our contact lens exam starts with a thorough consultation led by our experienced optometrist. We’ll delve into understanding your lifestyle, needs and preferences, laying the foundation to recommend the most suitable type of contact lenses for you. Being independent allows us to stock or obtain any type you are assessed as being suitable for, providing unparalleled flexibility in catering to individual preferences.
Contact lens fitting process
The initial consultation and fitting take approximately 30 minutes. Our experienced contact lens staff will teach you one to one on how to safely use your contact lenses, including inserting and removing them. We understand learning to use contact lenses may take time, so we give you as much time as needed during the teaching process.
After the contact lens fitting appointment you will be provided with some trial contact lenses to take home and wear for an agreed period after which you will return to the practice to be reassesed by our optometrist to check you have contact lenses that are suitable for your eyes. This process may take more than one visit until the optomentrist arrives at the optimal contact lens specification to meet your needs.
