Almost anyone can wear contact lenses, but special considerations are needed for some categories, e.g. younger adults and children. Contact lenses are lenses which are worn on the front part of the eye (the cornea) producing the same visual effect as glasses. There are contact lenses for myopia, hypermetropia, astigmatism, presbyopia and cosmetic lenses (if you want to change your eye colour).

We stock all brands of daily disposables, monthly disposables, three monthly disposables, gas-permeable and UV blocking lenses. Soft lenses are more fragile than gas-permeable when first inserted into the eye. Modern technology allows both gas-permeable and soft to be made in many different materials.

At at B H McKeague we select the right contact lens for you dependant upon your individual requirements.
