why choose contact lenses?
Contact lenses have become popular as an alternative to wearing glasses full time because they can offer greater freedom, convenience and safety for sports activities. Contact lenses can also provide more flexibility in choosing your own eye colour, from subtle to dramatic colours, to enhance or completely change your existing eye colour. Coloured contact lenses are also available with or without a corrective prescription. how do I get contact lenses? Even if you already have a glasses prescription, or donít require any visual correction, youíll still need to have a contact lens consultation with an eye-care practitioner - usually an optometrist or ophthalmologist. The consultation differs from a regular eye examination, as an optometrist needs to measure the surface of your eye. But donít worry it doesnít hurt! Optometrists then prescribe a contact lens designed to suit the way you live your life, then check that your lenses fit correctly and comfortably, and provide clear vision. You will also be shown how to insert and remove them safely, and how to clean and care for your new contact lenses. how long does it take to get contact lenses? Depending on your prescription and lens design, some disposable lenses are available on the spot at your local OPSM store. Those that have to be ordered are generally available from 2-7 working days. how often should I get my eyes tested for contact lenses? A contact lens consultation is recommended every 12 months or as recommended by your optometrist. whatís the latest in contact lens technology? The OPSM Group has a new and exclusive range of monthly disposable contact lenses called Activize. Activize lenses are a new generation contact lens design incorporating an aspheric front surface which provides improved vision* particularly for those with mild astigmatism. Activize suits a wide range of contact lens wearers and is available on the spot at OPSM stores.
