Get contact lenses in store

Before you start wearing contact lenses, you’ll need to have two types of appointments in order for us to make sure that we choose the best lenses to suit your requirements.

The first appointment is a standard eye test, where the optician will examine your eyes, checking the quality of your vision, as well as an overview of the health and function of your eyes.

If you’ve had an eye test within the last two years, you won’t need to have another one. We can fit contact lenses within two years of your last eye test, but we’d recommend that you have an up-to-date appointment so that we can fit your lenses to the most accurate prescription. You can also bring in a recent prescription from any other optician, too.

 After we’ve got all the information we need about your prescription and your eye health, we’ll ask you to pop back into store for a contact lens assessment.

Ordering contact lenses online

If you’re already a contact lens customer with us, and your lenses are available to buy online, you can get your next batch of contacts online in 3 to 12 month supplies. Just make sure that you’ve had a recent check up or aftercare appointment to ensure that your eyes are healthy, and that your prescription is up-to-date.

DOs & DON’TS

Wondering if it’s safe to buy contact lenses online? We’ve put together some tips for buying lenses online to make sure you’re looking after your eyes.

DOS

• If you currently use a specific brand, you should stick to it. You should only ever change the lens you use based on advice from your optician.

DON’Ts

• We don’t recommend that you buy your contact lenses from ‘just anywhere’. Look out for a well-known supplier you’re familiar with, and read a few brand reviews before you buy anything.

Make sure the company gives you all of the following lens information:

• The brand

• Name of the lens

• Power

• Cylinder (if any)

• Sphere

• Axis (if any)

• Base curve

• Power

• Diameter

• Peripheral curves (if any)
