We want your glasses to last, to fit, to look good and work well for the life of your prescription. That’s value! True quality that lasts doesn’t come cheap, but at Hokitika Optometrist lower cost options are available that deliver great value. Your lifestyle, environment and work all affect how your spectacles will perform. So if they let you down – come and tell us, so that we can to put it right.
Contact Lenses
The short answer is Yes! Try it! We can arrange a trial of contacts for you.
Most people can wear contact lenses at least some of the time. We are more than happy to help you explore which contact lens modality works for you. Modern disposable contacts come in an ever increasing range for all prescription types. Some are designed to be used just once – “Daily” lenses; some can be re-used and need special care. We can fit contact lenses for myopia control too.
For a successful start with contact lenses.
We need to do a pre-fitting examination and talk through all the options, from One Day to Continuous Wear.
We give full training in handling and care, with follow-up checks to make sure nothing compromises the health of your eyes.
Trial lenses are usually free. So make an appointment!
If you wear contacts – have a check-up once a year.
Even if everything seems all right to you – many serious problems won’t affect your eyesight until they are well advanced. And there’s always the chance to catch up with new developments in lenses and care solutions. Is it more than a year since you last had a check-up? Call us today.
