Prescription & Coloured Contact Lenses at our Optician in Green Street

Specialeyes Eyecare in Green Street offers a variety of contact lenses. Because contact lenses are not a one-size-fits-all solution, it is critical that you be evaluated by a qualified optometrist. Your eye health is our number one concern. Based on your optical health, prescription, and requirements, the optometrist will be able to customise a plan that is suitable for your way of life as well as your requirements.

The lenses you need may even be available the same day you come in, as we have a selection of lenses in stock at our store. We provide a wide choice of contact lenses, including monthly, daily, coloured, and extended range lenses. We also provide hard and soft lenses.

Soft Prescription Contact Lens

Soft prescription contact lenses are the most commonly used lenses nowadays. Soft contact lenses, as the name implies, are manufactured from soft and flexible plastics, making them more comfortable and easier to get used to than other types of lenses. They are available in the following:

  • Sphere Daily disposable
  • Toric Daily disposable (Astigmatism)
  • Sphere Monthly reusable
  • Toric Monthly reusable (Astigmatism)

  • Soft-coloured lens

    Coloured contact lenses are for people who want to modify their eye colour while also seeing. They are currently only available in sphere lenses. If you have astigmatism and desire coloured contact lenses, please consult with our optometrist to determine the best solution for you. They are available in

  • Sphere Daily disposable
  • Sphere Monthly reusable

  • Other contact lenses

    Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) or hard lenses

    This was the first form of contact lens invented. It is constructed of a solid plastic that has been precisely shaped to fit the curvature of your cornea. This type of contact lens comes in a wide range of prescriptions and is only available as yearly lenses.

    Green Street custom contact lenses

    We also offer Cantor and Nissel custom aesthetic contact lenses for those who have an eye turn (strabismus) or scarring. We also offer custom contact lenses for high prescriptions provided by Mark' ennovy.

    How to Order Contact Lenses from Specialeyes Eyecare Opticians

    First and foremost, you will require a valid eye test prescription. This is required for a contact lens examination. You will next need to schedule a contact lens appointment either online or by calling us.

    We will conduct the following tests when you arrive:

    1- Pre-screening: We will measure your corneal curvature to determine which lenses are suited for a comfortable and good fit.

    2-Contact Lens Exam: This is where an optometrist will inspect the health of the front surface of your eye to identify the best type of lens for you.

    3- Teach: We'll show you the correct way to put in and take out your contact lenses if that's something you have never done before. We will also talk about the possible risks of wearing contact lenses and give you instructions on how to take care of them properly.

    4- Trial: We will provide you with free trial contact lenses to test (subject to availability).

    5- Order: Because we have a large inventory of contact lenses in store, we can supply contact lenses the same day. This is determined by your prescription.

    Questions FAQ
    • Are contact lenses an option for people with astigmatism?

      That's a pretty simple question to answer. Yes! The most recent developments in contact lens production have made it possible for patients with astigmatism to have contact lenses.
      You may not need special astigmatism lenses if you have a mild case of astigmatism.
      Contact lenses that correct astigmatism are known as "Toric" lenses. They are available in rigid gas permeable lenses and in soft lenses. For patients with astigmatism, these lenses are used to correct the astigmatism in order to improve eyesight.

    • Can contact lenses become stuck behind your eyes?

      No. There is a physical barrier that stops anything from entering the back of the eye, so contact lenses can never get stuck there.
      It is possible for a contact lens to become displaced from the centre of the eye and slide underneath the eyelid. If this occurs, you simply need to slide it back to its original position.

    • What should I do if I forget to take out my contact lenses before going to sleep?

      What should I do if I forget to take out my contact lenses before going to sleep? Do not remove the lens right away, since doing so could cause further harm to your eyes.
      Before attempting to take out the lens, make sure your eyes are well hydrated. If you wear contact lenses, you should try to administer lens comfort eyedrops or lubricating eyedrops until the surface of your eye is moistened. The lenses will become more mobile and easier to remove as a result.
      You should visit an optician immediately if you have persistent irritation, pain, or redness.
      If you need to wear your lenses all day long, please inform your optometrist so that they can help you pick the best lens for your needs.
