At Haine & Smith, we offer a wide range of contact lens options for different prescriptions, lifestyles and ages — including lenses for children and myopia management options designed to help slow the progression of short-sightedness.
As an independent optician, we are able to recommend lenses from a wide range of suppliers to help find the most suitable option for your eyes and lifestyle.
Why Choose Contact Lenses?
Freedom for an active lifestyle
Contact lenses are ideal for sport, exercise and everyday activities, without the worry of glasses slipping, fogging up or getting in the way.
Natural vision
Because contact lenses move with your eyes, they provide a natural field of vision without frames blocking your peripheral view.
Flexible wear options
Whether you want to wear lenses every day, occasionally, for holidays or just for sport, there are options to suit your routine.
Suitable for many prescriptions
Modern contact lenses are available for short-sightedness, long-sightedness, astigmatism and multifocal vision correction.
