How do I know if I can wear contact lenses?
To evaluate whether you are able to wear contact lenses and decide which lens is suitable for you, we always recommend a contact lens trial. This gives you the chance to try contact lenses for a short period, usually a month.
The cost of your trial includes the fitting, the lenses on loan for the trial period, case and solutions if required, instruction on insertion and removal of the lenses and a follow up visit. A current spectacle prescription is required prior to commencing a trial.
At the end of the trial you and your practitioner will decide if contact lenses are right for you. 85% of our trials are successful.
Contact Lens Questionnaire
You may have considered contact lenses but not asked us about them. If so, take a look at the questions below, fill in your answers and consider them again:
Do you ever play sport?
Do you ever go out without wearing your glasses?
Would you rather not wear your glasses when socialising or at special occasions, such as weddings?
Do you sometimes find your glasses annoying:
When they steam up when your cooking?
When they get wet in the rain?
When they get knocked off during sport?
You may have tried contact lenses before and found them uncomfortable. Today's lenses are much improved - would you be willing to try them again?
If you're astigmatic would you try a contact lens designed for you?
Would you be interested in contact lenses as an alternative to your bifocal or varifocal glasses?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, why not ask one of our staff about a contact lens trial? 85% of people who have a trial go on to successful contact lens wear.
