Choosing Lenses

Astigmatism, reading changes and other specific needs can call for a tailored approach, and we assess these during your appointment.

Fitting Process

A careful fitting before you leave with lenses

Fitting contact lenses is more than choosing a power. We measure the surface of your eye, check how the lens moves when you blink and make sure the fit is comfortable for the hours you intend to wear them.

  • A review of your current prescription and eye health
  • Measurement of the curvature and size needed for a good fit
  • A trial pair and a follow-up check to confirm comfort and clarity
  • Clear guidance on insertion, removal, cleaning and replacement
