Fast Facts & FAQ

Can I sleep in my lenses?

No, we don’t recommend it. Sleeping in contact lenses can increase the risk of infections.

Can I swim with contacts?

Yes, but keep your eyes closed underwater or wear swimming goggles to prevent irritation or losing your lenses.

Can I buy lenses online?

In South Africa, you have to have had a vision examination within the past twelve months and a written contact lens prescription from your optometrist before you can purchase contact lenses from an optometrist. It’s illegal to receive contact lenses via post or courier. So basically, don’t buy online.

How often should I test my eyes if I wear contact lenses?

We recommend a vision examination once a year. If you’d prefer not to have a full vision exam, we offer a corneal examination at no charge before you buy your next contact lenses. This ensures your eyes stay healthy and well cared for.
