LEARN MOREFrom steamed up spectacle lenses to working from home, COVID-19 has made many of us realise how much contact lenses could improve our daily lives.

These lenses have multiple corrections in one lens to help with presbyopia (the need for reading glasses with age) enabling you to see near and far at the same time.
Due to technical advances there is a much greater range of lens types and options to choose from. Unlike spectacles you do not need to lift or lower your head making them very easy to get used to.
These lenses reduce the stressful impact of bright light, reduce glare at night and improve colour contrast.
Anybody who has used self-tinting spectacle lenses will know how beneficial they can be. Now contact lens wearers can enjoy those benefits too.
Improving Oxygen supply and hydration helps reduce tiredness and redness associated with longer periods of wear. They also help dry eyes when performing critical visual tasks such as working on computers and digital devices.
The widespread demanding use of digital devices in our lives today requires more advanced and higher performing contact lenses to help make life more comfortable.
Harmful UV rays from the sun can cause damage to your eyes which can lead to cataracts and macular degeneration. These lenses contain an advanced UV absorbing monomer that acts as another line of defence to help block harmful UV radiation.
Avoiding long term UV radiation is important for healthy eyes and UV blocking is particularly beneficial for outdoors activities.
These lenses have irregular or cylindrical curvatures to correct astigmatism as well as myopia (short sightedness) or hyperopia (long sightedness).
Due to technical advances we now have a larger range of lens types and options to choose from.
These lenses have regular or round curvatures to correct myopia (short sidedness) or hyperopia (long sightedness).
As this is the most common category of vision correction it has the largest range of lens types and options to choose from.
They can be considered from as early as 8 or 9 years of age and studies have shown that they can be very successful in wearing, handling and looking after their contact lenses.
