What it involves

Spectacles and contact lenses correct how the eye focuses light. They are made from a prescription following an eye test. An optician or optometrist helps you choose frames or lens types, measures how the lenses must sit and fits contact lenses with instruction on how to insert, remove and clean them.

Who it is for

They are for people who have blurred vision from short-sightedness, long-sightedness, astigmatism or age-related focusing change. Children and adults can wear both, and the clinician will advise what suits you, since not everyone can wear contact lenses comfortably.

How long it usually takes

Choosing spectacles may take a single visit, and making them can take from a short time to a few days. Contact lens fitting normally needs a fitting appointment and a follow-up check.

What to expect

You will try frames, discuss lens options such as coatings, and have measurements taken. For contact lenses the fitter checks the surface of your eye, tries trial lenses and teaches handling and hygiene. A follow-up checks comfort.

Aftercare

Clean and store lenses exactly as advised, never sleep in lenses unless your clinician has said that is suitable, and replace them on schedule. Return for check-ups. Contact the practice and remove lenses if an eye becomes red, painful or sensitive to light.

When to seek it

Visit if your sight has changed, your glasses are damaged or no longer comfortable, or you want to discuss contact lenses. Eye pain or redness while wearing lenses needs prompt attention.

What affects the cost

Cost depends on the lens type and coatings, the frame, the contact lens type and replacement schedule, and aftercare. HealthNaro shows a price only where a clinic has supplied a figure with a source and date.
