Contact Lenses - Benjamin Opticians

Never had contact lenses before? Perhaps you are unsure?

Thanks to new technologies, today’s contact lenses are more comfortable than ever before. In fact, even the most sensitive eyes find them much softer and easier to wear. Recent advances also mean modern contact lenses are suitable for nearly all types of prescription, including bifocals and if you have astigmatism. Which type of lens is best for you will come down to a matter of preference and lifestyle. We will be happy to advise you. We also fit bespoke contact lenses for prescriptions, a service that has not previously been available.

Wear lenses your way

Many of our patients have switched to contact lenses almost completely; others stick with their spectacles and wear lenses for certain sports, work or hobbies and some simply use them for special occasions. The point is, you wear them your way – to suit you. They are so convenient with active sports, for those conscious of their look in traditional spectacles; or just off to a special occasion such as a family wedding; even when it’s raining!

Now even the kids are getting to grips with Contact Lenses and enjoying a happier, less restricted and most importantly, more fun lifestyle than with traditional glasses alone.
