Contact lenses

contactlensesWe have three practitioners (Dennis Rumble, Peter Rockett, and Edward Lyons) who fit contact lenses from the traditional Rigid Gas Permeable lenses to Daily Disposables and the most advanced fortnightly Silicone Hydrogel (SiH) and monthly lenses.

Bifocal, Varifocal and even tailor-made bespoke designs are available, as are cosmetic lenses, overnight lenses, and sports-specific tinted contact lenses.

We can also fit those with Astigmatism and have a practitioner (Mr Peter Rockett) who specializes in the fitting of lenses for Keratoconus.

Our contact lens philosophy

Flint and Partners were one of the first practices in Wolverhampton to fit contact lenses, and today our approach to lenses and eye care remains the same - to offer the widest possible range of lenses at competitive prices;for all contact lens work to be performed by the optometrist; for eye health to be paramount; and to offer our usual individualised service.

How does it work?

We have three optometrists who fit and supply lenses at our main 3 practices. All types of lenses are available, from daily disposable to the more traditional gas permeable lenses and the latest silicon hydrogel lenses. Some of the more specialised lenses we fit include soft or gas permeable multifocals, toric lenses for astigmatism, coloured lenses, tinted lenses for sport, special lenses for keratoconus.

As an Acuvue Centre of Excellence, we get first access to the latest developments in lens technology before generally available on the high street.

The initial trial for contact lens suitability is free of charge - not everyone is suitable for contact lenses but with the expertise and advanced materials which we are able to offer, most people are.

Fitting fees apply thereafter depending on the type and design of lenses required to suit your individual needs and specifications.

Once fitted with your lenses, we recommend you join our Contact Lens Plan: For your convenience, payments are made monthly by DD/SO and include your contact lens costs, solutions if required and professional fees, currently at £8/month. Our Premium Lens Plan gives you access to reduced contact lens prices – costs start from £5/month for budget options and progress to £16/month for Acuvue Oasys. Lens solution packages are also available.

Your Professional Fees cover all contact lens appointments throughout the year and give you first access to and trials of new lens developments. Patients on our Contact Lens Plan are also entitled to 15% discount of all complete Spectacles, Sunglasses and Accessories.
