Contact Lenses

If you’d like freedom from glasses, we can help you choose the right contact lenses for everyday wear, sport, or special occasions. We fit everything from soft lenses to rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses, and provide specialist fittings for conditions such as keratoconus and myopia control.

During your fitting, we’ll show you how to insert, remove, and care for your lenses safely. Because contact lenses sit directly on the eyes, we recommend regular check-ups to keep them healthy.

Myopia (short-sightedness) is a common condition where distance vision is blurred. It often begins in childhood and can progress as the child grows. Higher levels of myopia not only mean stronger glasses but also increase the risk of certain eye conditions later in life, including retinal detachment, glaucoma, and cataracts.

The good news is that modern contact lenses can do more than just correct vision — they can also help slow myopia progression. Our optometrists are experienced in fitting a range of myopia-control contact lenses, from soft daily lenses designed for children to orthokeratology (Ortho-K) lenses that gently reshape the eye overnight. These options give clear vision during the day while also helping to protect long-term eye health.

If you or your child are short-sighted, contact lenses can offer freedom from glasses along with the added benefit of controlling myopia. Book an appointment with us to find out which lens option is right for you.

Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) is a safe non-surgical procedure of using rigid contact lens to temporarily reshape the cornea while you sleep. This allows clear, glasses-free vision during the day, making them an excellent option for anyone looking to manage myopia progression.

The fitting process requires multiple topographical scans to be taken of the cornea, during the session your optometrist will teach you how to care for, insert, and remove your contact lenses. Once your custom-fit lenses arrive, you’ll wear them overnight and enjoy clear vision throughout the day. Several follow-up appointments are required to monitor your eye health, ensure the lenses fit correctly, and confirm that your vision is optimised.

If you’re interested in a safe, non-surgical way to see clearly during the day while actively managing myopia, our team can guide you through the Ortho-K process from assessment to ongoing care.
