At Geoff Steven and Son we make it even easier to try contact lenses with the freedom of our GUARENTEED CONTACT LENS SUCCESS PROGRAMME. We carry all the latest in contact lens technology and if you are not completely successful with your contact lenses within 3 months we will refund the cost of your lenses.
During our contact lens fitting examinations we analyse your tear film and corneal surface and structure to assess your suitability for contact lenses. We will listen to your needs and then recommend the contact lenses we feel are most appropriate for you. There are several different types of contact lenses available these include:
1. Daily disposable:
Spherical, astigmatic or multifocal.
Why this type?
Very convenient. No solutions. Hygienic.
2. Fortnightly disposable:
Spherical, astigmatic or multifocal.
Why this type?
Some of these lenses are made out of silicon, a material that is extremely permeable to oxygen, and part of the Acuvue “comfort series”. This will promote improved eye health and enhance the comfort, reducing the end of day drying.
3. Monthly disposable:
Spherical, astigmatic or multifocal.
Why this type?
The most economical way to wear contact lenses.
4. Continuous wear:
7 or 30 day.
Why this type?
A very convenient way to wear contact lenses. Insert them and wear them continuously for either a week or a month, depending on the type selected.
5. 6 monthly disposable rigid gas permeable (RGP):
Spherical, astigmatic or multifocals.
Why this type?
They provide extremely good vision for most astigmatic patients (see below). Most complications and adverse reactions associated with all contact lens wear tend to be less with this modality of wear.
6. NIKE Maxsight sport tinted contact lenses:
Why this type?
The patented Light Architecture optics selectively filters specific wavelengths of light to enhance contrast and reduce discomfort and stress associated with glare. There are two types: -Amber, which is ideal for tracking a fast moving ball. -Green, for use in sports, played in bright sunlight where visual comfort and glare are issues. The grey-green tint will also improve detail and contour recognition. (www.nikevision.com).
7. Chromagen
Spherical and astigmatic.
Why this type?
These are specially tinted soft contact lenses to enhance the colour vision of 90% of colour blind patients. (www.dyslexia-help.co.uk).
