Contact Lenses
The Optical Centre stocks a comprehensive range of disposable contact lenses and contact lens solutions. Together with Allan Kaye, a certified UK contact lens specialist, we are capable of fitting the latest technology contact lenses for patients suffering from corneal anomalies such as high astigmatism and keratoconus.
The Optical Centre offers OrthoKeratology, a non-surgical alternative to refractive surgery. It is a process of reshaping the cornea of the eye using special reverse geometry contact lenses, worn at night. The reduction in shortsightedness can take a few hours to a few months depending on the prescription.
We also fit the most recent disposable multifocal contact lenses for mature patients requiring a reading addition.

Spectacle Lenses
Through the use of special high refractive index and aspheric lenses, we are able to provide ultra thin and light weight lenses even in very high prescriptions.
Special design multifocal lenses allow us to provide you with crystal clear and comfortable vision at any distance, even in modern smaller frames.
We employ the latest coating technology to enhance your night driving and computer work through the highest quality, multi-layer anti-reflective coatings.
Superior Transitions light sensitive lenses will provide you with the optimum amount of light under any lighting condition. Polarised lenses are available as well as new Drivewear lenses which are capable of sensing and reacting to varying light conditions both outside and behind the windshield of the car. We also provide permanent (fixed) or gradient tints in virtually any color and intensity.
As a standard, all our lenses are treated with a UV400 coating as well as a scratch resistant quartz hard coating and our in-practice workshop ensures that your spectacles will be ready in the shortest time possible. Back to top
