Choose contact lenses
Being an independent practice allows us to offer a much wider range of contact lenses, ensuring that we select the lens that best suits your needs. We have the time and space to spend with you to help you feel comfortable with your new lenses to give you the best possible chance of success with them.
What happens in a contact lens appointment?
A contact lens appointment at McLeish Eyecare in East Lothian is designed to ensure your lenses are comfortable, effective, and perfectly suited to your needs. Whether you’re trying lenses for the first time or are an experienced wearer, our friendly and professional team is here to guide you every step of the way.
We begin with a detailed consultation to understand your lifestyle, preferences, and prescription requirements. This helps us recommend the best type of contact lenses for you, from daily disposables to multifocal lenses or specialist options for more complex prescriptions.
Next, we perform a thorough eye health check to ensure your eyes are in the best condition for contact lens wear. We'll take precise measurements of your eyes to ensure a perfect fit, making sure your lenses will feel natural and provide clear vision.
Trying contact lenses for the first time
For first-time wearers, we’ll teach you how to insert, remove, and care for your lenses, giving you the confidence to use them comfortably. Our team is patient and supportive, so you can take your time to get the hang of it.
Finally, we’ll provide you with trial lenses to test out in your daily life. We’ll arrange a follow-up appointment to check how you’re getting on and make any adjustments if needed.
Specialist contact lenses
We also offer night lenses, also known as orthokeratology (ortho-k) lenses, which you only wear at night. Perfect if you are sporty and can’t, or don’t want to, wear lenses by day, or just if you don’t like wearing lenses on a daily basis. They cleverly reshape the eye at night leaving you with perfect vision without lenses by day. Please ask your optician for further information.
