Trying new types of contact lenses

It’s easy to get stuck into a routine with your contact lenses and keep re-ordering the same ones time after time. Many of our customers have been wearing the same contact lenses for 10 or more years, even though other lenses have drastically improved in quality since then.

The most notable improvement being daily and monthly silicone hydrogel lenses which allow more oxygen in and keep your eyes moisturised for longer; making them much more comfortable to wear.

Multifocal contact lenses are also becoming increasingly popular and Vision Direct now offers a huge range of multifocal lenses including daily multifocals. This has enabled the over 50’s to join the ever increasing 3.7 million contact lens wearers in the UK.

Switching to a newer type of contact lens, or a contact lens which is specifically designed for your type of vision problem, can help to give you greater comfort and sharper vision for longer.

“Please ensure you talk to your optician if you have an astigmatism or any other eye problems. We obviously always recommend yearly check-ups with your optician as an eye test can reveal a lot more than poor sight.”
