CONTACT LENS PRACTICE
Our three specialist practitioners offer over 90 years of optical experience. The Contact Lens Practice was first established in 1973 and was the first practice in the UK that was devoted to fitting contact lenses.
Since the practice began it has always had strong connections with lens manufacturers. In 1974 The Contact Lens Practice was one of ten practices in the world to clinically trial the very first soft sleep in lens (Permalens) for the US Food & Drug Administration.
Over the years The Contact Lens Practice has fitted some of the most complex and complicated prescriptions. If you have ever been told that you are unsuitable for contact lenses chances are that we have a lens that's right for you.
Visiting the Contact Lens Practice will be a whole new experience – very different to a visit to a regular optician. For a start you’ll need to allow up to 2 hours for your first visit – but don’t worry tea and coffee is available if you need it.
We need this amount of time so that we can get to know you and understand your lifestyle and previous history (if any) with contacts. This will help you and us decide which type of Contacts are most suitable for you.
But that’s only one side of the coin. In order to know what our options are we need to do a thorough examination of your eyes and vision – don’t worry it’s entirely painless! We have an extensive range of equipment that we use to measure and examine your eyes.
We’ve invested over £250,000 in specialist equipment most of which you won’t find in a normal optician practice. Depending on your age and vision error we may use some or all of this equipment to aid us in our diagnosis.
Book in TODAY for your eye test so that we can help you help your eyes! Remember, your first assessment is always free!
