Contact Lenses
Contact lenses are constantly improving. This improvement has been mainly in the new generation of soft materials being used.
These new materials have enhanced comfort, durability and range. This gives the ability for more people to use them.
It is now possible to provide comfortable, safe vision to correct all eye conditions. The options include single vision, bifocal and multifocal lenses both in gas permeable hard lens designs and also in soft.

Many people come in to us saying that they have astigmatism that cannot be corrected. This is now quite simply not the case, as both hard and soft lenses will provide good vision if appropriately fitted.
The practice does specialise in fitting contact lenses to literally fit any eye and is unique in utilising specialty lenses such as gas permeable haptic lenses to correct advanced keratoconus and post corneal graft conditions.
Disposable Lenses
Contact lens wear has been revolutionised with the advent of disposable lenses. These lenses are available as single use daily wear (no solutions / no maintenance) to monthly extended wear (perhaps the ultimate in convenience).
Both forms of wear should be considered as a safe and just as importantly, reversible option to laser surgery.
Lens wear can also be for social reasons with many varieties of tinted and fun lenses available at reasonable cost.

Ortho-K Lenses
The special, individually designed, contact lens gently moulds the cornea to the required shape during sleep by creating hydraulic pressure on the corneal tissue which, like all our bodily tissues, is semi-elastic. It is precisely this inherent semi-elasticity that makes the procedure safe and reversible because if wear is ceased the cornea reverts to its original shape. This is important for in the case of myopia in later years there can be an advantage in being shortsighted so that one can read without the use of visual aids. This facility is lost in laser surgery which causes irreversible change to the shape of the cornea. Read more
