Every type of contact lens,
expertly fitted
Whether you're a first-time wearer or switching from glasses, we'll match you to the right lens type for your prescription, lifestyle, and eyes.
Daily disposables
Fresh lenses every morning, discarded every night. No cleaning, no storage solution, no buildup. The healthiest and most hygienic option for most wearers.
Monthly lenses
Worn daily and replaced each month. A cost-effective option for full-time wearers with consistent, easy-to-clean lenses that last the whole month.
Toric lenses
Designed with a precise orientation to correct astigmatism. Available in daily and monthly wear. We fit both soft toric and hard RGP toric lenses depending on your prescription.
Multifocal lenses
Correct both near and distance vision in a single lens. An excellent alternative to reading glasses for patients over 40 who want clear vision at all distances.
Coloured lenses
Enhance or change your eye colour while correcting your vision. Available in both prescription and plano (zero power) options. Only prescribed and fitted by a qualified optician — never bought without a fitting.
Hard / RGP lenses
Rigid gas-permeable lenses offer exceptional optical clarity and durability. They allow more oxygen to reach the eye than older hard lenses, and last 1–2 years with proper care. Ideal for complex prescriptions.
Your contact lens fitting,
step by step
A contact lens fitting is a separate appointment from your eye test. Here's exactly what happens when you come in.
Eye test & prescription
If you don't have a current prescription, we start with a full eye examination. Contact lens and spectacle prescriptions are slightly different, so we measure both.
Corneal assessment
We measure the curvature of your cornea to determine the correct lens size and base curve. This ensures the lens sits correctly on your eye without causing pressure or movement.
Trial lens fitting
You'll try a pair of trial lenses. We check the fit using a slit lamp, assess comfort, and confirm your vision is clear. Most patients leave with lenses the same day.
Handling & care training
We teach you exactly how to insert, remove, and care for your lenses safely. First-time wearers get as much time as they need — we won't rush you.
Honest advice.
The right fit.
We won't fit you with lenses that aren't right for your eyes — even if they're cheaper.
Clinically led fittings
Every fitting is done by a qualified optician — not a salesperson. We assess your tear film, corneal health, and lens movement before prescribing.
All brands available
We stock lenses from leading international brands. If a specific lens works better for your eyes, we'll source it — we're not tied to a single supplier.

Walk-ins welcome
No appointment needed — walk in any weekday or Saturday. For complex fittings (RGP, keratoconus), booking ahead is recommended.
Coloured lenses without a fitting can seriously damage your eyes
Coloured contact lenses sold in beauty shops, market stalls, or online without a prescription are medical devices being used without clinical oversight. They can cause corneal abrasions, infections, and — in serious cases — permanent vision loss. Always get your lenses from a registered optician.
- Coloured lenses are a medical device — not a fashion accessory
- A fitting checks that the lens diameter matches your cornea
- We prescribe plano (zero power) coloured lenses too — no prescription needed
- Our lenses come from regulated manufacturers with safety certification
- Fitting takes under 30 minutes — walk in today
