Contact lenses offer an alternative to spectacles, and options spectacles simply can't provide — such as correcting an irregularly shaped cornea. Every patient at our Contact Lens Clinic receives a detailed corneal and tear-film assessment before a lens type and fit are recommended, from everyday convenience wear to specialty lenses that restore function after keratoconus or corneal surgery.
Conditions we treat
- Routine refractive error where lenses are preferred over spectacles
- Astigmatism requiring toric lens correction
- Presbyopia suited to multifocal lenses
- Keratoconus and other irregular corneal shapes
- Vision rehabilitation after corneal transplant or refractive surgery
- Dry eye or ocular surface conditions requiring therapeutic bandage lenses
Diagnosis & technology
- Corneal curvature measurement (keratometry) and topography
- Tear film and ocular surface evaluation
- Trial lens fitting and over-refraction
- Slit-lamp examination of lens fit and eye-surface health
Treatment options
-
Soft contact lenses — daily or periodic disposables
-
Toric soft lenses for astigmatism; multifocal lenses for presbyopia
-
Rigid gas-permeable (RGP) lenses for irregular corneas or complex prescriptions
-
Scleral lenses — vault over the whole cornea, valuable for keratoconus and severe dry eye
-
Therapeutic/bandage lenses to protect a healing corneal surface
-
Lens care and hygiene counselling
When to seek care
Remove your lenses immediately and contact us the same day for eye redness that doesn't improve after removal, eye pain, unusual discharge, light sensitivity, or blurred vision that doesn't clear. A white/grey spot on the cornea, or redness with pain, needs urgent same-day evaluation.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know which lens type is right for me?
A comprehensive fitting assessment — not a one-time trial — determines the best option based on refractive error, corneal shape, tear film, and lifestyle.
Can people with keratoconus wear contact lenses?
Yes — specialty lenses like RGP or scleral lenses are often the best way to achieve clear vision when an irregular cornea makes spectacles inadequate.
Is it safe to sleep in my contact lenses?
Most lenses are for daytime wear only; sleeping in unapproved lenses significantly increases infection risk. Always follow your prescribed wear-time.
How often should I replace lenses and clean my case?
This depends on lens type — always follow the prescribed schedule, use fresh solution each time, and replace your case regularly.
