Good reasons to invest in contact lenses

There are moments in life when wearing a decent pair of glasses just won’t fit your circumstances. You don’t have to be a rugby player to realise that but outside pursuits of many types might lend themselves to considering contact lenses as an alternative.

Safety maybe one reason but also the weather can make life inconvenient as a spectacles wearer.

Try thinking about lenses. Modern designs mean they are very comfortable and they certainly won’t be getting in your way if you find yourself in the bottom of a scrum.

How to read your contact lens prescription

Confused about what the terms on your contact lens prescription mean?

Here’s a handy guide to understanding it and what each of the values on your prescription means. The three important measurements on your contact lenses are power, base curve and diameter. Occasionally, prescriptions will also include a cylinder, axis, add and sometimes colour.

Power

The power of your lens in measured in dioptres and this indicates the level of correction your lens must provide to correct and sharpen your vision. The correct power should normally give you 20/20 vision.

If your prescription shows a minus sign (-) this means that you are short-sighted and have myopia.

If your prescription shows a plus sign (+) this means that you are long-sighted and have hyperopia.

Base Curve

The base curve is measured to ensure the correct fit of a contact lens on the eye. It should relate to the curvature of your cornea and is measured in millimetres. A lower number indicates a steeper corneal curve.

Cylinder

You will see a cylinder value on your prescription if you have been prescribed toric lenses to correct astigmatism.Usually written in minus (-) form.

Axis

You will only have an axis on your prescription if you have astigmatism. The axis is measured in degrees. The axis is needed to compensate for the cornea’s non-spherical shape. The axis will indicate the orientation of the cylinder power and where it should sit.

Diameter

The diameter measures the width of your contact lenses from one edge to another and is measured in millimetres. Wearing a lens with the wrong diameter may result in irritation.

Add Power (+)

The add power is usually written in dioptres and written as a plus (+) power. It indicates the magnifying power in multifocal (other names include, bifocal or varifocal) contact lenses.
