Contact lenses
From £35
4.9 (640)Fitting £35, plans from £14 a month · 40 minutes
A 40-minute fitting with trial lenses to take home, then a monthly plan that covers your lenses, solutions and every aftercare check.
What is included
- A check of your tears and the front of the eye under the slit lamp
- Measurements of your cornea to choose the lens shape
- Trial lenses fitted and checked on the eye
- A one-to-one lesson in putting lenses in and taking them out
- A week of trial lenses to take home
- A follow-up visit to check the fit, included
Contact lenses go wrong for two reasons: a lens that does not fit the eye, and a wearer who was never shown how to look after it. The fitting deals with both.
The fitting
Tomasz or Hannah looks at the front of your eye under the slit lamp, checks your tears, and measures the curve of your cornea. You try lenses in the room, we look at how they sit and move, and you go home with a week of trials.
Dailies or monthlies?
Dailies are simpler and the safest option for most people: a fresh lens every morning, no cases, no solutions. Monthlies cost less per day and suit people who wear lenses every day for long hours. We will tell you which we would choose for your eyes, and why.
The plan
A monthly plan sends lenses to your door every quarter and covers every aftercare appointment. Plans start at £14 a month for monthly lenses and £24 a month for dailies. Cancel with a month’s notice.

“Fifteen years of giving up on contact lenses. Tomasz found a toric daily that stays put, and the lesson went on until I could actually do it.”
What people ask us first
Can I wear contact lenses if I have astigmatism?
Almost always. Toric lenses correct astigmatism and are available as dailies and monthlies. The fitting takes a few minutes longer.
What if I cannot get them in?
Most people cannot on the first try. The lesson lasts as long as it needs to, and you can come back for a second one free.
Can I cancel a plan?
Yes, with a month's notice. There is no minimum term.
