Nocturnal Lenses
Did you know it is possible to correct your vision using a contact lens that you wear during sleep and remove when you awake?
Nocturnal™ lenses enable you to see clearly throughout the day without any irritations or concern about dry eyes or discomfort. Suitable for young and old alike, Nocturnal™ lenses are ideal for those who work in air-conditioned or dusty environments, partake in any sport activities or simply want to enjoy good sight without glasses, lenses or surgery.
The major benefits of Nocturnal™ Lenses are:
- None of the risks of laser surgery
- Possibly never have to buy spectacles again
- More convenient than conventional contact lenses
- Comparable cost to regular lenses
- Nocturnal™ is a non-surgical process that uses reverse geometry
contact lenses to reshape the cornea of the eye while you sleep. So
when you wake up Nocturnal™ will have corrected the focusing power of
the eye which means that you would not have to wear spectacles or
contact lenses during the day.
Work, play sports... enjoy yourself with complete freedom
Nocturnal™ offers huge benefits to people in specific areas of employment where spectacles or contact lenses can be an inconvenience.
Likewise, not having to wear contact lenses during the day means that you will no longer experience problems with hay fever, dryness, air conditioning, wind, dust or slippage... leaving you free to focus on enjoying a modern, active lifestyle.
The fitting of Nocturnal™ lenses follows a similar procedure to conventional contact lenses. A corneal topographer is used to map the exact contours of the eye using thousands of points of reference. This data is then used to produce individually tailored lenses to suit your precise needs. The topographer is also used to check the eye after the lens has been worn.
Fitting and wearing schedule
Nocturnal™ lenses provide a convenient, risk free alternative to
laser surgery, which is fully supervised by a qualified optician.
Appointment 1 - The optician checks for suitability then accurately measures the contours of the eye.
Data is then used to precision engineer lenses for the individual user.
Appointment 2 - Lenses are collected, fitted and a further appointment is made for the next morning.
Appointment 3 - The eye and lenses are checked thoroughly and topographic readings taken.
Appointment 4 - A few days later the user is given a further check-up to ensure both practitioner and user are totally satisfied with the treatment.
Check-ups are then scheduled at similar intervals to those for normal contact lens users.
If you would like to arrange an eye examination to assess the suitability of your eyes for Nocturnal™ lenses then please either telephone on (01382) 462236 or use the 'Book an Eye Examination' contact form.
