FAQ
Got Questions? We've Got Answers!
Are contact lenses comfortable to wear?
Yes, modern contact lenses are designed to be very comfortable, and most people adjust quickly. In fact, many patients are surprised at how natural they feel after just a short time wearing them. Soft lenses in particular are made to allow oxygen through to the eye, which helps maintain comfort throughout the day.
Is it hard to put contact lenses in and take them out?
Not at all. We guide you step-by-step during your fitting and give you as much time as you need to feel confident. Most people pick it up quicker than they expect, even if they were nervous at the start.
Can I try contact lenses before committing?
Yes, this is one of the most important parts of the process. You'll be able to try lenses in practice so you can experience the comfort and clarity before making any decisions. This removes the guesswork and helps you feel confident getting started.
Can I wear contact lenses if I have astigmatism or need reading help?
In most cases, yes. There are specialised lenses available for astigmatism and multifocal lenses for both near and distance vision. We select the best option based on your eyes and your lifestyle.
How long can I wear contact lenses each day?
This depends on the type of lenses and your eyes, but many people comfortably wear them all day. We'll recommend a wearing schedule that suits you and keeps your eyes healthy, typically building up wear time gradually at first.
Are contact lenses safe for my eyes?
Yes, when fitted properly and worn as advised, contact lenses are a safe and effective way to correct vision. Good hygiene and following simple care guidelines are important to keep your eyes healthy and comfortable long-term.
