Can anyone wear contact lenses? |
Most people can. We will assess your suitability with some simple tests. Contact lenses can be used to correct all types of vision including astigmatism, long & short sight, and even presbyopia. Occasionally, patients may have dry eyes or require the type of vision correction that makes contact lens wear unsuitable.
