 ::  Contact Lens Services

Contact lenses can be worn as an alternative to spectacles, whether you are short-sighted, long-sighted or have astigmatism. If you are over a certain age and need bifocals or just reading glasses, you may also be fitted with contact lenses.

Contact Lens Sevices of the Melbourne Optometry Clinic will only fit you with contact lenses if they are a suitable correction option. Information and advice on the use and types of contact lenses will be provided as part of the initial assessment.
