Soft contact lenses are a popular choice of lens. Made from plastic and water, these lenses allow oxygen to pass through to your cornea. Soft lenses are also comfortable and moisten your eyes to help reduce dry eyes.

Most soft contact lenses are disposable, whether they are worn daily, biweekly or monthly. As they are disposable, less cleaning is required and you often get to use a new, fresh, comfortable pair of lenses.

Many types of soft contact lenses also offer UV protection.

Daily disposable lenses are a type of soft contact lens. They are often used to correct short or longsightedness. They're also the healthiest and most convenient way to wear contact lenses, as you can wear a fresh, clear lens every day. There is no need for solutions, which can sometimes cause irritation or dry eyes. Daily contact lenses are also ideal for people who suffer from hay fever or allergies, as with fresh lenses, pollen or other particles are less likely to touch the lens and your eye.

Many reusable contact lenses like monthly and two-weekly lenses are used to correct nearsightedness or farsightedness. They can be worn daily, however, rather than disposing of them at the end of the day, you can clean and store them until you need to wear them again. Reusable lenses are also a cheaper option of contact lenses. We have several contact lens solutions for cleaning your reusable lenses.

Rigid gas-permeable lenses are stiffer than soft contact lenses and made from silicone. They are designed to correct some cases of astigmatism and let oxygen pass through the lens to your cornea. They are also reusable, easy to look after and more durable than soft contact lenses, however, not as comfortable to wear to begin with. RGP lenses are also available as disposables.

Astigmatism is a common eye condition that affects many children as well as adults. It is caused by the shape of your eye, which isn’t completely round. It can cause blurry or distorted vision at all distances, depending on the strength of the condition. Toric contact lenses are specially designed to fit the shape of astigmatic eyes. They are available various forms, including daily, reusable, soft or RGP. The Toric contact lens has two functions, one to correct the astigmatism and the other for near or farsightedness.

Also known as bifocal or multifocal contact lenses, varifocals are ideal for people with presbyopia. This is a common an age-related condition, which makes it harder for your eyes to focus from far to near, due to the lens of your eye becoming less flexible. A common sign of this condition is struggling to read up close.

Varifocal lenses are ideal if you struggle with both far and nearsightedness, as the distance prescription and near prescription are both in the same lens. They are available in different forms, like RGP and soft.
