At Bannister Eyecare, we’ll support you throughout your contact lens journey. We offer a careful and user-friendly approach to contact lenses. From your initial fitting to comprehensive aftercare appointments we will make sure you get to enjoy all the perks of contact lenses that work for you and keep your eyes healthy. Even if you've previously been told contact lenses are not the right choice for you, with modern lens technology you have a good chance of finding a solution that’s safe and comfortable.
If you have decided that you’re ready to give contact lenses a try, the first step is an assessment with one of our optometrists.
They will test your eyes, calculate your prescription and discuss your requirements for wearing contact lenses.
With all this information they can tell you whether you can wear contact lenses safely and which type will suit you best.
At the end of your assessment your optometrist will try you with some contact lenses and will assess your vision, lens fit, and eye health to ensure all is suitable.
There are different types of contact lenses available to suit different routines and eye types. Your optometrist will recommend an option that works for you and explain how the different types could work with your schedule.
The most common lenses are soft – they are easy to use, comfortable and adaptable for different eye types. Depending on your needs you can choose between daily or monthly contact lenses - your optometrist can discuss all of the options with you so you make the right decision for you.
Once you’ve started using contact lenses, we need to make sure that your eyes stay healthy and monitor your eyesight.
Aftercares allow us to do just that, allowing us to make sure your eyes are happy and healthy with your contact lens wear. The appointments are essential to make sure you get the best out of your lens wear for many years to come.
