Tahmoor Contact Lenses
Eyepower in Tahmoor offers access to a wide selection of contact lenses tailored to meet various vision needs and lifestyle preferences. Contact lenses are a reliable and discreet alternative to glasses, and modern lens technology now allows for enhanced comfort, clarity, and long-term wearability.
At Eyepower, patients are supported in selecting lenses that suit their prescription and daily routine, whether they require soft daily lenses, extended-wear options, or hard lenses for specific conditions. The service includes professional fittings to ensure correct placement, comfort, and ongoing lens care. Our in-house dispensing team can provide guidance on lens maintenance, hygiene, and replacement schedules, helping to reduce the risk of irritation or infection.
Each fitting is designed to ensure lenses align precisely with your individual prescription and eye shape.
Call (02) 4683 1249 to make an appointment and speak with the team about your contact lens options.
Choosing the Right Lens Type
Choosing contact lenses involves several considerations beyond prescription correction. Soft lenses are commonly used for their comfort and flexibility, while rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses may be recommended in cases of astigmatism or keratoconus due to their form stability and clarity. Some patients may benefit from toric lenses for astigmatism or multifocal options to support vision at varying distances.
Daily disposable lenses are ideal for convenience and hygiene, while fortnightly or monthly lenses can offer cost-effective alternatives with proper care. It is essential to undergo a proper fitting to evaluate corneal health and lens compatibility before committing to a specific product. A follow-up consultation may be required to confirm ongoing suitability.
Discuss your visual requirements and daily routines with a qualified optometry team to determine which lens type is right for you. For more information or to book a fitting, contact us today.
What are the differences between daily and monthly contact lenses?
Daily contact lenses are designed to be worn once and then discarded, offering convenience and reduced risk of infection due to no cleaning requirement. They are ideal for occasional use or individuals with allergies or sensitivities. Monthly lenses, on the other hand, are reused for up to 30 days and require nightly cleaning and storage in a disinfecting solution. While they may offer long-term cost savings, they demand more routine care and maintenance. Both types correct the same range of vision conditions, and the choice often comes down to lifestyle, eye health, and personal preference.
Are contact lenses safe to wear every day?
Yes, contact lenses can be worn daily when fitted properly and used according to optometric guidance. It's important to follow cleaning and replacement schedules strictly to minimise the risk of eye infections, dryness, or irritation. Many lenses are designed specifically for daily wear, but overuse or sleeping in lenses not intended for extended wear can lead to complications. Regular check-ups are essential to monitor corneal health and ensure ongoing suitability. Individuals with dry eyes or other conditions may require specialised lenses or lubricating drops as part of their daily routine.
Can children or teenagers wear contact lenses?
Contact lenses can be suitable for children or teenagers, depending on their maturity and ability to follow hygiene protocols. Typically, children aged 10 and up may begin using contact lenses if they are responsible enough to handle cleaning and replacement properly. Contact lenses can benefit young people who are active in sports or feel self-conscious wearing glasses. An initial fitting, education session, and follow-up appointment are critical to ensure correct use and safety. Parents should be involved in monitoring use and encouraging regular optometry reviews.
