The truth is, there are far more options than you think, each with small adaptations that could make a life-changing difference. We'll take time to walk you through the benefits of each of our lenses, so you can choose what's right for you and your lifestyle.

Contact Lenses

As an independent optician, we can help you take advantage of the latest innovations with the widest possible range of contact lens types and brands. There have been so many developments in the last few years, so contact lenses are now an option for the vast majority of our customers.

Options for everyone
Even if you've found lenses uncomfortable in the past or have been told you're not a suitable candidate, then you might want to reconsider. With the latest technology, conditions such as dry eye syndrome, which many contact lens wearers used to complain about, are rarely a problem.

We'll support your choice
Single-use lenses, non-disposable options, gas permeable or toric contact lenses - the options are endless, and often overwhelming. But you don't need to worry. Following an eye examination, your optometrist or dispensing optician will take time to walk you through your options and build a plan that is tailored to your individual needs and personal choice.

Creating the right lens for you

Your eyes are unique - so your lenses should be too.

Correct support for you
One eye consists of more than two million working parts, so there is a lot that needs to be taken into consideration when choosing lenses. During a thorough eye examination, we'll put together a complete, bespoke prescription outlining exactly what you need. But that's just one part of the process - your lenses also need to suit your lifestyle. So together with our optometrist, you can explore your options. 


Complete protection
Your eye is the most responsive muscle in your body, but exposure to harmful UV and blue-violet light can be dangerous. We can help you go beyond simply correcting your vision to help you protect the health of your eyes in the longterm. There are more options than ever and we can explore what's right for you. 

Enhanced clarity
Your eyes process 24 million images in a lifetime and we want each one to be crystal clear. Our lenses use the latest Essilor technology to ensure you get picture-perfect clarity with resistance to smudges and scratches built-in. They'll also shield you from reflections - so you won't get distracting glares.

HANNAH LEES - APRIL 2024
"The whole team were fantastic, very thorough, professional and friendly."

The whole team were fantastic, very thorough, professional and friendly. I had put off getting new glasses for far too long as I always feel overwhelmed by the choice. Claire was so helpful and patient, she spent a long time helping me choose different styles to try and giving me advice on what suited me best. At no point did I feel rushed or under pressure to purchase and I’m so happy with my new glasses. I would absolutely recommend CG Optical.
CAROLYN QUICK - APRIL 2024
"Amazing service as always!"

Everyone was so helpful today when I went in with my broken glasses. My frames had to be sent away for repair. Fortunately they had the same frame in a different colour, put my lenses in those and I can borrow them till mine come back. Amazing service as always!
FIONA - MARCH 2024
"....the dry eye treatment has been great".

Recently went to CG for eye test and to choose some new glasses. Warm and friendly welcome from Claire, Jo and Becky. Good choice of frames and the dry eye treatment has been great.
