Diagnostic examination
Spectacles
“How do you choose?
Contact lenses offer a more convenient form eyewear which is substantially lighter, more natural and can change your eye colour. Despite these reasons, contact lenses can be high maintenance, requiring schedules to be worn, cleaned and replaced, which can make spectacles a more attractive alternative.
Spectacles can be a lot simpler to wear and manage. And the frames we have in store can make you look fantastic! Of course, there is nothing wrong with having both, wearing glasses most of the time, and contacts on special or sporting occasions.
Lens types and technologies
Ask us about the differences between single vision lenses, bifocals and trifocals, and progressive lenses.
You might also like to ask about photochromic (automatically darkening) lenses and anti- reflective lenses that can reduce glare, reflected light and night ‘ghosting’.”
When an optometrist (whether John or someone else) gives you a prescription to help you see better, you have a choice. Specs or contacts? (Or, for a small number of people, laser surgery.)
