Contact Lenses

Whilst contact lenses are freely available online always ensure that you are properly assessed and fitted. It takes careful evaluation and often trial  fittings to ensure that you receive lenses that will keep your eyes healthy, and seen clearly and feel comfortable. Often symptoms that contact lens wearers experience can be alleviated by careful fitting and follow–up care.

Your initial contact lens examination will include:

  • Consultation
  • Measurement and evaluation of the eyes
  • Diagnostic fitting of lenses to make certain that you will be able to wear contact lenses successfully and to determine the type and design of lens that will work best for your eyes

*Keratoconus

Keratoconus is a relatively rare but ever present eye disorder. Basically a keratoconic eye has a thinner than normal cornea that pushes forward into a cone shape meaning that vision deteriorates. The early treatment is by use of specialist contact lenses. These can be complex to fit and David Goad, our contact lens optician has specialised in the practice having some 20 years experience. There is a support for those suffering from keratoconus at the “keratoconus self help & support group”.
