Contact lens fitting at Abra & Co, Cheadle

We fit contact lenses across every prescription type and every lifestyle at our Cheadle practice — first-time wearers, lapsed wearers returning to lenses, complex prescriptions, kids in MiSight, over-45s in multifocals, sport-only wearers, dry eye patients who have struggled in lenses before. Whether you need a daily disposable for the gym, a monthly toric for moderate astigmatism, or specialist OrthoK lenses for overnight vision correction, we work through your full prescription, ocular surface health, and lifestyle before recommending a lens.

The contact lens types we fit

Daily disposable soft lenses — Acuvue Oasys 1-day, Dailies Total1, MyDay Daily. Premium comfort, no cleaning, ideal for occasional or sport wear. From £32/month full-time wear.

Monthly disposable soft lenses — Biofinity, Total30, Bausch + Lomb Ultra. Cleaned overnight in solution. Cheapest per day for full-time wear. From £19/month.

Toric lenses (astigmatism) — daily and monthly. Astigmatism prescriptions from -0.75 to -2.75 dioptres in 10° axis steps. Higher cylinders may need custom lenses (lead time 2-3 weeks).

Multifocal lenses (reading + distance) — see our dedicated multifocal page. Daily and monthly options. Most fitted ages 45-65 with moderate near corrections.

MiSight 1-day (childhood myopia control) — corrects vision AND slows myopia progression in children 8-15. Part of our MyoShield programme.

OrthoK overnight rigid contact lenses — worn during sleep, removed in the morning. Vision corrected all day with no daytime glasses or lenses. Excellent for kids myopia control and adults wanting lens-free days.

The fitting process

Book a 45-minute contact lens consultation. We do a full ocular surface check — tear film, lid margin, corneal staining — before discussing lens types, because dry eye and lid disease are the two biggest reasons CL fittings fail. If we find signs of dry eye, we may recommend treating it first via our EyeClean programme before fitting lenses; doing it the other way round usually fails. Once we are happy with the ocular surface, we recommend a lens type, send you home with trial lenses for 1-2 weeks, see you back to refine. Most patients settle on the final lens by visit 3.

What’s included in the fee

£95 fitting fee covers all fitting visits, trial lenses, the final prescription, and 12 months of aftercare. After 12 months the subscription model continues your aftercare automatically as long as the subscription is active. If you decide contacts are not for you during the fitting period, you pay the fitting fee but no subscription. Subscription: from £19/month (monthly soft), £29/month (multifocal monthly), £32/month (dailies), £56/month (premium daily multifocal). Includes monthly postal delivery to your Cheadle / South Manchester address.

Frequently asked questions

I’ve never worn contacts — will I be able to?

Almost certainly yes. We spend the time at the first fitting making sure you are confident inserting and removing the lens before you leave. Most first-time wearers are wearing lenses comfortably within 1-2 weeks.

I have dry eye — can I wear contacts?

Often yes, but we want to treat the dry eye first. Daily disposables with high water-content materials (Total1, MyDay) work best for mild dry eye. For moderate dry eye we treat the underlying meibomian gland dysfunction via our EyeClean programme, then fit lenses afterwards.

Can I sleep in standard contact lenses?

No — sleeping in daily/monthly soft lenses significantly increases corneal infection risk. The exception is OrthoK lenses, which are specifically designed for overnight wear and shape the cornea while you sleep.

I gave up on contacts years ago — should I try again?

Yes, particularly if more than 5 years ago. Modern lens materials are dramatically more breathable and comfortable than the lenses of 10-15 years ago. Many of our most-satisfied lens patients are returning wearers who had assumed contacts were not for them.
