Whether you’re considering switching from glasses or exploring a more convenient vision correction option, contact lenses can offer comfort, flexibility, and freedom. At iVision Opticians, we help customers across Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire find the right lenses for their lifestyle and vision needs — with expert fitting, personalised advice, and dedicated aftercare.

How to Care for Your Contact Lenses
Proper lens care is essential for maintaining eye health and getting the best from your lenses. Here’s what our opticians recommend across all iVision locations:
Do:
- Wash and dry hands thoroughly before handling lenses
- Clean lenses using the solution provided (if not daily disposables)
- Stick to the wear schedule advised by your optician
- Replace lens cases every 1–3 months
Don’t:
- Sleep in lenses unless specifically prescribed
- Reuse old cleaning solution
- Rinse lenses with tap water
- Wear lenses beyond their expiry
Improper care is one of the leading causes of eye infections. That’s why our team offers full support and advice for safe lens wear.
