Whether you are playing sport, dressing up for an event or just going for a different look, contact lenses give you the freedom to do so and can be a great alternative to your prescription glasses. But can you claim them as part of your optical extras? Read on to find out.

Why choose contact lenses?
We love glasses, but we also know they’re not always the right option. Playing sport, applying makeup and even travelling can be made easier with the help of contact lenses. As well as the practical benefits, contact lenses are great for those times when you don’t want your eyes to be hidden, such as a formal event.
