Don't use Contact Lenses, but would like to?

You need to visit your local optometrist or optician, who will measure your eyes, supply you with a prescription and your first pair of contact lenses and teach you how to fit and care for the lenses. This also applies if you want plano (non corrective) lenses, such as tinted lenses.

You can then save on replacement lenses by ordering through Contact Lenses Direct. Keep the packages that the lenses came in, or ask for a written copy of your lens prescription. These details are required with the order.

Note that we offer a replacement lens service, we do not advise on the suitability of different lenses as all lens fitting requires aftercare visits to check on the fit and to ensure that you don't harm your eyes. We recommend an annual eye check at your optometrist for all lens wearers.

Latest Contact Lens News

Silicone Hydrogel Contact Lenses

Silicone Hydrogel contact lenses are the newest lens materials now on the market. These super-permeable materials allow the transmission of unprecedented amounts of oxygen to the cornea. Previous lens wearers have found these lenses more comfortable and wearable than their previous versions. Silicone Hydrogel has made contact lenses available to people that could not comfortably wear contact lenses in the past.

Because the silicone allows so much more oxygen to pass through the lens, these lenses breathe up to seven times more oxygen than previous contact lenses.

    The current brands of silicone hydrogel lenses available are:
  • Ciba Focus Night & Day which is approved for 30 day continuous wear. (The biggest seller at www.lensesnz.com).
  • Vistakon’s Acuvue Oasys which is approved for 2 week daily wear use or 6 night extended wear and is designed to be more moist than the others and is therefore beneficial for people who have dry eyes.
  • Ciba’s O2 Optix which is approved for 6 days continuous wear or 2 weeks daily wear.
  • Bausch & Lomb’s PureVision which is approved for 30 days continuous wear.
  • Vistakon Acuvue Advance is a 2 week disposable.
  • Bausch & Lomb PureVision Toric is a silicone hydrogel toric lens approved for 30 days extended wear use.
  • Acuvue Advance For Astigmatism – currently approved as a 2 week daily wear lens.

If you would like to try different types of lenses, ask your optometrist for a trial fit at your next eye checkup. Note: with these continuous wear lenses it is important to remove them as instructed by your optometrist or if your eyes become red or irritated. Swimming and smoking are risk factors. Also note that wearing a contact lens overnight gives a 20-times higher risk of a serious eye infection compared with wearing contact lenses during the day and removing and cleaning them at night.
