Don’t Swim or Sleep with Your Contacts Lenses In

Swimming or showering with your contact lenses in will cause eye irritation, as will sleeping with them in. Your lenses are designed to be removed when sleeping, allowing your eye to breath.

Boost in Confidence – Range of Options

Contact lenses help to give confidence levels a welcome boost with a full range of options from disposable to prescribed options. The lenses will fit on your eye and will not come loose, as long as you insert them properly.

Myths You Need to Know

The first myth that many people worry about is having a contact getting lodged behind your eye. This is a complete myth, the thin membrane that protects the eye will prevent the lens moving behind the eye.

Contact lenses pop out of the eye during sports, is another of the many myths. Modern contact lenses are designed using the latest technology and they remain in the eye and comfortable when playing sports.
