A contact lens prescription will be given to you after you have been fitted for contact lenses by an optician. It will provide details of the lens parameters and the power you require.

Contact lens prescriptions are usually valid for one year, unless otherwise stated by your practitioner. It is recommended that you have a contact lens examination at least once a year.

Understanding your prescription is very important if you are ordering from Feel Good Contacts – you will need it to order the correct contact lenses. Your prescription should be given to you on paper by your optician or optometrist after a contact lens fitting. If you are already using contact lenses with the correct prescription, you can also find it written on the side of your contact lens box.

The vision in your eyes may vary, so your left and right eye will be listed separately.

There are a few different figures on your prescription – here’s a quick guide to understanding them.

•  (BC) Base Curve – This is a measurement of the curvature of the contact lens. Always done in millimeters, this figure determines how well a contact lens will fit the eye.

•  (AX) Axis – An axis indicates the direction of the curve needed to correct an astigmatism. It will be a number between 0-180.

•  (DIA) Diameter – This is the width of a contact lens measured in millimeters.

•  (PWR/SPH) Power/Sphere – This figure indicates whether you are long or short sighted, and how weak your vision is. Long-sightedness is indicated by a plus (+) and short-sightedness by a minus (-). The higher the figure, the greater the need for visual correction.

•  (CYL) Cylinder – This figure is only present on prescriptions for astigmatisms. It indicates the severity of the astigmatism, and will always be a minus (-) quality.

Unfortunately, no. Glasses and contact lenses require different prescriptions even though they measure the same features. This is because your glasses are not fitted directly to your eye.

We strongly recommend that you have your eyes checked at least once a year.

If your vision is blurred or you are experiencing discomfort or pain, be sure to book an appointment with a practitioner as soon as possible.

No, it’s not necessary to purchase your contact lenses from the same optician. Once you have had your contact lens fitting and have been given your prescription it is entirely up to you where you buy your lenses from! 

Yes! In most cases, people with astigmatism can find contact lenses to fit their eye. Toric lenses are a contact lens specifically developed for astigmatism. They are available for daily, monthly and yearly use.

Please consult your optician if you’re unsure of what type of contact lens you should wear.

We strongly recommend against wearing any variation on your prescribed contact lens.

A contact lens of the wrong size might not worsen your eye-sight, but it can be very dangerous for the health of the eye.

You might notice a slight improvement in your vision when wearing the wrong prescription, but your vision will not be clear. This will cause your eyes to strain, and you may experience discomfort and headaches.

It is likely that if your contact lens is the wrong shape or size it will feel uncomfortable in the eye. The wrong contact lens may cause dryness, tearing, and even scratch the surface of your cornea, which can lead to serious problems and damage your vision.

A valid prescription has been dispensed by a qualified optometrist or professional contact lens fitter and remains valid for twelve months. We reserve the right to verify the details of your prescription with your optician.

This also applies to customers re-ordering lenses. When purchasing from us you confirm that you have been prescribed the contact lenses you have ordered by a qualified practitioner. We do not accept responsibility if you order lenses that have not been prescribed for you. The same applies if the difference between the prescription and purchase date exceeds 12 months.

There are contact lenses that have been specifically developed to suit the needs of dry eyes. Our favourites are 1-Day Acuvue Moist, Dailies AquaComfort Plus, and Acuvue Oasys, which are all great for keeping your eyes comfortable.

There are many reasons you could be experiencing discomfort while wearing your contact lenses. These include, but are not limited to:

• Build-up of protein on the lens
• A tear in the lens
• The lens has turned inside out
• A trapped particle (make-up, dust, clothes fibres and so on)
• The contact lens is unsuitable for your eyes.

If you are experiencing irritation from your contact lenses you should remove them immediately. If the problem persists after replacing or cleaning the lens, consult with your optician to find a contact lens more suitable to your needs.

If the irritation is minor try removing your lenses and rinsing them with a saline solution. or disinfecting them completely.

If the irritation is severe remove the lenses immediately and seek your practitioner’s advice. Ignoring such signs may lead to serious corneal and conjunctival irritation. We recommend that you always have a pair of glasses (spectacles) as a back-up.

In most cases, sleeping with your contact lenses in is not recommended. Disposable contact lenses will dry out overnight, and absorb water from your eye to compensate. This will leave you with sore, dry eyes in the morning.

Sleeping with your lenses in increases your risk of infection, and you may wake to find your lens stuck to your eye. This can be painful and difficult to remove.

There are contact lenses specially developed for overnight wear. These extended wear lenses can be worn during the day, and do not need to be removed when you go to sleep. They can be worn for up to 30 days. Take a look at our extended wear lenses to see which brand will suit you.

Of course! However it is important that you follow a few guidelines to ensure both your eye, and contact lens are protected.

Check out our FAQ ‘What are the general rules of applying cosmetics for contact lens user?’ to find out more.

Wearing make-up whilst using your contact lenses is absolutely fine – but it’s important that you protect your lenses from damage. Here are a few tips to keep you problem free:

• Always put in your contact lenses before applying any make-up
• Try to choose a mascara that is fast drying, and fibre free – you don’t want it to flake into your eye
• Always use compact or cream eye-shadows instead of powders
• Avoid applying pencil eyeliners inside of the eye
• It is best not to use false eyelashes when wearing contact lenses
• Remember to close your eyes when using deodorants and sprays to protect your eyes and your lenses.

Treat any contamination immediately by removing the lenses and cleaning them with saline solution.

How you clean your contact lenses depends on the type of contact lens and solution that you use.

Read our handy guide to contact lens care for more information.

Your choice of solution will depend on a couple of different factors – for example, what kind of contact lens do you wear?

Daily disposable users do not need to regularly clean and disinfect their lenses. But accidents do happen. We recommend you carry a small bottle of saline solution with you in case your contact lenses need to be rinsed.

If you wear two-weekly or monthly disposables you will need to clean, disinfect and store your lenses every night. For this we advise an all-in-one solution. These multi-purpose solutions provide everything you need to care for your lens in one bottle.

For allergy sufferers and those with sensitive eyes, you may want to use preservative free, hydrogen peroxide based cleaners. It is important to know how to use this type of solution properly.

Read our handy guide to contact lens care for more information.

You should NEVER use water to clean or store your contact lenses.

Even after purification water can contain harmful bacteria. This bacteria transfers easily to your lenses. If bacteria, microorganisms or fungi grow on a contact lens it can cause dangerous eye infections.

Acanthamoeba is a naturally occurring amoeba commonly found in many water sources, including tap water. If this parasite infects the eye it causes an unusual but sight-threatening condition called Acanthamoeba keratitis. This condition is very difficult to diagnose and treat because symptoms will only appear when the condition is at an advanced stage. If the eye is left infected, it can cause permanent sight loss.

We recommend you change your contact lens case at least once a month. Once opened, it is also advisable to discard your saline solution bottle after one month and use a new one.

For a full guide on how to care for your contact lens case, visit our handy guide Caring for your Contact Lenses.

If you wear two-weekly or monthly contact lenses it is important to keep track of how long you have been using your lenses.

We recommend always replacing your lenses on the same day of the week, or the same date every month.

Keep note of the date you first insert your lenses. If you keep a calendar or diary, set a date to replace your lenses.

Daily disposable contact lenses are the perfect choice for those who like the convenience and health benefits of fresh eyes every day.

Protein deposits can build up on your contact lenses over time. This can make them uncomfortable to wear and reduce the quality of your vision. Daily disposables mean you don’t need to worry about this – you always have comfortable, clean lenses.

Because you replace your contact lenses every day, there’s no need to spend time cleaning and storing them. This is great for those of you who are sensitive to saline solutions. Even better if at the end of a long day the last thing you want to do is clean your contact lenses!

At Feel Good Contacts we want to make your life as easy as possible – so yes! You can order your contact lenses one eye at a time.

When you are entering your contact lens prescription you will see separate sections for your right eye, and for your left.

Simply un-tick the box next to the eye you do not want to order for. The selection boxes for this eye will turn dark grey, and no order will be placed.

Myopia is short-sightedness. It is the ability to see objects that are close, but struggling to see objects that are far away.

Hyperopia is long-sightedness. It is the ability to see objects that are far away, but struggling to see objects that are close.

Presbyopia is a natural condition that occurs as the eyes age. The lens of the eye becomes less flexible and on nearby objects becomes a problem. This does not mean that your ability to see distances has deteriorated – your eye simply takes longer to focus. Presbyopic lenses, which provide gradients of power, can offer some relief from this problem.

Astigmatism is a distortion of vision caused by a cornea that does not curve equally in all directions.

The cornea should curve over the eyeball smoothly and evenly like a beach ball. A cornea with astigmatism will be shaped more like a rugby ball – it is this curve that causes visual defects.

An eyeball with irregular astigmatism curves unevenly in several directions.

The use of toric lenses is to correct the visual defects caused by astigmatisms.

Consult your ophthalmologist on how long you should wait before using contact lenses after your operation.

Extended wear (or continuous wear) contact lenses are designed to be won continuously – both day and night – for extended periods of time.

Extended wear lenses are differentiated by the amount of water they contain:

• Low water content lenses – these are thin and can be difficult to work with
• Medium water content lenses – these are the most popular choice among contact lens wearers
• High water content – these lenses allow for the most oxygen flow, but run the risk of increased deposits on the lenses.

Due to the continuous use of extended wear lenses, users are at a greater risk of suffering from dry eyes, and from damaging their contact lens. This is why users must be extremely careful with their contact lens care.

Take a look at our range of extended wear lenses to see which will be right for you.

Toric lenses are made to fit eyes with astigmatism. The have a slightly different curve to standard contact lenses.

The axis (AX) on your prescription is an indication of the direction of the curve needed to correct an astigmatism.
The cylinder (CYL) indicates the strength of correction needed.

Multifocal lenses are usually prescribed for individuals whose eyesight has become worse with age.

As you grow older your eyes may have a harder time focussing on objects that are near to you – this is called presbyopia.
Once upon a time, reading glasses were the only way of correcting this. Now there are different kinds of multifocal contact lenses which can be used to correct your sight.

• Multifocal lenses – These lenses have two or more distinct focal powers. One focus may be for reading and viewing nearby objects. Another should be for viewing at normal distance. There may also be a focus for viewing things that are distant.
