Enjoy the freedom and flexibility of contact lenses because contact lenses provide better natural vision as compared to glasses.
Contact lenses are a miracle of modern times.
The variety of contact lenses available may seem bewildering, but we are here to help you make the right choice to suit your needs.
We use only the best contact lenses and provide quality care to ensure the optimum health of your eyes.
If you would like to be one of the 3 million people in the UK enjoying the freedom of contact lenses do come and see us.
What are the benefits of contact lenses over spectacles?
These are the most popular lens type prescribed. They are thin, flexible and moist, and initial comfort is excellent. With the exception of daily disposable lenses, they need to be cleaned and disinfected every day.
Advances in lens materials now allow more oxygen to reach the front of the eye through a gas permeable lens. These lenses are generally small, hard to the touch and need an initial period of adaptation. They have a low risk of infection, can be made up to almost any prescription and are replaced annually depending on the lens material and individual patient requirements.
Orthokeratology or Ortho-k is a contact lens that gently re-shapes the front of your eye (the cornea) while you sleep. Upon removing your lenses in the morning, the precise change in shape allows you to see clearly without the need of glasses or contact lenses for the rest of the day.
The Ortho-K lens we mostly use is EyeDream.
Ortho-K lenses such as EyeDream have also been shown to slow myopia progression in many studies and over many years.
The cornea (the clear part at the front of your eye) plays a key part in achieving good vision. During sleep, EyeDream lenses use the pressure of your closed eyelids to gently reshape the cornea. When the lenses are removed, the slight flattening that EyeDream creates – less than the width of a human hair – is enough to give you crisp, clear unaided vision all day.
The front of the eye, the cornea, plays a key role in the quality of your vision.
Closed eyelids exert gentle pressure on the EyeDream lenses which reshape the cornea.
EyeDream flattens the cornea by less than the width of a human hair, correcting vision.
Remove the lenses in the morning and enjoy crisp, unaided vision all day.

Research has shown that several types of intervention can help reduce myopia progression. In the UK these include Ortho-K contact lenses, spectacles and soft myopia management contact lenses.
Generally, our first choice of interventions would be a soft myopia management daily disposable contact lens. We can fit contact lenses to children as young as 7.
