Contact lenses initial assessment

As long as you have a valid prescription that’s within the expiry date, you won’t need another eye test to get contact lenses. If, however, you have never worn contacts before, you will need an initial assessment.

The assessment will involve spending time with one of our expert opticians to ensure you have the correct contact lenses for your eyes and your lifestyle. We’ll also show you how to insert and remove your lenses, and how best to look after them.

To make sure the lenses we choose are the right ones for you, we’ll arrange a free trial, so you can get used to them and see how they feel. For the free trial we’ll give you either five pairs of daily disposable lenses or a pair of reusable contact lenses.
