Why choose contact lenses?

Contact lenses give you clear vision without the weight or restriction of glasses. At our Barking practice, we fit and supply daily, monthly, toric and multifocal lenses tailored to your prescription and lifestyle. Every fitting includes assessment of eye health, lens suitability and clear aftercare guidance.

We help patients across Barking choose lenses that feel natural and suit their daily routine.

What happens at a contact lens fitting?

Your appointment begins with a review of your prescription and eye health. We assess your tear film and corneal shape to ensure lenses sit comfortably and safely. You will try trial lenses, and we will show you how to insert, remove and care for them confidently. A follow-up appointment ensures the lenses remain comfortable and suitable.

Types of Contact Lenses

We offer several contact lens options to match your comfort needs, vision requirements, and daily routine.

Daily disposable contact lenses

Fresh, clean lenses every day. Perfect for convenience, hygiene, sensitive eyes, and active lifestyles with no cleaning required.

Extended wear contact lenses

Some lenses are designed for longer wear, depending on your eye health and prescription. These offer flexibility if you prefer to avoid removing lenses every night.

Multifocal contact lenses

Designed for both near and distance vision, these lenses are ideal if you have presbyopia. They provide smooth vision at all ranges without needing reading glasses.

All lens types can be professionally fitted and supplied at our Barking practice.
