At Kidner Optician we offer a wide range of contact lenses to meet your lifestyle requirements.
Contact lenses offer a sense of freedom and convenience that many people don’t get from glasses. We work hard for our patients to ensure that each one gets to enjoy their contact lens experience. Lens and fitting technology is always developing and we stay up-to-date to ensure that we can provide contact lenses for even the most complex cases.
All of our contact lens assessments are carried out by an expert optometrist with experience in fitting lenses for all different eye types and prescriptions. Your assessment will include a series of eye tests and measurements to tell us everything we need to know to fit you with lenses that are right for you. You can also tell your optometrist any relevant information about how you want to use contact lenses – this will help them to make a recommendation that suits your lifestyle.
Book an AppointmentAs an independent practice, we choose to stock a wide range of contact lens types so all of our clients can enjoy them safely and comfortably. We’ll recommend you a specific type of contact lens based on your prescription, eye type and lifestyle. Even if you have previously been told you can’t use contact lenses, there’s a very good chance we’ll be able to find a type that works for you.

Having your eyes retested allows us to make sure you keep getting the best vision possible from your lenses. We can also offer advice on how to keep your eyes healthy and let you know about any new lens technology that might be beneficial to you.

I never got my eyes tested at Kidner Opticians, can I still get Contact Lenses from you?
Absolutely, as long as your prescription is in date (i.e. Your last eye exam was within the past 2 years). Please call the practice and ask our team to make you a Contact Lens Fitting Appointment. This appointment will last between 20-40 minutes and we will use your eye test prescription to fit lenses that correct your vision and meet your lifestyle requirements. This may take multiple appointments, depending on the lenses that we need to fit. Once you are happy, we will sign you off and you can join our Contact Lens Care Plan, or order lenses as and when you require them.
How often do I need to get my Contact Lenses checked?
We usually recommend an annual contact lens aftercare. This allows our Optometrists to check annually the fit of the lens and to ensure that proper and safe wearing patterns are being adhered to. If you are on our Contact Lens Care Plan there is no charge for this service. If not, then this appointment costs £40 and usually lasts 20 minutes.
Do you send Contact Lenses directly to my home?
Yes, we send all of our Contact Lenses directly to your chosen address and this is included within the price quoted, be it Direct Debit or Pay As You Wear.
I’ve tried Contact Lenses and I didn’t get on with them. Is it worthwhile trying again?
Contact Lenses have advanced considerably in the past few years – including the material used and the types of lenses available on the market. We offer free trials and therefore there is nothing to lose by booking an appointment. Please call the practice and we will be delighted to look after you.
