Question 2

How do I put in contact lenses?

Accepted Answer

Whilst there are many different techniques to put in soft contact lenses, you should always use the method that feels most comfortable to you. Before you start, ensure your hands are clean and dry.

Remove the lens from the packet, place it on the tip of your finger, and make sure it is in the correct position.

Using your other hand, you'll need to hold your eye open with one finger on the lower lid and another on the upper eyelid.

When ready, look straight ahead and insert the lens.

Finally, you may need to adjust the lens for comfort by moving the lens using your finger to ensure a comfortable fit.

Question 4

Can I buy contact lenses for astigmatism?

Accepted Answer

There are special types of contact lenses available to address specific vision problems such as astigmatism and presbyopia. Toric lenses are suitable if you have astigmatism and multifocal lenses are available if you have presbyopia. Even if your lens is not in stock, we can order it in for you, and once you've ordered a few times we'll make sure to stock your lens, meaning shorter delivery times. Plus, with our free delivery on orders over £59, competitive pricing, and price match guarantee, you can always be sure you’re getting cheap contact lenses for astigmatism.

Toric contact lenses for astigmatism

Toric contacts help to correct vision problems caused by an irregularly shaped cornea and will fit more comfortably than regular lenses if you suffer from astigmatism. They also help to prevent blurring and hazy vision which can be caused by astigmatism. If you're not sure whether you need a standard for myopia (short-sightedness) or hyperopia (long-sightedness) or toric contact lens, you can refer to your prescription or give us a call and check your prescription with us.

At Vision Direct, you can buy cheap toric contact lenses, and should you find the same product cheaper elsewhere, we’ll match the price. We offer a wide range of toric contact lenses for astigmatism, including Acuvue Oasys 1 Day for Astigmatism, Dailies Aquacomfort Plus Toric, and Air Optix Plus Hydraglyde for Astigmatism.

Multifocal contact lenses

You can wear multifocal contact lenses to correct presbyopia, without having to wear bifocal or varifocal glasses. Contacts offer you the freedom to enjoy daily life and sporting activities without glasses, which you might not have realised was possible if you previously wore varifocal or bifocal glasses. Vision Direct stocks soft multifocals made from breathable silicone hydrogel and materials that enhance comfort during use. If you're unsure whether multifocals are right for you, or what sort of lens you need, it's best to check with your optician before wearing them.

Vision Direct stocks a wide range of multifocal lenses from leading manufacturers, including Acuvue Oasys multifocal, Proclear 1 Day Multifocal, Air Optix Plus Hydraglyde Multifocal, and more multifocals.

Question 5

How should I care for my contact lenses?

Accepted Answer

Maintaining good lens care can protect your eyes from damage and eye infections. For daily contact lens wearers, ensure that you dispose of your contacts after each wear. If you use monthlies, two weekly, or extended wear contact lenses, make sure you correctly store and clean your contacts. We recommend handling your lenses with dry, clean hands, using a cleaning solution - not water - if you take them out to clean them.

Keep your lenses in a clean contact lens holder when you're not using them and fill it with fresh disinfecting solution. Try to keep your lens cases clean, rinsing and drying them between each use. Once a week you should also clean your cases with saline solution and a dedicated toothbrush to ensure optimum eye health. After three months, throw your lens cases away and replace them.
