Contact Lenses

Contact lenses are an important part of our eye care service. Over the last 40 years contact lenses have become increasingly popular, both in the rigid gas permeable and the soft lens design, but particularly since the development of disposable soft lenses.

We fit and supply lenses from leading manufacturers including Vistakon (Johnson &Johnson), Baush & Lomb, Madden & Layman, Cooper Vision, Ciba Vision and Menicon.

Types of lenses include:

  • Rigid gas permeable lenses (in a range of oxygen permeable materials).
  • Conventional medium water content soft lenses (around 50% water content).
  • Conventional high water content soft lenses (around 66% water content).
  • Disposable lenses (two weekly, monthly, toric and bifocals and coloured).
  • Daily Disposable lenses.
  • Myopia control lenses.
