Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are contact lenses safe for daily use?
Yes - when worn correctly and cared for as advised, contact lenses are a safe and effective vision correction option. Follow hygiene guidelines and regular check-ups.
Do contact lenses expire?
Yes. Contact lenses have a use-by date printed on the packaging. Always discard expired lenses, and don't wear daily lenses more than once.
What if my eyes feel dry with contacts?
We can recommend high-moisture lenses or eye drops compatible with contact lens wear. Let us know if you have dry eye symptoms during wear.
Can I sleep in contact lenses?
Only certain lenses are approved for extended wear. Sleeping in lenses not designed for it can increase your risk of infection.
How often should I have a contact lens check-up?
We recommend yearly reviews, or sooner if you experience discomfort, vision changes, or red eyes while wearing contacts.
How much do contact lenses cost?
Prices vary by type and brand. Daily disposables are not as cost effective but they are better for your eye health. We offer bulk-ordering discounts.
