At your first appointment, we will assess your suitability for contact lenses if you've not worn them before or if you have and want to try again.
We will help you decide which lenses to choose, explain the process, teach you how to put your lenses on and take them off of your eyes, and explain how to look after them.
Whenever we try a patient in a lens they haven't worn before we do a follow-up check to make sure vision and eye health are both satisfactory and, in some cases, we may need to try several different kinds of lenses.
Contact lens patients can either pay for each appointment separately or pay a one off fitting fee that covers all follow-up appointments until we're happy with the lenses. We also offer a direct debit facility for patients who want to order their lenses on a regular basis.
THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF CONTACT LENSES
We stock a wide variety of different types of lenses and regularly update our range as new lenses become available. We fit specialist lenses for myopia management (a method of preventing short sight from becoming worse and worse), high prescriptions, and complex medical needs, as well as bifocal, multi-focal lenses, and Nocturnal orthokerotology lenses, which are worn at night and removed on waking but give great vision all day!

AFTERCARE & ADVICE
Because contact lenses sit on the surface of the eye, we have a responsibility to make sure that we check the health of your eyes on a regular basis. This means that we aren't able to provide contact lenses for patients if their contact lens prescription is out of date.
MYOPIA MANAGEMENT
CONTACT LENSES
At Paul Adler Optometrist, we supply non-pharmacological approaches to managing myopia, including special single-vision spectacle lenses like (MiYOSMART), multifocal spectacles, dual-focus contact lenses (monthly or daily disposable) and Ortho-K contact lenses which are worn at night and removed in the morning to give good vision all day and control of short sight.
