Have you tried contact lenses in the past and found they weren't quite right for you? Maybe they were uncomfortable, didn't correct your vision as well as your glasses, or, maybe you found complicated cleaning routines inconvenient.
Contact lenses have greatly improved in recent years. At Optomeyes, our highly trained optometrists will take the time to find the right ones for you. So you can finally enjoy all the benefits that attracted you the first time round, with lasting comfort and clear, stable vision.
You also have a greater choice of wearing schedules and cleaning routines. Daily disposable and extended wear lenses along with simpler solutions make caring for your lenses quicker and easier than ever before.
Latest Developments
Contact lenses have greatly improved in recent years thanks to advances in manufacturing, material technology and increasingly sophisticated lens designs. With our extensive range of contact lenses, including all the latest products, we'll take the time to find the right ones for you. Ask an Optomeyes optometrist about trialling one of these great new products; they may be just what you've been waiting for.
Greater Comfort
In the past you may have found that after wearing your contact lenses your eyes have felt tired or dry, especially if you have worn them all day. In more challenging environments, like air-conditioned offices or smoky rooms, many people have suffered from dryness and discomfort. This means they are unable to wear their contact lenses comfortably for as long as they want, and may even have to use rewetting drops.
New material technology means that contact lenses are now even softer and retain their moisture for longer. They can provide comfort throughout the day in most environments. Contact lenses are now designed with comfort in mind and can help keep your eyes feeling fresh all day and all night. You can even sleep in some extended wear lenses! In fact, some people feel like they are wearing no lenses at all.
At Optomeyes we have an extensive range of contact lenses and we'll take the time to find the right ones for you.
Improved Health
Soft contact lenses are extremely thin and manufactured from materials that allow oxygen to pass through them and reach the eye's surface, which is important as it allows your eyes to breathe. The latest material, silicone hydrogel, offers superior oxygen delivery of up to 5 times more than regular soft lenses. They also minimize redness, dryness and swelling which have been problems for some contact lens wearers.
Several contact lenses also have UV blocking* to help protect portions of your eyes against harmful UV rays; which is important all year round, not just during the summer.
At Optomeyes we provide a range of contact lenses for a variety of wearing schedules allowing replacement every month, every two weeks or every day. We have a number of daily disposable lenses providing the convenience of being able to throw them away after every wear and start with a fresh, new pair each time. This is the healthiest way to wear lenses and means no lens care, no cases, no solutions.
*UV-absorbing contact lenses are not substitutes for UV-blocking sunglasses as they do not completely cover the eye and surrounding area
Better Vision
If you have astigmatism (rugby ball-shaped eyes) or presbyopia (an inability to focus close-up related to ageing) you may have found that your contact lenses in the past did not give you as clear and crisp vision as your glasses. You may have felt limited by your contact lenses and found that they could not keep up with your busy lifestyle.
In recent years, increasingly sophisticated lens designs mean soft toric lenses (for astigmatism) can now give you clear, stable vision all day, whatever you're doing. New multifocal lenses (for presbyopia) provide more "blended" vision and can correct near, far and mid-range problems.
New lens materials have led to improved visual performance, allowing clearer vision for longer.
At Optomeyes we have a range of great new contact lenses (view our most popular) that are specially designed to correct astigmatism or presbyopia. So no matter what you're doing - driving at night or playing sports - you can enjoy crisp, steady vision all day long. Some are also available for a variety of wear schedules; so you now have the choice of daily reusables or daily disposables.
Developments in Solution Technology
Don't let the thought of a complicated cleaning routine put you off returning to or trying daily reusable lenses. While properly caring for your lenses is important for the health and comfort of your eyes, new developments in solution technology have made cleaning much quicker and easier than you may have experienced before.
New multi-purpose solutions have everything you need in one bottle to clean and disinfect your lenses effectively.
For sensitive eyes, you can now get preservative-free solutions which are much gentler.
