Contact lenses are an excellent option for many, with recent advancements making them more comfortable, affordable, and effective for clear vision. To discover the best contact lenses for your needs, book an eye exam with us today.

What are the benefits of wearing contact lenses?

Contact lenses offer freedom from glasses, a natural look, and a clear, unobstructed view—perfect for active individuals of all ages. Ideal for sports, dancing, driving, and many other activities, they also allow you to wear any sunglasses of your choice.

Do I need a prescription to buy contact lenses?

Yes, a valid, up-to-date prescription is required for contact lenses. With various lens designs available, only an optometrist or eye specialist can accurately determine and recommend the right lens and prescription for your needs.

What care procedures do I need to be aware of?

Following hygiene practices is essential for contact lens wearers. Always wash and dry your hands before handling lenses. For daily disposables, use a fresh lens each time, discarding after wear. For reusable lenses, rub and rinse them with solution before inserting and storing them. Empty, clean, and air dry your lens case after each use, replacing it regularly. Never use tap water to clean or store lenses—only use the recommended solution and follow instructions carefully. For aftercare appointments, you may need to bring your case and solution with you.
