Contact lenses are a corrective lens worn over the cornea of the eye. Contact lenses are used to correct certain eye disorders including myopia (short sightedness), hyperopia (far sightedness), astigmatism and presbyopia (age related).

Contact lenses were introduced in the 60’s and have developed from the hard lens type to the more comfortable soft lenses which can be worn daily, monthly or for extended periods.

The convenience of contacts make them an ideal choice over regular glasses as once in they can remain for up to a day or more depending on the type. They can be used in most situations and unlike the old rigid contacts will not slip out.

The range of contact lenses available today ensures that everyone can be catered for. Whether you are looking for daily disposables, extended wear, soft or hard contacts, you will find the right contact for you.

The latest rage are theatrical or crazy contacts. These are regular contact lenses with designs for any occasion including Halloween. They can be used for people with a need for contact lenses and also those who don’t have a prescription.

Caring for contact lenses is an important aspect of wearing contact lenses. Dust and grime can build up behind the contact and cause eye infections and problems so it is important to ensure that contacts are cleaned regularly.
