Hard & soft contact lenses

At Lobb Optical, we're not just about glasses – we're also experts in contact lenses! Dealing with various lens types, we're known for our patience and thoroughness.

Contact lenses offer a convenient alternative to glasses, providing greater freedom and flexibility for sports, work, and social activities. These thin lenses sit directly on the eye's surface, offering clear and natural-looking vision, and are available in a wide range of prescriptions to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia.

  • Types of contact lenses

    • Soft lenses: The most common type, made from flexible, water-absorbing material for comfort. Available in daily, weekly, and monthly disposable options.
    • Rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses: Made from rigid, oxygen-permeable material for sharper vision, durability, and resistance to bacteria and deposits.
  • Fitting & care

    A contact lens fitting measures the curvature and size of your eyes to determine the right type for you. We'll provide instructions on insertion, removal, and care, as proper maintenance is crucial for eye health and infection prevention. Always follow cleaning and storage instructions, and avoid wearing lenses longer than recommended. Trust Lobb Optical for expert advice and care in contact lenses.
