This includes hard contact lenses for keratoconus and abnormal corneas. We also offer coloured contact lenses if you like to try a new look, and TransitionsTM contact lenses that darken when you are in bright sunlight to provide glare protection.
We provide subsidised contact lens fittings for patients who qualify for a Ministry of Health subsidy.
