Contact lenses are one of the miracles of modern technology. Today, more than three million people in the UK enjoy the clear, natural and unobstructed vision offered by contact lenses which don’t fog up or get splashed with rain as glasses sometimes can.

New lens designs and materials, as well as advanced care products, now make contact lenses easier and more comfortable to wear than ever before.

They offer freedom from wearing glasses in daily life, when playing sport, or for that important social occasion, and can bring particular benefits for individuals with stronger vision correction requirements.

We supply contact lenses by CIBA/Alcon Eye Care, Bausch & Lomb, Johnson & Johnson and No 7, as well as contact lens cleaners and solutions.

It’s recommended that adults have their eyes tested every two years, unless their ophthalmic practitioner advises them to have a sight test more often than that.

Regular eye tests are important, a vital health check that can pick up early signs of eye conditions or general health problems before you're aware of any symptoms – many of which can be treated if found early enough.

During your appointment, your sight will be tested to check the quality of your vision and your eye health.

Your eyes and the area around them will be examined, to look for signs of injury, disease or abnormality.

If you already wear glasses or contact lenses, remember to take them with you to your sight test.

Our basic fee for a private eye examination is currently £27.50
