Aftercare and Services

Whether you've opted for contact lenses or spectacles, aftercare is vital to the short- and long-term health of your eyes. Simply visiting the opticians once a year isn't enough when it comes to protecting your sight for the future.

Aftercare

Regular aftercare is vital following your first contact lens fitting appointment. When making the transition from spectacles to contact lenses, there is often an adjustment period for the individual. When supplied with bespoke contact lenses at Mincher-Lockett Opticians, we provide free advice on applying the lenses on a daily basis. Before you leave the practice, our team will make sure that you're equipped with all of the knowledge available to you.

Why is Contact Lens Aftercare So Important?

There are a few reasons why contact lens aftercare is so important:

Ensuring that the contact lens does truly benefit and improve your sight
That they fit as well now as when first supplied
That they continue to feel comfortable throughout the duration of their wear
Eye sight has the ability to change constantly. Incorrect fitting contact lenses may not give you the optical excellence that you had hoped for.
