Getting Started

Getting started with contact lenses is as easy as 1 2 3

  1. Your prescription

    You'll need a full eye test within the last 12 months. We will have a record if you had it with Conlons, otherwise please bring in a copy of your prescription. If you're due a test we'll happily conduct this free of charge prior to your free contact lens consultation. Once we know whether you are long or short sighted, if you have astigmatism, and whether you need an extra help for close work we'll advise you on your options.

  2. Your lifestyle

    Talk to us about your lifestyle. We will help you decide on the best lenses for your needs depending if you intend to wear your lenses every day, on regular days (e.g. only for work or sport) or just occasionally for special occasions. Its also useful to talk about how long you will want to wear the lenses on the days you do wear them as there are choices which are best for lenses worn for less than 12 hours, up to 16 hours, or if you will sleep in your contact lenses.

  3. Your choice

    Our contact lens experts will advise the best lens for your needs and we a have a choice of hundreds of lenses available in literally millions of different individual specifications. We have options for every budget, every lifestyle and every prescription these days so, unlike even a few years ago, virtually everyone is now suitable for contact lenses. We believe our Mirage Brand Contact Lenses offer the best quality for money plus we offer a full range of premium quality and budget contact lens options too.
