IF WE CAN DO IT, YOU CAN DO IT
You might feel apprehensive about applying a contact lens for the first time. That's understandable - we all did, at first. But it is a lot easier than you'd imagine. Millions of people worldwide wear contact lenses, and it becomes second-nature in no time at all.
THERE'S NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT
You're not the first person to try contact lenses, nor the last. In fact, contact lens technology has rapidly evolved in recent years, just like all other forms of technology - and each different type of lens has features designed to make them as comfortable as possible.
IN LENS-LOVING PROFESSIONALS WE TRUST
Our number one piece of advice to any contact lens novice is visit an optician. You can buy lenses from most opticians nowadays, but we strongly recommend sitting down with an optician to get their advice on wearing lenses. In fact nearly 8,000 are registered on our site throughout Europe - and possibly someone is just around the corner from you.
YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING
Contact lenses are very safe if you use them as indicated by your optician. Remember that good hygiene is important, so please wash and dry your hands thoroughly before you apply and remove your lenses.
Yes, your contact lenses should feel comfortable in your eyes. Your optician will measure your eye and recommend the correct type of lens. You can also see what other wearers say about wearing contact lenses. If you experience discomfort, please see your optician.
Contact lenses and glasses are complimentary forms of vision correction.
There may be times when glasses may be more convenient than contact lenses. You may prefer to wear contact lenses to work, or when you read or watch TV at home. You may want to play ball, water or contact sports without feeling encumbered by glasses. Or you may just prefer to have a glasses-free look for aesthetic reasons, so you always look and feel like yourself.
If you opt for contact lenses as your primary vision correction, we recommend having a pair of glasses for times that you are not wearing contact lenses.
Daily disposable contact lenses are developed to last from application in the morning until removal in the mid to late evening. We advise wearers to carefully follow the recommendations provided by your optician.
This depends on the type of contact lens that you are using. For example, AIR OPTIX® NIGHT & DAY® AQUA Contact Lenses are lenses specially designed to be worn continuously up to 30 days. Please ask your optician for more information.
