Contact Lenses for Overnight Wear

These types of lenses are for those that wish to sleep with their contact lenses on. They are not really recommended as they place a lot of added stress on your eyes and so the first 2 options are your best long term solutions (Pun intended).

Soft Contact Lenses

These are the norm theses days. Since they are soft and large (14mm in diameter), they are also:

✔ Easy Available

✔ Convenient

✔ Comfortable

✔ Quickly get used to them

Hard Contact Lenses

Hard Contact lenses are more custom to your eyes are are your option if you have a very unique prescription.

They are smaller in diameter (9.5mm) compared to softer contact lenses.

With that said, may people still prefer the convenience of soft lenses.

The advantages of hard contact lenses is that they can:

✔ Enhance your vision

✔ Made specifically for your eyes.

✔ Can last forever if you take great care of them.

Take note that the fitting process for hard lenses takes more time and expertise to get right.

You may have to return to your optometrist to have it tweaked in order it fit you perfectly and your vision is at its best.

Also they can take more time to get used to.

How to Wear Your Contact Lenses? Step by Step

FAQ for contact lenses fitting

What actually happens during the appointment, and how long will it take?

Plan for around 45 minutes to an hour.

We’ll check your prescription, measure your eyes for lens fit, talk through your lifestyle (screen time, sport, dryness, whatever’s relevant to you), and then fit you with a trial lens so you can see and feel the difference immediately.

You’ll leave with a clear plan, not just a prescription slip — you’ll know what you’re wearing and why it suits you.
I've never worn contact lenses before — can you still fit me, and will I struggle with insertion?

Yes, and it’s more common than you’d think — most first-timers are more nervous about this than anything else.

Our Bedfordview optometrists will teach you to insert and remove your lenses in the room, at your pace, until you’re comfortable doing it yourself.

You won’t be sent home to figure it out alone with a YouTube video and a mirror.
I have astigmatism / dry eyes / a strong prescription — can I even wear contacts?

In most cases, yes.

Lens technology has moved a long way past “one size fits all,” and there are toric lenses for astigmatism, high-moisture options for dry eyes, and designs built for stronger prescriptions.

The only way to know what’s right for your specific eyes is the fitting itself — so rather than ruling yourself out beforehand, come in and let us tell you what actually works for you.
What if the lenses don't feel right once I start wearing them day to day?

That’s exactly what the trial period is for.

You wear the trial lenses in real life — not just in the chair — and if anything feels off, we adjust the fit or try a different lens type until it’s right.

You’re not locked into a year’s supply based on one 45-minute appointment; you get to test it in your actual world first.
