A Smooth Transition to Contacts
Are contact lenses right for you? Find out at Huxter & Davy Opticians, where we can provide expert advice on lens use, as well as eye examinations to establish your needs. There are several reasons why people choose to wear contacts instead of, or in combination with glasses, such as
- For visual aesthetics
- For comfort or convenience
- During physical activity or sports
- So that frames do not obstruct vision
- To avoid fogging and misting
Daily contact lenses, also referred to as disposable contacts or ‘dailies’, are single-use lenses that are discarded after use. Thus, making them low maintenance and convenient. Alternatively, reusables provide a thicker lens, are less prone to damage and can provide a more comfortable fit for some people. We stock a wide range of daily and reusable lenses and can help ensure your prescription is accurate with routine eye tests.
If you are new to contact lenses or your prescription requirements have changed, you may wish to take advantage of a contact lens trial. A trial gives you the chance to experience how different lenses feel before committing to long-term use. This is especially useful for those with sensitive eyes or specific vision needs, such as astigmatism or dry eye. During your trial, we’ll guide you through lens insertion, removal, and care — ensuring you feel confident and informed. It’s the perfect way to discover whether contacts are the right fit for your lifestyle and vision. We offer a range of trial options, including daily and monthly lenses, to suit your individual preferences. Get in touch with our team today to book your consultation and explore the benefits of contacts first hand.
Comprehensive Contact Lens Test
Before you try contact lenses, a professional contact lens test is essential to ensure comfort, clarity, and eye health. During your appointment, our optometrist will assess your vision, measure your corneal shape, and determine the most suitable lens type and prescription. We use advanced diagnostic technology to guarantee a precise fit, minimising dryness or irritation. Whether you’re new to lenses or switching brands, our comprehensive eye exam ensures your contacts fit perfectly and feel natural from the very first wear.
Contact Lenses For Astigmatism
If you have astigmatism, you don’t have to settle for blurry or distorted vision. Modern toric contact lenses are specially designed to correct the uneven curvature of your cornea, providing clear, stable vision all day long. Whether you prefer daily disposables, monthly lenses, or extended wear options, our specialists will help you find the perfect fit for your lifestyle. So, say goodbye to glare and hello to crisp, comfortable sight with contact lenses tailored for astigmatism.
How To Use & Care For Your Contact Lenses
Before handling your lenses, always wash and dry your hands thoroughly. Check that each lens is clean, undamaged, and assigned to the correct eye. Place the lens on your fingertip, gently hold your eyelids open, and apply it to your eye. Then, blink a few times to let it settle comfortably. Follow your wearing schedule exactly and never sleep in lenses unless your optometrist has approved it. Additionally, avoid contact with water or makeup, and use only eye drops and cleaning solutions recommended for contact lenses.
When removing your lenses, wash your hands, slide the lens to the white of your eye, pinch it gently, and clean or dispose of it as directed. If you use reusable lenses, rub and rinse them with fresh solution and store them in a clean case filled with new disinfecting liquid- never reuse old solution. Replace your lenses and case regularly, and attend routine contact lens checks to ensure continued comfort and eye health. Importantly, stop wearing your lenses immediately if you notice pain, redness, or blurred vision, and contact your optometrist for advice.
