Our Services
Contact Lenses:
Whether you’ve never worn lenses before, or perhaps
tried a few years ago, wouldn’t you like the chance to
experience the freedom and comfort that modern
contact lenses offer?
Why not ask to try a pair of the
very latest lenses? We
have many hundreds of happy lens wearers aged from
under 8 to over 80,
some of whom wear lenses full
time and some just socially or for sports etc.
We offer
a free initial trial to anyone wishing to try contact
lenses, so what have you got to lose,
apart from maybe
your glasses?
Soft Lenses:
Soft Contact Lenses are very easy to adapt to and
extremely comfortable to wear. Disposable
lenses deal
effectively with the problems of material wear and
lens deposits, simply by disposing
of the lenses on a
planned regular basis. We supply daily, two weekly,
monthly and three monthly
options as well as
durable lenses. Daily Disposable lenses are available
to suit around 75% of single vision prescriptions. If
you are out of the range currently available, there
may well be a monthly, two weekly or weekly lens
to suit you. The cost of these lenses continues to fall
as they gain popularity, and prices are now well under £1.00 per day for full time users.

Continuous Wear Lenses:
Silicone-Hydrogel lenses offer unparalleled levels of safety for continuous wear of up to 30 days and nights.
If you would like more information on these lenses, please call the practice or send us an e-mail.
Multifocal Lenses:
If you need lenses to see well at a variety of distances, there are several recent developments in the Multifocal
Contact Lens field that may help you. These are available as monthly soft lenses and as RGP (Rigid gas Permeable) lenses.
Coloured Soft Lenses
These are available in a disposable format or as a
more durable lens. Ciba manufacture a huge range
of coloured lenses, but we also deal with other
suppliers.
Soft Lenses For Astigmatism
If you have astigmatism there are a number of
monthly soft toric lenses available, as well as daily
& two weekly. There are several manufacturers that
can provide us with custom soft toric lenses on a
three or six monthly planned replacement scheme. Even Multifocals are now available in some designs.
Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Lenses
RGP lenses look very much like the original hard corneal
lenses first fitted around fifty years ago, but that is
where the similarities end. RGP materials allow
oxygen to pass through the material to the cornea,
and although soft lenses do this too, the best RGP
lenses allow a greater flow of oxygen to the cornea
than many soft lenses. RGP lenses may give a better standard of vision than
soft lenses if there is more than 0.50D of astigmatism
in the prescription, and offer a less expensive
alternative to soft torics, or may even attain a better
standard of vision than soft torics.
Historically, there is a lower incidence of infection problems with RGP
wearers compared to soft lens wearers, although
these comparisons were made before the days of daily
disposable soft lenses which have a fairly unblemished
track record. RGP lenses are available in bifocal and multifocal forms, and as toric lenses if there are very large
amounts of astigmatism. If you would like more information about contact
lenses of any type, please talk to us. As independent opticians we have the freedom to offer the products
which we feel will most benefit the individual patients we see.
We do not use “own-brand” products to increase
profitability and restrict choice. We use what's right for you.
Orthokeratology
OrthoK is an amazing way of reshaping your cornea whilst you sleep,
such that you'll be able to see well all day without the need for glasses or contact lenses.
Sounds too good to be true? It's only suitable for a limited range of prescriptions, but if it could work for you,
it's what you might call a Dream Lens (!). Please contact us for more information or click this link www.orthoklenses.com.
We offer a free initial consultation to discuss OrthoK suitability. We just require an up to date Spectacle Prescription.

Spectacle Lenses:
| As independent practitioners we are not limited to
which suppliers we can use, as a result we can source
most products. Our main suppliers are Essilor, Hoya and Seiko, but we use lenses by Zeiss, Rodenstock and Kodak too.
A full range of specialist coatings and treatments are
offered, including Reflection Free, Transitions (variable
tint), tinted and polarised lenses. Please ask about
our comprehensive range of thinner and lighter lenses.
We are able to calculate lens thicknesses before you
order to guarantee a successful outcome, and we have
a demonstrator kit for Varilux and bifocal lenses, so
you can try before you buy. Please call in, we will be
happy to discuss your lens requirements. |

Frames:
Both practices stock over 700 styles,
including well known brands such as Prada, Armani, D&G, Versace, Gucci, Adidas, Nike and Playboy.
Hugo Boss, Ted Baker, Lulu Guinness and Ben Sherman are recent additions to our ranges.
We also have several ranges where the style and workmanship speaks for itself,
and the assurance of quality that a well known brand gives is quite unnecessary.
We also carry a large range of Economy, Fashion and Traditional frames too,
and a growing range of Titanium frames. We are confident that we have something to suit all tastes and budgets.
Rimless eyewear is still a popular choice, and this is an area of speciality for us.
Advice on the best choice of lens material, lens shape and mount types for each individual prescription is available,
and our rimless eyewear is manufactured using the latest CNC technology and assembled locally by our rimless glazing specialist.
