Wearing the right contact lenses for you involves consulting Ezekiel Eyes, who will provide you with a full eye care examination. This will include your suitability for contact lens wear, type of lens to be worn, lens cleaning procedure and follow up care.
There are many types of contact lenses available from Ezekiel Eyes. Some are listed below and we are continually researching new materials and designs to best serve our patients.
Contact lenses are made from many different types of plastic but essentially are divided into two main groups – soft contact lenses or rigid gas permeable contact lenses.
Soft Contact Lenses are made of plastic polymer and non-silicone hydrogel materials, which allow the passage of oxygen to the eye. The soft contact lenses need to be replaced every 15 to 18 months. 
Rigid gas permeable contact lenses allow more oxygen to the eye than soft contact lenses and provide better and sharper vision than soft contact lenses and only need to be replaced every two years.
The combination of a high oxygen rigid gas permeable contact lens with the all-day comfort and convenience of a soft contact lens.
The Scleral contact lens may be able to be used in cases where normal contacts cause discomfort due to an irregular shaped corneal surface.
With monovision, one eye is focused for distance vision, and the other is focused for near vision.
Paediatric Aphakia is a condition in which a child has no crystalline lens in his or her eye. Contact lens are used to restore vision.
The X-Chrome contact lens is used to overcome red-green colour vision deficiencies.
Cleaning your contact lenses is very important as dirty contacts can result in infections to your eyes.
Contact Lens Dos and Don'ts: Those with contacts should take note.
Another feature of contact lenses is the ultraviolet (UV) light blocking. Because there is a link to the development of cataracts this has become an important issue.
The contact lens adds a small degree of protection against transmission of harmful UV radiation to the cornea and into the eye. Contact lenses do not replace sunglasses because they only cover the cornea and not the entire eye. Hence they work better as a complement to sunglasses and are extra protection against UV.
