The average age people usually get contact lenses is 13, but it has been shown that some younger children are responsible enough to wear and maintain contact lenses. Successful lens wear depends more on responsibility and attitude than age. Speak with our team of Optometrists to determine if your child is a good candidate for contact lenses.

Ever heard of contact lenses melting over a barbeque? Don’t worry, this is fake news. The lens material can only decompose at temperatures much higher than the boiling point of water.

Not likely. Contact lenses can be easily removed using the method our Optometrists recommended. All it takes is practice and patience.

Not likely. With proper fitting, contact lenses should stay in place almost all the time. Even on that rare occasion when a contact lens moves out of place, it usually stays in your eye until you move it back.

Such contact lens-related problems can occur, but they’re unlikely. Most common eye health issues are caused by poorly fitted lenses, or by not taking care of the lenses like you should. If you do experience any unusual eye discomfort or changes in your vision, remove your lenses and give us a call immediately.

Contact lenses are medical devices, which is why you need a prescription. Only an Eye Care Professional can properly measure your need for vision correction as well as determine which size and type of contact lens is best for you. Plus, changes that can occur to your vision and eye health over time can only be detected with specialised equipment and procedures.

Yes. A prescription for contact lenses requires different information than a prescription for eyeglasses. Along with the level of vision correction, a contact lens prescription will include the base curve which is used to fit the curvature of the lens to your eye and the diameter which is used to fit the width of the lens to your eye. Schedule an eye exam with our team of Eye Care Professional to assess your eye health and current contact lens prescription.

Visit your nearest Capitol Optical store. As your first contact lens fitting takes a little longer than a regular eye exam, be sure to inform that you want a contact lens fitting. Find your nearest store>

Yes, contact lenses do expire, and it is strictly not advised to wear them after the expiration date. It is important to purchase your lenses from reputable and authorised practitioners; or simply visit any Capitol Optical store, to ensure your lenses are the freshest batch. You may refer to the 'use by' on the lens package, which indicates the date after which the lenses are not to be used.

For optimum clear vision, you should always stick to the power prescription provided by our team of Optometrists. Although your vision may seem stabilised as an adult, without proper eye care and consistent eye examinations, your power may change over time.

The base curve is the back curvature of a contact lens. It’s used to determine the curvature of the lens to your eye to provide the best fit and comfort. The lower the number, the steeper the curve of the lens.

Diameter is the distance across the surface of your lens, from edge to edge. Our team of Optometrists will determine the correct diameter for you during your exam.

Advances in technology make contact lenses convenient and easy to use. Maintaining and caring for your reusable bi-weekly lenses is easy with multipurpose lens solutions that make cleaning, disinfecting and storing contact lenses simple and convenient. For the most convenient way to wear contact lenses, consider daily contact lenses. Just wear them for the day, then throw them away.

Of course. You can wear both contact lenses and glasses, alternating for specific activities, needs, or preference. However, contact lenses can be used full-time. The choice is up to you and what our Optometrists have recommended.

Sure can do. Contact lenses offer clear vision and you won’t have to worry about them fogging up, falling off or breaking during a game like glasses can. Plus, you won’t experience a loss of peripheral vision like you can with glasses.

Contact lens-related health problems can occur, but they’re rare. Infections are most commonly related to poor cleaning routines or other lens care-related issues. If you follow our Optometrists' directions for proper wear and care, you should be fine. For a more hygienic and hassle-free option, you may like to consider daily contact lenses.

It’s important to find beauty lenses that do not compromise on health and safety. One of the most common problems is that many coloured contact lenses leave your eyeballs in direct contact with its pigments. With friction, these pigments may rub off onto your eyes, causing irritation and other eye health complications. Speak to our Optometrists to find out what options best suit you and your lifestyle.

Daily Disposable contact lenses are used for one day, then thrown away. They typically don’t involve the use of lens solutions and contact lens cases. You may want to consider daily lenses for travelling or if you simply want a more hygienic and hassle-free option.

Bi-weekly Reusable lenses are reused for two weeks and require cleaning and disinfection every day. Some lenses are approved for even longer wearing periods. However, a shorter wear cycle and more frequent use of fresh lenses, is more comfortable.

They’re the same thing. Toric lenses specifically correct for astigmatism.

In general, bifocal contact lenses are designed with only two zones of vision (near and far) in the same lens. Multifocal contact lenses are designed with more than two zones of vision (near, far and in-between) in each lens.

Hydrogel is a soft, water-holding polymer plastic used to make contact lenses.

A silicone hydrogel is the newest generation of soft contact lenses.

Dk, or oxygen permeability, is the rate that oxygen can flow through a contact lens material. Dk/t or oxygen transmissibility, determines how much oxygen gets through a lens of a particular thickness.

Contact lenses are safe to wear, always follow our Optometrists' instructions in wear and care of your lenses.

Yes. Astigmatism is no longer a barrier to wearing contact lenses. Astigmatism lenses offer people with astigmatism exceptional fit, comfort and visual clarity.

Maybe. Our Optometrists can tell for certain. If our Optometrists feels that contact lenses are still an option, we believe that we will be able to recommend a suitable lens.

This depends on the recommendation of your Eye Care Professional. LASIK surgery permanently alters the shape of your eye, but doesn’t prevent the development of presbyopia, so you’ll still need vision correction at some point.

If our Optometrists feels that contact lenses are still an option, we believe that we will be able to recommend a suitable lens! Some have considered coloured lenses with no power to enhance their natural eye beauty.

Airborne allergens such as pollen can build up on your lenses, causing discomfort. To help improve comfort, consider Daily Disposables contact lenses.

Generally, no. Unless our optometrists have instructed you otherwise, you can safely wear your lenses every day.
