contact lens types

All types of contact lenses are available at Blink Opticians. Due to the level of personal service we provide our patients, all contact lens fittings require an appointment. Blink Opticians offer an annual aftercare appointment for just £15, or £25 for a joint eye exam and aftercare (eye exams are normally £17.50) Contact lens materials are changing all the time and Amanda is up-to-date on the latest developments.
