| Kaya - Our Youngest Patient |
|
| Kaya was just 2 1/2 when we fitted him. Having a squint he needed one eye 'covered' but he just wouldn't wear glasses so Contacts proved the saving grace! Initially we chose monthly sleep ins but, when he found he was the centre of attraction if he rubbed them out, we decided on daily disposables for economic reasons. |

' I've been using contact lenses for almost ten years now, and can't imagine life without them! They're so comfortable, and I have no difficulty with dry eyes - a problem for TV presenters working under bright lights. I would thoroughly recommend this type of eye wear to everyone.'

| Dave Wilkinson - Mountain Climber |
|
Dave Wilkinson has been climbing mountains all over the world for over 30 years, with many first ascents to his name. Early on he wore glasses, but for the past 20 years he has used contact lenses fitted by Geoff Wilson's Contact Lens Practice.
"Glasses always cause problems in the mountains. Rain and snow stick to the lenses and obscure the view, and when you're on the move in fine weather, perspiration condenses, with the same effect. Sweaty skin causes irritation where they touch nose and ears, and the glasses sometimes slip and fall off.
Since I changed to lenses, I can just pop them in, forget about them for days, get on with my climbing"

| I didn't realise how badly my eyes had deteriorated until I couldn't see the hockey ball under floodlights. I started off wearing glasses but quickly realised that a hockey ball can travel at 100 mph and perhaps glasses weren't the safest option.
I was then prescribed contact lenses and have never looked back since, gaining 323 international appearances for England and Great Britain winning medals at Olympic, Commonwealth and European level.
It's amazing what you take for granted, I know if it hadn't have been for contact lenses I would have definitely struggled to compete at the highest level.
I would strongly recommend anyone that is thinking about wearing lenses to try them; it will change the way you live! |

Before I met Geoff Wilson 30 years ago I was unable to wear contact lenses. However over the years, I have appreciated the expertise and patience charismatic of Geoff Wilson which have allowed me to wear lenses on an ongoing basis both for distance and reading! Thank you Geoff.
A Miracle! After 46 years I now have contact lenses which for the very first time, I can wear for 24hours day after day after day. When first given the Pure Vision lens, i was hoping for perhaps 12-15hours of wear and i still find it unbelievable that in one step i have gone from a daily lens to monthly sleep in lenses. Thank you Geoff! |

I have been wearing contact lenses since the late seventies and although I have tried other Opticians, always end up going back to Geoff Wilson and his SPECIALISTS at The Contact Lens Practice. I am so used to wearing lenses now that I cannot even cope with any kind of specs, even sun glasses. My only problem is that sometimes I think that my eyesight has dramatically deteriorated overnight only to discover I’ve put the lenses in the wrong eyes!!!!

"What a revelation! I should have changed to this optician years ago! The whole process from optometrist Geoff Wilson, a genius at fitting suitable lenses from a huge range on offer and his capable staff that led me through a series of eye tests, was a thoroughly professional experience" More From Roger
