Contact Lenses are worn for various reasons. Whether you prefer your look without glasses or are more comfortable playing sports without specs getting in the way, the majority of spectacle-wearers will have found themselves going for contact lenses at one point or another. Truth is, contact lenses have come a long way and even if you have tried contact lenses in the past and didn’t get on with it, try again!
The high moisture content in lenses such as Acuvue Moist and new materials that let air in, make wearing contact lenses a lot more comfortable. More recently manufacturers have brought multi focal and bifocal contact lenses to the market. If you are not sure which lenses are right for you, come and see us in store for a contact lens fitting.

Contact lenses have come a long way and at Gavzey Opticians in North West London, we pride ourselves at being expert contact lens fitters with patients travelling vast distances to come and see us.
With new cutting edge technologies, contact lenses are constantly evolving and we find more and more people are able to wear them comfortably. Those patients with very dry or sensitive eyes have struggled for years to find a suitable lens and many had resigned themselves to wearing glasses. Some turned to laser eye surgery, but for many, this is not something they would consider.
That’s where CRT comes in. CRT is part of the Orthokeratology (also known as Ortho K) lens family. You fit a special contact lens in your eye every night and it corrects your vision while you sleep. In the morning you remove them and enjoy perfect vision, thus avoiding the dry, gritty feeling in your eyes. Sounds like a miracle? See what some of our patients have to say about it.
Whatever your need, we are here to help you achieve excellent vison and comfort. We are official suppliers of Mark Ennovy contact lenses, the first custom made contact lenses, as well as the brand new Alcon Dailies Total 1, the most comfortable contact lens on the market.
Contact Lens Brands
There are many brands of contact lenses on the market and the choice can be confusing. Johnson & Johnson’s Acuvue range is a market leader and the preferred choice for many. However, there are lesser known companies who offer excellent products at excellent prices.
Whatever your needs and budget, we are determined to help you find the right choice. Call us on 020 8731 9999 to arrange a contact lens fitting or if you wish to order a contact lens not featured on our website.
