Eye health review

Can I wear contact lenses?

Yes, you can! Thanks to advances in contact lens technology in recent years, just about everyone can wear contacts.For example, there are many bifocal contact lenses for people with presbyopia; soft, rigid and hybrid contact lenses that correct astigmatism; and custom contact lenses that can correct even the most challenging prescriptions.

Can wearing contact lenses cause eye problems?

It’s true that contact lens wear can increase your risk of certain eye problems, but if you follow our Optometrist’s instructions regarding how to care for your contact lenses, how long to wear them and how frequently you should replace them, wearing contact lenses is very safe.

Are contact lenses expensive?

No! Contact lenses are not expensive.

Even daily disposable contact lenses, which were once considered a luxury, can cost as little as a pound a day.
