At Airedale Opticians, we believe everyone deserves clear, comfortable vision with complete freedom. Whether you’re new to contact lenses or need a specialist fit, our experienced optometrists in Keighley will help you find the perfect lenses for your eyes, lifestyle, and prescription.
What Are Soft Contact Lenses?
Soft lenses are the most popular and comfortable option. Made from flexible, gel-like materials containing up to 75% water, they allow oxygen to reach your eyes easily.
Ideal for first-time wearers
Quick and easy to adapt to
Remains healthy with proper cleaning
Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Lenses
RGP lenses are made from semi-rigid materials that allow high oxygen transmission to the cornea. They rest on a thin layer of tears and move slightly when you blink, giving crisp, stable vision.
Sharp, long-lasting vision
Excellent for astigmatism or irregular corneas
Durable and easy to handle
Although they take a little longer to get used to, most wearers find them very comfortable once adapted.
Disposable Contact Lenses
Short-sightedness (myopia)
Long-sightedness (hyperopia)
Astigmatism
Presbyopia (reading vision
Disposable lenses are a great choice for anyone seeking comfort, hygiene, and flexibility.
Scleral Contact Lenses
Scleral lenses are larger versions of RGPs that vault over the cornea and rest gently on the white of the eye (the sclera). A layer of tear fluid sits beneath the lens, offering exceptional comfort.
Dry eye sufferers
Irregular corneas or high prescriptions (e.g Kerataconus)
Hybrid Contact Lenses
Hybrid lenses combine the clarity of an RGP lens with the comfort of a soft lens. The centre is rigid for sharp, clear sight, while the surrounding soft skirt adds stability and comfort.
They’re ideal for patients seeking premium vision and all-day comfort.
Toric lenses are designed specifically to correct astigmatism. They maintain their position perfectly on the eye, giving consistent, clear vision.
Available as RGP, soft, or disposable lenses — we’ll help you choose the best option for your eyes.
As we age, near vision can become more challenging. Multifocal lenses correct both near and distance vision seamlessly — perfect for reading, computer work, and driving.
At Airedale Opticians, over half of our new lens fittings are multifocals because they offer a natural, glasses-free experience.
