Contact lenses
If you find wearing your prescription spectacles restrictive, contact lenses could be an ideal solution. Contact lenses offer a hygienic, low cost and comfortable way of correcting your vision.
Contact lens technology has advanced a lot in recent years and there are numerous options available including daily, fortnightly and monthly contact lenses. They allow you to participate in sports and other activities without restriction and in bad weather conditions.
You can also enjoy 3D films without your regular glasses getting in the way and with a wider field of vision.
We offer a highly personalised eye care service that will make choosing and trying your contact lenses a pleasant and exciting experience. Mr Ryatt will assist you in choosing the most appropriate lenses to benefit you and maintain the health of your eyes. We are here to help you overcome any confidence issues you may have regarding your new contact lenses.
We provide all types of prescription contact lenses including daily disposable, monthly, multifocal, toric and extended wear lenses.

Initial contact lens assessment
At Ryatt Optometry you can simply request an appointment by calling us to book your initial contact lens assessment.
During your first visit, your Optometrist will check the health of your eyes to ensure you will be suitable for wearing contact lenses. The assessment is painless and the process usually takes about an hour. We will advise you every step of the way and answer any questions or concerns you may have.
After your initial consultation and eye examination, we will recommend and prescribe the most suitable contact lenses for your eyes and book you in for a second visit to show you how to fit and care for your new lenses.
Your personally prescribed pair or set of contact lenses can then be used for a trial period to ensure you are happy with the comfort as well as the sharpness of your vision. We’ll then request one final visit several days later to check all is well with the health of your eyes before proceeding with the ordering process and payment options.
