Modern contact lenses are more comfortable than ever before!

In McElholms we love to fit contact lenses. Edel is a keen contact lens wearer herself! Contact lenses bring freedom to spectacle wearers and we believe that, if suitable, everyone should try them at least once! Age is not a barrier, we have fitted children as young as 8 up to adults in their late 70s!

Contact lenses can be great to wear for a different look and are a major advantage for sports. While many children love to wear their spectacles, others don't, and they can gain great confidence from their new look!

We take great care in fitting the best contact lens for each individual patient's needs, and then we follow up with ensuring that our patients are confident with insertion and removal so that their contact lens wear is a great experience. We believe that success in contact lens wear comes from good follow up care, regular checks on eye health, and well delivered advice from your optometrist. 

Contact lenses are continually improving and there are new contact lenses coming to the market regularly - so if you have tried before and it didn't work for you - come and try again, the right lens might be here for you now!
