Types of Contact Lenses

Monthly
Monthly lenses are deigned to be worn for one month and then disposed of. They are made of a soft gel material that is both very comfortable and allows oxygen through to the surface of the eyes. They also have a high water content that keeps the eyes from dehydrating.

See our range of monthly disposable lenses here

Weekly
Similar to monthly lenses, weekly lenses are designed to be replaced every one or two weeks.

See our range of weekly disposable lenses here

Daily
Daily lenses are made to be worn for a single day and then disposed of. This makes them a good option for sports or occasional wear. Because you have a fresh pair of lenses every day they don't require cleaning or storage overnight.

Extended Wear
Extended wear lenses can be worn for longer periods without removing the lens.  Because they are made of a more oxygen permeable material these lenses can be worn even overnight for between 7 and 30 days. 

Cosmetic Coloured
Coloured lenses are available in a wide range of colours. There are also lenses that make your eyes look larger and brighter. They are available as both daily and monthly lenses.
 
Hard Lenses
Hard lenses are made from a more rigid and durable material. They are suitable for those with certain eye conditions (for example Keratoconus) and are available in higher prescriptions. They can can offer a better quality of vision.
