Can my kid try contact lenses?

There is no age limit to when a child can wear contact lenses. The most important factor is whether your child is mature enough to handle the responsibility of lens care, including proper washing and cleaning. Your optician will discuss the requirements with you and your child.

Benefits of wearing contact lenses:
• Excellent vision correction, a wider more natural field of vision.
• Convenience - contact lenses won't get fogged up, lost, damaged.
• Great for playing sports, hobbies, and daily activities.
• Increased self-esteem and confidence - studies have shown that wearing contact lenses can improve quality of life of children.

If your child is interested in trying contact lenses, speak to us.

We have all seen the pictures of self-care with the hair wrapped in a towel and cucumbers on your eyes, but does putting cucumber on your eyes really work?

Turns out, this old-school treatment has some benefits:
• The cooling effect of cucumbers, straight out of the fridge can reduce swelling and puffiness while stimulating blood flow.
• Cucumbers are high in water content, making them very hydrating to the skin, if they sit on the skin for a few minutes.
• Cucumbers are also rich in vitamin C and K which can provide a brightening effect and help minimise dark circles.
If you have no cucumbers, a cold compress or cold teabags can also help.

Getting your child to wear glasses can be challenging. So, make it fun, involve them when choosing the frames and making sure they are comfortable will help.

• Give them ownership, let them choose the style, their favourite colour and whether they have their favourite character on them, will help the buy into it and make them feel proud.
• Create a magic story or superpower, which helps them see amazing things they could not before.
• Involve toys – put glasses on their favourite toys or stuffed animals during playtime to help normalise the experience.
• Start slowly, create a routine, find a role model who wears glasses.
• Make sure they fit properly; our dispensing opticians will be happy to help with adjustments.
