Contact Lenses

Contact Lenses

Modern advances in contact lenses have now made it possible for virtually everyone to wear contact lenses safely. 99% of new contact lenses fitted are soft lenses. These range from daily disposable to two weekly and monthly disposable lenses. Soft contact lenses are made from soft polymers which cushion on the eye.

Contact lenses vary in terms of the amount of oxygen they let through, and in terms of comfort due to moisture retention in the lens. The latest lenses allow the maximum amount of oxygen through to the eye, almost 100%. That’s almost the same amount of oxygen as if you are NOT wearing ANY lens!

Recent advances have also made it possible to introduce moisterises into the lens itself. This results in the feeling of not wearing any lenses at all!

Glasses

Glasses

Choosing the right pair of glasses isn’t just about the frame and how it looks on your face. Selection starts with your prescription, which guides your choice of lenses and the frame styles best suited to your lens types. Ultimately, your prescription will help you narrow down the options for you. Then of course, it’s about finding the right pair of glasses to match your style and your budget.

Most prescriptions are compatible with all frames, but complex or high index prescriptions can sometimes limit your style choice. This is why we provide you with expert advice to match your prescription, face shape and frame. This means you’ll leave with the perfect pair of glasses for you.

Eye Tests

Eye Tests

At Oakes Opticians in Huddersfield, our friendly, fully qualified optometrists will conduct a thorough eye examination to establish the standard of your eyesight and the overall health of your eyes. We’ll look for any early signs of cataracts,glaucoma and other conditions. Problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure and vascular disease can also be detected, as the eye can give clues to general health as well as eye conditions.

The optometrist will advise you if any vision correction will be needed, or whether a new prescription is required. You will be given a lens prescription, if necessary a written report, and advised when your next eye examination will be due. If signs of any condition or general health problem are detected, we may carry out additional eye tests which may lead to a referral to your doctor or an ophthalmologist for further investigation.

If you have never had an eye test before then don’t worry! The process is very simple and will last about 30 minutes. Your eye test will include some or all of the following checks:
