contact lenses
Contact lenses are a large part of most practices and we are no different. Our extensive experience means that we are able to fit and advise on all available contact lens options. We are not tied to just one contact lens manufacturer.
Our prices are very competitive to online retailers and discount box stores. Please call us to find out the price of your contacts. In addition, we have many manufacturer rebates to give you additional savings. We will even mail you your contacts when you purchase an annual supply. |
Have You Thought About Contacts?
There has never been a better time to wear contact lenses. New lens designs and materials are available and modern lenses are more comfortable and affordable than ever before. Often contact lenses cost less than a pair of glasses. We can even fit contacts if you wear bifocals or progressive lenses.
Freedom
Contact lenses give you the freedom to see all around without annoying rims of spectacle frames spoiling the view. Many people feel that they are more natural and comfortable wearing contact lenses.
No Risk Trials
If you've thought about lenses but wondered if they are suitable, now is the time to find out. At your first appointment we will assess your suitability for lenses and explain your options. If there is a problem that may mean less than 100% success we will tell you about it and explain the consequences. It may be that you need a special lens. We will explain why and clearly tell you how much it will cost.
Your first experience of lens wear will be as soon as possible. We will demonstrate how amazingly comfortable they can be. Where possible we will let you take some home to try before you commit yourself to going ahead. The only cost will be the contact lens assessment and fitting fee.
Do not worry about making a decision on what type of lens to choose. We will ensure that your needs are acknowledged and that the best lens for those needs are used. Of course, there are lots of options that will be explained. You can opt for tinted lenses to change your appearance, Ultra Violet filter lenses for maximum protection, bifocals, multifocals, disposables, or regular lenses.
Soft lenses
These are the most popular because they are so comfortable to wear. They are easy to adapt to and gentle on your eyes. They do however, need to be replaced more frequently. Modern lenses allow extended wear and are available for people with astigmatism (an irregular shaped eye) and bifocal wearers. There are even daily disposable bifocals and daily disposable lenses for people with astigmatism. We also have a great range of colored contact lenses for every day or the occasional special night out.

Gas Permeable Lenses
These are recommended if your eyes need extra oxygen, or if you have a lot of astigmatism. They do take a little longer to get used to, but they last a lot longer than soft lenses. Bifocals and multi-focal lenses are also available. They are the lenses of choice for those with corneal diseases, corneal distortion from eye trauma and corneal transplants.

Hybrid Lenses
Remember when you had only two technology choices in contact lenses? "Soft" lenses were the most comfortable but sometimes provided less-than-optimal vision, especially if you have astigmatism. "Hard" (rigid gas permeable) lenses were best for sharp, clear vision, but were often irritating and uncomfortable.
Taking Care of Contact Lenses
Unless you wear daily disposable lenses, you will need to clean and disinfect your contacts to ensure both the lenses and your eyes stay in good condition. The type of care system you use depends on the type of lenses you have and how they are worn. We will make sure you understand what to do before you take your lenses home.

Now, new breakthrough technology offers the preferred choice hybrid contact lenses that make having to choose between vision and comfort a thing of the past.
The Duette hybrid contact lens is the ideal choice if you want both clear vision and comfortable lenses. Duette combines two types of contact lens materials - a rigid gas permeable center and a soft lens skirt - into one unique "hybrid" lens.
