CONTACT LENS BUYING GUIDE
At Crystal Vision Optometrists, our optometrist is specially qualified to fit you with the most appropriate contact lens for your prescription and lifestyle. Many spectacle wearers spend years unaware that they are suitable for contact lenses. Our experienced eye care team can help you find the right contact lens to suit your specific needs.
Contact lenses are available for patients who require clear distance vision and clear reading vision, as well as for patients with astigmatism. Our extensive range includes daily, fortnightly and monthly prescription contact lenses as well as lenses for specific eye conditions
Need a new contact lens prescription? Considering transitioning from spectacles to contact lenses? Book a convenient online appointment or call to make an appointment with our qualified optometrist.
Here’s what you can expect at your appointment:
Our optometrist will assess the health of your eyes, explaining the various types of prescription contact lenses available to you. Lifestyle factors and your specific visual needs will influence the type of contact lens recommended for you.
A trial lens placed on your eye will help the optometrist make sure that the lens is fitting correctly. They will also show you how to insert, remove and look after your lenses.
Once your prescription has been written by our optometrist , an order is placed and your new contact lenses will be ready within typically 7 days.
Disposable soft contact lenses are the most commonly prescribed contact lenses and come with a recommended replacement schedule. Adhering to these recommendations and inserting new lenses at the recommended time is important to maintaining good eye health.
Prescription contact lens wearers require regular eye examinations. Because they sit directly on the eye, contact lenses can increase the risk of complication and infection. Regular eye examinations allow any problems to be detected and corrected early, before they have time to cause permanent damage.
Once you have settled in to wearing your contact lenses you will need to revisit the optometrist every 12 months to check if any changes have occurred to your vision which may require a change in script.
We understand how important it is to keep costs down, so we work hard to provide quality contact lenses at prices our patients love.
