A Contact Lens For Nearly Every Eye

Almost always, yes. Toric contact lenses correct astigmatism, multifocal designs correct near and distance vision in one lens, and custom Mark'ennovy lenses are made to measure for prescriptions or corneal shapes standard ranges don't cover. See Lenses For Astigmatism, Multifocal Contact Lenses and Mark'ennovy Lenses for the detail on each.

Yes, and for many children with progressing short-sightedness, a contact lens is actually the treatment we recommend. Daily disposable designs such as MiSight 1 Day, MyDay MiSight 1 Day and ACUVUE Abiliti 1-Day correct vision and slow myopia progression at the same time, and children as young as eight are commonly fitted successfully under our supervision. See Myopia Management Contact Lenses.

Everyday contact lenses are worn during waking hours and removed before bed. OrthoK works the opposite way: custom rigid lenses are worn overnight while you sleep, gently and temporarily reshaping the cornea, then removed each morning. Vision stays clear all day with nothing worn at all, which is why families juggling sport, swimming or screen time so often choose it. See What Is OrthoK?

Often, yes, with the right lens design. Water-gradient and moisture-focused daily lenses such as Dailies Total1 and ACUVUE Oasys Max 1-Day are built specifically for eyes that dry out by the end of the day, and where soft lenses still aren't comfortable, OrthoK or scleral lenses avoid the issue altogether by not sitting directly on a dry ocular surface during the day. See Contact Lenses For Dry Eyes.

Standard soft lenses often can't correct an irregular corneal surface properly, but rigid, hybrid and scleral lens designs can. We fit custom RGP lenses, SynergEyes hybrid lenses with a rigid centre and soft outer skirt, and scleral lenses that vault entirely over the cornea. See Hard Contact Lenses, SynergEyes Hybrid Lenses and Scleral Lenses.

It depends on the lens design and replacement schedule: daily disposables, fortnightly or monthly lenses, toric, multifocal and custom lenses are all priced differently. We'll give you an exact figure once we know your prescription and preferred wearing schedule at your assessment. General guidance is on our Fees & Charges page.

Yes. Certain daily disposable lens designs are built to correct vision and slow the rate short-sightedness progresses, backed by good clinical evidence. It's one of several myopia control options we discuss alongside OrthoK and myopia control glasses, and the right choice depends on your child's age, prescription and lifestyle. See Myopia Management Contact Lenses and Slowing Down Myopia.

Yes. OrthoK has decades of published evidence behind it and is fitted and monitored closely, with regular reviews to check the cornea is responding as expected. It's a well-established treatment, and one we have particular experience fitting. See our OrthoK FAQ for more.

That's exactly what a contact lens assessment is for. We look at your prescription, eye health, tear film, lifestyle and what you'd rather deal with day-to-day or not at all, then talk you through the designs that genuinely suit, rather than the one lens we happen to stock. Book a contact lens assessment online and we'll work through it together.

We fit contact lenses at our Kew East practice, serving families across Melbourne's inner east including Hawthorn, Camberwell, Balwyn, Box Hill and the surrounding suburbs. A good number of our patients travel from further afield specifically for fittings other practices have found too complex, including high astigmatism, keratoconus, scleral lenses and myopia management for children. See our Contact Us page for exact directions, or book a contact lens assessment online to get started.
