Why Choose Contact Lenses?
Contact lenses offer a convenient and versatile alternative to glasses, providing clearer peripheral vision and a natural appearance. They are ideal for sports, active lifestyles, or simply for those who prefer not to wear frames. Modern contact lenses are designed with advanced materials for exceptional comfort and breathability, making them suitable for a wide range of prescriptions and ages.

For patients with unique eye conditions or higher prescriptions, we offer Mini Scleral lenses, which provide excellent comfort and vision correction.
Ortho-K Lenses
Orthokeratology, or Ortho-K, is a revolutionary contact lens option that corrects your vision while you sleep. These specially designed lenses gently reshape the cornea overnight, allowing you to wake up with clear vision and go about your day without the need for glasses or contact lenses. Ortho-K is an excellent choice for managing nearsightedness (myopia) and can also address astigmatism. It’s particularly popular among patients seeking freedom from daytime lenses or considering non-surgical alternatives. Discover more about Ortho-K.
Mini Scleral Contact Lenses
Mini scleral contact lenses are specialised lenses designed to provide exceptional comfort and visual clarity for individuals with unique or challenging eye conditions. Unlike standard contact lenses that rest on the cornea, mini scleral lenses are larger and rest on the sclera (the white part of the eye), vaulting over the cornea entirely. This design creates a smooth optical surface and leaves a space between the lens and the cornea, which can be filled with a saline solution to enhance comfort and hydration.
