Lens Technology

We are the best... The latest Contact Lens Technology is always available at Daybell & Choo. We are contact lens educators and university examiners. We examine for the British college of Optometrists in the professional qualifying examinations. We both possess the DCLP, which is the highest postgraduate contact lens qualification and have 45 years of combined experience. We offer lenses to correct all vision problems. We regularly attend conferences and courses and we are members of the British Contact Lens Association. We accept referrals from professional colleagues. A contact lens practitioner is available 6 days per week, including late appointments.

A complete service Being optometrists and Contact Lens (CL) practitioners our service is 'seamless' and there is no need for a separate consultation with a CL 'fitter', often on a different day, as happens in most 'corporate' opticians. This saves you time and allows for a more accurate and comprehensive service, since information gained in the eye examination often has specific relevance to the CL fitting. Often problems encountered by CL wearers may require an optometric examination and so you will not find yourself having to make a further appointment! We are meticulous with our aftercare service keeping comprehensive notes and reminding you when your check ups are due. Our Equipment Our technical equipment (Microscopes, Tearscopes etc.) are of the highest specification and quality and are regularly maintained. Our Skills A CL fitter is a dispensing optician qualified by a 2 year diploma and a further CL diploma , an optometrist / ophthalmic optician is qualified to degree level and is permitted to examine the eye both internally and externally and evaluate all aspects of vision, prescribe contact lenses and spectacles. A dispensing optician may only 'fit' c/l's with the permission of an optometrist or ophthalmologist (specialist doctor ).
