“I didn’t realise that I could wear contact lenses with my type of prescription, I enjoyed doing the Lifestyle Quiz, and I’ve booked some time to meet with Melissa to discuss my options”

Contact Lens Optometrist serving the Kew East community since 2002
Hi, I’m Melissa. I work with patients of all backgrounds and I find that contact lenses can add an extra level of lifestyle flexibility when it comes to seeing clearly every day. These days, people are multi-tasking more than ever which can be a challenge to stay focused, and most importantly comfortable. I’d like to help more families in the Kew East area experience how contact lenses can provide an extra lifestyle benefit that they may not have had access to previously because of the latest advances in technology.

Are contact lenses comfortable to wear?
Yes, modern contact lenses are designed to be very comfortable, and most people adjust quickly. In fact, many patients are surprised at how natural they feel after just a short time wearing them. Soft lenses in particular are made to allow oxygen through to the eye, which helps maintain comfort throughout the day.
Is it hard to put contact lenses in and take them out?
Not at all. We guide you step-by-step during your fitting and give you as much time as you need to feel confident. Most people pick it up quicker than they expect, even if they were nervous at the start.
Can I try contact lenses before committing?
Yes, this is one of the most important parts of the process. You’ll be able to try lenses in practice so you can experience the comfort and clarity before making any decisions. This removes the guesswork and helps you feel confident getting started.
Can I wear contact lenses if I have astigmatism or need reading help?
In most cases, yes. There are specialised lenses available for astigmatism and multifocal lenses for both near and distance vision. We select the right option based on your eyes and your lifestyle.
How long can I wear contact lenses each day?
This depends on the type of lenses and your eyes, but many people comfortably wear them for most of the day. We’ll recommend a wearing schedule that suits you and keeps your eyes healthy.
Are contact lenses safe for my eyes?
Yes, when fitted properly and worn as advised, contact lenses are a safe and effective way to correct vision. Good hygiene and following simple care guidelines are important to keep your eyes healthy and comfortable long-term.
