Nocturnal Lenses

Nocturnal Lenses are the safe alternative to laser treatment. It is a non surgical process which uses reverse geometry contact lenses, to actively reshape the cornea of the eye whilst you sleep. This process means that you will no longer require spectacles or contact lenses during the day.

To start the process, one of our qualified optometrists uses a corneal topographer to map the exact contours of the eye. We then use this data along with the latest precision technology to produce individually tailored nocturnal lenses which are customised to suit your exact needs. 

Once again, nocturnal lenses produce the required result overnight. Which means you should be able to see clearly without the blind spots caused by frame limitations, or problems with dryness, wind, hay fever or dust often associated with contact lenses. 

Nocturnal lenses offer huge benefits to people in specific areas of employment where spectacles or contact lenses can be an inconvenience. Therefore, they provide a way to allow you access to enjoy a modern, active lifestyle.

Work, play and live life... enjoy the new found freedom nocturnal lenses can provide!

Fittings

Four initial appointments are required to ensure the quality of your vision, and the health of your eyes, after which a regular checkup is scheduled at similar intervals to those for normal contact lens users.

Appointment 1 - the optician checks for suitability then accurately measures the contours of the eye. This data is then used to precision engineer lenses for the individual user

Appointment 2 - Lenses are collected and fitted, and a further appointment is made for the following morning.
 

Appointment 3 - The eye and lenses are checked using the corneal topographer
 

Appointment 4 - A week later, the user is given a further check up to ensure they are totally satisfied with the treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are the lenses painful?

A: Absolutely not. Nocturnal lenses are specifically designed for the shape of your eye and you are not aware of them as you sleep.

Q: Can I see if I get up in the night?

A: Your vision with Nocturnals is great whether you are wearing them or not.

Q: What happens if it doesn't work for me?

A: Another benefit of Nocturnals is that the procedure is totally reversible. If you don't like them, you simply stop wearing them and your eyes will return to normal.

Q: What happens if I forget to wear the lenses one night?

A: If you miss one night, you will still be able to see the following day. In fact, some users find they only need to wear them every second or third night
