First Class Contact Lens Team
date: 20-02-2023
We have long been a practice offering a range of innovative contact lens options spearheaded by Chris's particular interest in challenging lens fits.
Our practice has developed strongly over the past few years with optometrists Christina and Katie taking the lead in both overnight Ortho-K lens fitting to manage myopia and the latest scleral lens design fits that so ably support patients with irregular corneas and dry eye intolerance of conventional lenses. Recent Ortho-K success include teenagers from a Ukrainian family, now returned home and a journalist based in Dubai who noted how his new scleral lenses had transformed his vision! It's satisfying to know that the expertise here at Christopher Nixon Optometrists is not limited to Harrogate or even North Yorkshire but also positively impacts daily life so far from Starbeck.
Of course, all our optometrists continue to offer a full range of conventional soft daily and monthly contact lens options including the innovative MiSight myopia control lens and the latest technologies including SmarTears and High Energy Visible (HEV) filtering.
Our team of optometrists; Chris, Christina, Katie and Giles are all fantastically supported by dispensing optician Becky and Carole who display high levels of skill and much patience in teaching our patients how to properly handle their contact lenses.
None of this fabulous service would be possible of course without the sterling work of Sarah our practice manager who keeps the considerable mountain of administration associated with trials, fittings, collections and of course ongoing supply and payments running incredibly smoothly.
We are sure that there is a contact lens option for you and our specialist team would be delighted to explore those options with you. Please ask at reception if you would like to try contact lenses or indeed if you are currently wearing lenses but just want to discuss any potential new alternatives.
