Contact Lenses
As a local, independent group of opticians DW Roberts are free to recommend lenses from all suppliers enabling us to find the most suitable lens for you.
Millions of people around the world enjoy the freedom of wearing contact lenses. They are an ideal option for those who lead an active lifestyle or for those who do not like the idea of wearing glasses all the time.
Free Contact Lens Trial
We can offer you the chance to have an initial contact lens trial, free of charge, you must, however, have had a sight test within the last 6 months before we can go ahead. If you and your optician are happy to continue after your free trial we will make an appointment for insertion and removal training. There is a fee for this appointment.
Contact Lens Aftercare
You should have regular contact lens aftercare appointments and sight tests to check the health of your eyes and to ensure that you have the best experience with your lenses.
When you attend an aftercare appointment you should be wearing your contact lenses and should have done so for at least two hours. The optician will check the health of the front of your eyes, make sure that you are cleaning and disinfecting or discarding your lenses correctly and check your contact lens prescription to ensure that your current lenses are still the best lenses for you.
Contact Care Plan
At DW Roberts we run a Contact Care Plan which you can join. You pay a set monthly amount and receive your supply of contact lenses and solutions at regular intervals. This plan also includes the cost of all necessary aftercare appointments and a discount towards glasses. NB: Your contact lens aftercare and full sight test must be current and up to date to enable continuity of supply of your lenses and solutions (This is a legal requirement).
