contact lenses
sick of wearing glasses?.......brunswick optical may have the answer....we use specialty contact lenses..
* daily
* 2 weekly
* monthly
* toric for astigmatism
* extended wear
* kerataconic
* orthokeratology
* conventional
* rigid gas permeable
* mini / scleral contact lenses
* multifocal or bifocal
* cosmetic
* tinted
* contact lens care
contact lenses are broadly contained within 2 groups comprising soft flexible contacts and the other of more rigid gas permeable lenses.
soft contact lenses these are the most popular mode of lens as they comprise different amounts of water which allow more oxygen to enter the eye i.e. breathe more. they are
* easy to wear and get used to
* comfortable over longer periods
* flexible wearing times
* wearer can alter eye colour
hard contact lenses are more inflexible, but sometimes are necessary because of the eye's particular condition. they can
* last longer (need less replacement)
* more stable for astigmatism
* correct vision for keratoconus, after corneal graft surgery, irregular corneas
* take longer to adapt to
* can cost less over time
* more dependent upon solutions
soft contacts are by far the most popular contact lens for wearers. they offer a wide range of fit with flexibility, comfort and less dependence on cleaning solutions. this type of lens, by frequently replacing the lens is designed to overcome the problems associated with long time exposure to harsh cleaning products. your eye care needs will dictate which lens suits your eye the best.
our optometrist will discuss these needs with you, then fit you with either a daily, 2 weekly or monthly disposable contact lens.
the very latest in design means this material will breathe on the eye, even when you are asleep.
no more coming home late and fumbling around in the dark trying to get your lenses in a case!
up to 30 days continuous wear is possible with these lenses. although not suitable for some, they are now proving very popular with the over 40’s who want a break from their glasses.
contact lenses can even alter the way your eyes look to others, by changing your eye colour.
this can be achieved by any of 3 means:
1. handling tints
these are simply a light tint to enable the wearer to see them when they drop the lens. This is purely for handling and does not alter the eye colour.
2. enhancing tints
tints are transparent, but add colour to the underlying iris to make the eye more blue, brown, green or whatever.
3. cosmetic tints
these tints enable the wearer to have virtually any colour eye they desire.
the colour of the underlying iris is completely blocked out, with the contact superimposing the desired colour on top. various shapes, colours and logos can all be used (these are like the ones used in the movies for dramatic effect).

behavoural optometry
children are not little adults as far as the testing parameters go for evaluation of visual function - we need to adapt and modify our testing protocol to meet the needs of the child. our optometrist will perform appropriate comprehensive vision evaluation that includes assessment of:
* visual pathway integrity including eye health, visual acuity and refractive status (for example, long-sightedness, astigmatism).
* visual efficiency including accommodation (focussing), binocular vision (eye alignment and teaming).
* visual information processing including visual spatial skills (right/left discrimination), visual analysis skills (matching and discrimination skills), visual motor skills (required for drawing and handwriting), eye movement control skills and visual imagery skills.
