We’ll recommend the most suitable brand and type based on your contact lens assessment results, prescription requirements, and lifestyle considerations.
Proper contact lens care is essential for maintaining eye health and comfortable wear. Daily disposable lenses require no maintenance; simply discard after each use. Reusable lenses need daily cleaning with recommended multipurpose solutions, never water or saliva, which can introduce harmful microorganisms. Always wash and dry your hands thoroughly before handling lenses. Store lenses in fresh solution in a clean case, replacing your case every three months. Never sleep in lenses unless specifically designed for extended wear, and remove lenses immediately if you experience pain, redness, or vision changes. Attend regular check-ups so we can monitor your eye health and lens fit. Our optometrists provide comprehensive training on insertion, removal, and care during your fitting appointment. Contact our team if you have any concerns between appointments; prompt attention prevents complications.
Contact lenses integrate seamlessly into active, varied lifestyles when properly fitted and maintained. They’re ideal for sports, providing unrestricted peripheral vision and eliminating concerns about broken glasses. Many wearers combine contact lenses with spectacles from our designer collection, enjoying flexibility throughout their week. Contact lenses work beautifully with non-prescription sunglasses and don’t fog up or get splashed by rain. Modern lens materials and designs minimise dryness, even during extended screen time. At Eye Gallery Opticians, we believe that eyewear is more than just a necessity; it’s an expression of your unique style and personality, and contact lenses offer ultimate versatility. Our practice offers advanced eye examinations and expert optical advice to ensure your vision correction suits your life perfectly. Schedule your contact lens assessment and experience visual freedom with professional support every step of the way.
The best contact lenses depend on your prescription, eye health, tear quality, lifestyle, and personal preferences. During your contact lens assessment, our optometrists evaluate these factors comprehensively. Daily disposables suit busy lifestyles and sensitive eyes, whilst monthly lenses offer economy. Specific designs address astigmatism or presbyopia. We’ll recommend options tailored precisely to your needs and circumstances.
Most people master insertion and removal within a few practice sessions. Initial awkwardness is completely normal; your eyes have natural protective reflexes. Our optometrists provide patient, thorough training during your fitting appointment, and you won’t leave until you’re confident with the techniques. Many first-time wearers are surprised by how quickly it becomes second nature with regular practice.
Yes, toric contact lenses are specifically designed to correct astigmatism. These lenses feature weighted designs or other stabilisation methods that maintain proper orientation on your eye, providing clear, stable vision. Modern toric lenses are available in daily, two-weekly, and monthly formats from brands like Acuvue, Biofinity, and Dailies, offering excellent comfort and visual performance.
Contact lens wearers require annual check-ups to monitor eye health, assess lens fit, and ensure safe continued wear. These appointments are separate from routine eye examinations and focus specifically on your contact lens wear. Regular monitoring detects potential issues early, preventing complications. If you experience any discomfort, redness, or vision changes between appointments, contact us immediately for assessment.
Many people with dry eyes wear contact lenses successfully with appropriate lens selection and management. Certain brands like Proclear and specific Dailies ranges are designed for dry eye sufferers, incorporating moisture-retaining technologies. We may recommend daily disposables, which reduce deposit buildup that exacerbates dryness. Treating underlying dry eye conditions often improves contact lens tolerance significantly. Our assessment determines your suitability and optimal approach.
We will do our best to accommodate your busy schedule.
