Frequently Asked Questions

  • What types of contact lenses are available?

    Contact lenses are available in various formats including daily disposables, fortnightly and monthly lenses, as well as lenses designed for astigmatism or presbyopia. Daily lenses are replaced after each wear and offer convenience for occasional use or busy routines. Fortnightly and monthly lenses are cleaned and stored between uses and may offer wider prescription ranges. Specialised toric and multifocal lenses help support clarity for specific visual requirements, giving users access to a broad range of options.

  • How does an optometrist determine the right contact lens fit?

    Correct fitting involves measuring corneal curvature, assessing tear film quality and evaluating how the lenses interact with the eye during movement. Trial lenses are placed on the eye to observe how they settle and whether they maintain an appropriate position with each blink. The optometrist reviews clarity, comfort and lens movement to determine whether adjustments are needed. Once an optimal fit is found, follow-up assessments ensure the lens remains compatible with long-term use.

  • Are contact lenses difficult to maintain?

    Maintenance requirements depend on the type of lens. Daily disposables require no cleaning because they are discarded after each use. Fortnightly and monthly lenses need to be cleaned and stored in fresh solution to maintain lens quality and reduce the risk of irritation. Proper hygiene practices, including hand washing and avoiding water exposure, play an important role in safe lens wear. With correct routine and guidance, many users find maintenance manageable.

How We Fit & Assess Contact Lenses

When we assess contact lenses we begin by reviewing your prescription and examining the front surface of the eye to determine which lens shapes and materials will provide a stable and comfortable fit.


We measure corneal curvature, evaluate tear film quality and check for any factors that might influence lens movement or clarity. We then select trial lenses that match your requirements and assess how they sit on the eyes, ensuring appropriate alignment and hydration. Throughout this process we observe how the lenses behave during blinking and movement, as this helps determine whether adjustments are needed.


We also discuss hygiene routines, replacement schedules and wear-time guidelines so you understand how to care for your lenses. Once we confirm a suitable fit, we provide follow-up checks to monitor comfort and stability over time.
