What can I do about dry eyes with contact lenses?
Talk with us at your next eye appointment, as there are a range of things we can do, in order to make CL wear more comfortable:
- Change your contact lens design or material.
- Move to daily disposable lenses
- Some people who are always uncomfortable in soft lenses can be successfully fitted into rigid gas-permeable lenses.
- Remove and rinse, and reinsert lenses half way through your wearing time.
- Lubricant eye drops
- Change wearing patterns
If you have any concerns about your eyes or contact lenses, please be in touch.

What is colour blindness?
The eye determines the colour of what we are looking at by how much response comes from each of three types of light receptors (red, green, or blue). The most common type of colour vision deficiency is where one type of light receptor, usually red or green, doesn't work as well.
This reduces the range and appearance of colours, with some colours that are clearly different to normal eyes appearing the same to a colour deficient people. What do they see? one demo, another.
True colour blindness - black and white only - is very rare. Colour vision deficiencies are usually inherited, and are more common in boys than girls.
