Be cautious when buying online contact lenses
With Halloween just around the corner and the opportunity to buy many different devilish designed contact lenses over the internet, we advise everyone to be careful when purchasing these products. Many online sellers are not regulated as we are when supplying contact lenses.
Contact lenses are a medical device and require a valid prescription. But with some cosmetic contact lenses, a prescription isn’t required. Online companies do not always have to follow the same guidelines and regulations we do. So you won’t know if the lenses are stored correctly, which could lead to issues with your eyes, including eye infections.

Look stylish like GBBO’s Prue in Theo eyewear
The short spell of sunshine we recently experienced has come to an end and summer has very quickly moved into autumn. The days are getting shorter, colder and unfortunately wetter. But on a positive note, with the night’s drawing in we can start to settle into cosy evenings watching some of our favourite shows which have just returned to our TV screens.

The advantages of switching to contact lenses
Contact lenses have been available from optical practices for as long as the NHS has been operating their spectacle voucher scheme. They are steeped in history, with the first and most basic concept of a contact lens being credited to the great inventor, Leonardo da Vinci.
Whilst he was unable to produce a working contact lens, his understanding and hypothesis about a ‘bowl shaped’ device with variable water content is a premise that has remained throughout the development of the contact lenses manufactured today.

Like them or loathe them: all you need to know about Varifocal Lenses
There are many different types of spectacle lenses available on the market. As we age, there will most likely come a time when your optician recommends switching to a varifocal lens. Varifocal lenses are the most advanced type of lens you can buy. They provide vision for all distances in a single lens and are an option for people over 40 who have presbyopia.
A lot of people cringe at the prospect of wearing varifocals. Even when they are the best solution for a customer’s prescription and lifestyle needs. We frequently get told they have tried varifocal lenses in the past and didn’t get on with them. For example, they made the wearer feel odd or sick, they struggled to find the reading area or felt a swimming effect. Another popular comment is that the intermediate area isn’t big enough for the computer work they do.
Many of our clients fall into the 40 plus age category. So we thought we would talk about the many different varifocal or progressive lenses available. And why sometimes wearing them doesn’t always go to plan.
