Question 1

How do I choose the right contact lenses?

Accepted Answer

Vision Direct stocks all the leading contact lens brands including Acuvue, Biofinity, Dailies and more. With so many options available, choosing the right contact lens can be a challenge. We recommend a daily lens as it is disposable, requires less care and considered more hygienic. For comfort, we advise opting for a silicone hydrogel lens as these allow more oxygen to reach the eye. You can also choose between monthly, two-weekly and even extended wear contact lenses. View our full range including cheap contact lenses here.

Question 2

How do I put in contact lenses?

Accepted Answer

Whilst there are many different techniques to putting in lenses, you should always use the method that feels most comfortable to you. Before you start, ensure your hands are clean and dry.

1. Remove the lens from the packet, place it on the tip of your finger and make sure it is in the correct position.

2. Using your other hand you will need to hold your eye open with one finger on the lower lid and another on the upper eyelid.

3. When ready, look straight ahead and insert the lens.

4. Finally, you may need to adjust the lens for comfort by moving the lens using your finger to ensure a comfortable fit.

Question 5

How should I care for my contact lenses?

Accepted Answer

Taking care of your contact lenses can protect your eyes from damage and infections. For daily lens wearers, ensure that you dispose of your contacts after each wear. If you use monthlies, two weekly, or extended wear contact lenses, make sure you correctly store and clean your contacts. We recommend handling your lenses with dry, clean hands, using cleaning solution - not water - if you take them out to clean them.

Keep your lenses in a clean contact lens holder when you’re not using them, and fill it with fresh disinfecting solution. Try to keep your lens cases clean, rinsing and drying them between each use. Once a week you should also clean your cases with saline solution and a dedicated toothbrush. After three months, throw your lens cases away and replace them.
