Eye Examinations
In every single aspect of daily life we depend on our sight, and ongoing eye examinations are needed to monitor our eye health and maintain the best vision possible. Our complete eye examinations at O'Connor Opticians Midleton usually last 45 minutes, for all ages, and we will advise you if you require any extra eye tests and how long these would take.
Customised, Specialist Eye Care
Over the past 20 years we have developed an excellent eye consultation process that we carry out for each patient. We also engage with every patient individually, so we will tailor the eye examination as required and that ensures that you get a complete and thorough examination irrespective of your current eye requirements. We also check for any potential eye diseases like Cataracts, Glaucoma or Macular Degeneration, as well as including all the eye tests to check your vision and to assess if any vision correction is needed.
Your Optician will continually explain the results of the various eye tests to you and you can at any point ask questions and you will have those questions clearly answered. The eye test recommendations given at the end of the test will take into account all relevant influences such as your work environment, any leisure pursuits you have and your general lifestyle, so that we can expertly address your visual needs.

Contact Lenses
Contact lenses will lead you into a world of freedom from your reading glasses and they are a great option for many people looking for an alternative to glasses. Whether you play sportS or you are going out for the evening, with contact lenses you will not have to worry about damaging or loosing your glasses. Even wearing sunglasses requires you to swap over to your prescription sunglasses.
With contact lenses, driving at night with light glares on your reading glasses will becomes a thing of the past. The benefits of contact lenses are endless and O'Connor Opticians will help you to discover the freedom that contact lenses can bring. We fit all types of contact lenses from daily disposable lenses to monthly wear, and full time and coloured contact lenses too.
We start your contact lens journey by checking to see if your eye prescription is up to date and we carry out a thorough check of your eye sight. During the consultation we precisely check the shape, size and curvature of your eyes, and we also check the relative dryness of your eyes to determine the most suitable type of lenses for you. We will show you how to insert and remove the contact lenses yourself so that you can happily put them in and remove them as you like.
Contact lenses are a medical device and must be professionally fitted with the patient being trained on how to use them correctly. Call into our Midleton practice to find out everything you need to know.
