Frequently
asked questions Will
I need an initial sight test? Yes,
We need to test your eyes but also look a lot deeper, contact lens wear is
reliant on many factors such as tear formation, corneal health and curvature etc I’ve We
can work from another prescription but as mentioned above there are many other
factors concerned in successful lens wear. What
will I have to pay “up front”? The
initial examination is £20 unless you are entitled to help with prescription
charge (please ask) We
will then fit a pair of lenses which you can wear for a week (this trial is
completely free) Only
if you proceed with lenses a fitting fee of £18 (£12 for students) will be
payable. What
about my current specs? We
can update them but since lens wear will normally cover most of your
requirements this probably won’t be necessary yet. What
other discounts will I get? Once
you are having regular supplies of lenses you will be entitled to further
discounts on specs and sunglasses.
What about these "lenses from £9.99" offers I see? Outwardly attractive, you have to take note of the word "from". Until recently we supplied 2 types of monthly disposable lenses, priced at £13 and £16 per month. About 3% of wearers have the £13 option, why? Simply the £16 lenses are more comfortable to wear. Contact lenses carry the following costs: Lenses, solutions & case, fitting fee's, check up's with and without lenses make sure the £9.99 includes ALL of these costs.
Lenses by post, that sounds convenient. Maybe, but you are not keeping up to date with prescription changes, new lens and cleaning developments and most importantly regular checks on the health of your eyes. Great until something goes wrong so it's not something we would advocate unless you have been with us and trouble free for a while. |
