Frequently Asked Questions
Am I too old/young to wear contact lenses?
No, age should not be a barrier when it comes to contact lens wear. There are a wealth of lens options to choose from and, with our guidance, we’ll match you to your perfect lens, whatever your age or visual needs.
Which type of contact lens is best for me?
There are two main types of contact lenses:
- soft lenses which mould to the shape of your eye; and
- rigid gas-permeable lenses (RGP lenses) which fit close to the shape of your eye, and are much less flexible than soft lenses.
The best contact lens for you will depend on several things, including how often you wish to wear them. Our Optometrists will be able to guide you through this process, and help you choose the most suitable lens.
Do I need to have regular check-ups if I wear contact lenses?
Yes. It is important to have regular check-ups to make sure that your contact lenses are still suitable for you, and are not damaging your eyes.
Our optometrists will recommend how often you need to have check-ups. This will depend on things such as the type of lenses you wear and how long you wear them for.
Your contact lens prescription will have an expiry date. You will not be able to buy lenses after that date. It is important that you have a contact lens check-up before your prescription runs out if you want to continue to buy lenses.
Can I sleep in contact lenses?
There are certain types of lenses which have been designed to wear overnight.
However, unless you have been specifically told by your optician that you can, you shouldn’t sleep or nap in your lenses. Research has shown that sleeping in contact lenses increases the risk of infection.
If you are short-sighted, you may be able to wear special contact lenses that you sleep in. These temporarily correct short-sightedness so that you do not need to wear glasses or contact lenses during the day.
