Change your style contact lenses

INDEPENDENT EYECARE

Clear and comfortable vision

Contact lenses can give you clear, comfortable vision without wearing glasses every day. Whether you’re trying them for the first time, returning to lenses after a break or looking for a more suitable option, we’ll help you find lenses that fit your eyes, your lifestyle and your routine.

From our calm independent practice in Edinburgh’s Southside, in Marchmont and beside The Meadows, we take the time to make contact lenses feel simple, safe and manageable.

Contact lenses tailored to you

Every patient’s eyes are different, so contact lenses should never feel like a one-size-fits-all solution.

We’ll assess your vision, eye health and day-to-day needs before recommending the most suitable type of lens. We’ll also show you how to handle, insert, remove and care for your lenses, so you feel confident before wearing them on your own.

Contact lenses may be suitable if you:

  • Want more freedom from glasses  
  • Play sport or enjoy an active lifestyle  
  • Prefer a wider field of vision  
  • Want the flexibility to change your look  
  • Would like to wear sunglasses without needing prescription lenses every time  

More freedom with your style

One of the many positives about contact lenses is the flexibility they give you.

You can enjoy clear vision while choosing different frames for different occasions, or wearing non-prescription sunglasses when the weather calls for it. They’re a useful option if you like changing your style, whether that means pairing lenses with your favourite sunglasses or enjoying a glasses-free look day to day.

If you’re interested in sunglasses or quality frames, we can also help you explore our eyewear collection.

Ongoing support and aftercare

Comfortable contact lens wear depends on more than choosing the right lens at the start.

We’ll continue to monitor your eye health, comfort and vision over time, making adjustments if your needs change. If your lenses ever feel uncomfortable, your vision changes or you have questions, we’re here to help.
