Here’s a quick guide to some of the lens types available:

Daily disposable

Want the ultimate no fuss Contact Lens? Choose daily disposables. There’s no cleaning, no hassle. Just pop in a fresh pair every day. And when the day’s over, take them out and pop them in the bin. They’re also perfect for using now and again to complement your glasses. Comfortable, convenient and no worries.

Reusable

Want to wear your Contact Lenses every day? Reusable lenses are cost effective and easy to use. At the end of the day, clean them and place into their case along with solution, and they’ll be ready to wear next the morning. Reusable lenses are also great for more complex prescriptions and conditions like astigmatism.

Extended wear

Rather not remove your Contact Lenses? Try Extended wear lenses. You can wear them for several days and nights before you need to change them and you won’t have to fiddle with inserting and removing them every day. They also bring 6 times the amount of oxygen to your eyes, leaving them looking healthy and bright.

Plus some contact lenses even come with built-in UV protection, keeping your eyes safe from harmful UVA and UVB rays.

Toric

These are specially designed contact lenses prescribed to correct astigmatism. Toric lenses give you crisp, steady vision all day long, no matter what you are doing. Choose daily, two-weekly or monthly disposable options.

Multifocal

Ever find yourself squinting to read a text message? Or holding letters at arm’s reach, so the words come into focus? You’re not the only one. As we age gracefully, we develop a condition called presbyopia, which makes smaller print harder to read.

For many people, this is the first time their sight noticeably alters. Now, as well as multifocal glasses, you can get multifocal contact lenses, too. These let you shift your vision between near and far, seamlessly. Clever, right?

Coloured

Fancy brighter blue eyes? Or dreamy chocolate eyes? Coloured contact lenses let you keep your prescription, but change your eye colour as often as you fancy!
