Every contact lens assessment at Eye Gallery Opticians begins with understanding you. We’ll discuss your lifestyle, hobbies, working environment, and how you envision using contact lenses. Our optometrists measure your corneal curvature using sophisticated topography equipment, assess your tear quality, and evaluate your eye health to ensure safe lens wear. We’ll explain the differences between daily, fortnightly, and monthly lenses, helping you choose the most hygienic and convenient option. First-time wearers receive comprehensive insertion and removal training in a relaxed, supportive environment. Your comfort and confidence matter to us, so we take whatever time you need to feel completely prepared.
Our investment in cutting-edge diagnostic equipment ensures your contact lenses fit perfectly from day one. We use digital keratometry to measure your corneal curvature with exceptional precision, whilst our tear film assessments identify any dry eye concerns before they affect your comfort. For complex prescriptions, we offer specialist lenses including torics for astigmatism, multifocals for presbyopia, and orthokeratology for overnight vision correction. Our Optomap imaging technology allows us to monitor your eye health throughout your contact lens wearing journey. This comprehensive approach minimises complications and maximises comfort, ensuring your lenses enhance rather than compromise your lifestyle and ocular wellbeing.
Your contact lens journey doesn’t end when you leave our practice. Eye Gallery Opticians provides exceptional ongoing support to ensure your continued comfort and eye health. We include follow-up appointments to check your lens fit, assess your handling technique, and address any concerns. Our optometrists will monitor for any signs of complications and adjust your lens type if needed. We’ll remind you when it’s time for your annual contact lens check-up, which is essential for maintaining safe wear. You’ll also receive expert advice on lens care solutions, replacement schedules, and when to seek professional guidance. Contact our team for any questions between appointments; we’re always here to support your vision needs.

Whether you choose lenses, frames, or both, arrange your contact lens assessment today and embrace visual freedom.
Your initial contact lens assessment typically takes 60 minutes. This includes detailed measurements, discussing lens options, fitting your trial lenses, and comprehensive training on insertion, removal, and care. First-time wearers may need slightly longer to feel confident with handling techniques before leaving our practice.
Yes. You’ll need a current eye examination before your contact lens fitting. If you haven’t had an advanced eye test recently, we’ll conduct this first to ensure your prescription is accurate and your eyes are healthy enough for contact lens wear. Both appointments can often be scheduled on the same day.
Most people can wear contact lenses successfully, including those with astigmatism or presbyopia. However, certain conditions like severe dry eye, active eye infections, or specific corneal irregularities may require specialist lenses or alternative solutions. Our comprehensive assessment will determine your suitability and recommend the best options for your circumstances.
Contact lens costs vary depending on your prescription, lens type, and replacement schedule. Daily disposable lenses offer maximum convenience and hygiene, whilst monthly lenses can be more economical. During your assessment, we’ll discuss all options and their associated costs, helping you choose the best solution for your budget and lifestyle requirements.
Initial mild awareness is normal as your eyes adjust, but contact lenses should never be painful. If you experience persistent discomfort, we’ll investigate the cause, which might include adjusting your lens type, checking your fitting, or addressing underlying dry eye. Our ongoing support ensures any issues are resolved quickly, and we won’t rest until your lenses feel comfortable.
We will do our best to accommodate your busy schedule.
