Wearing contact lenses safely requires regular monitoring and good aftercare. At Goldsmith & Harvey, we provide ongoing support to ensure your lenses continue to suit your eyes and lifestyle.

We also review your lens care routine, offering practical advice to help you avoid infections and maintain comfort throughout the day. If your vision or comfort changes, we encourage you to get in touch rather than struggle on. Our team is always happy to reassess your lenses and recommend alternatives if needed. Because we are based in the Asda Longwell Green Supercentre, attending reviews or quick check-ups is simple and convenient. With consistent care, expert advice, and regular assessments, we help you enjoy the freedom of contact lenses while protecting your eye health for the future. Book your appointment today.

What Is a Contact Lens Assessment?
A contact lens assessment is a detailed appointment that goes beyond a standard eye examination. Its purpose is to make sure contact lenses are safe, suitable, and comfortable for your eyes. At Goldsmith & Harvey, we assess not only your vision and prescription, but also the health of your cornea, eyelids, and tear film. Every eye is different, which means the type, shape, and material of a contact lens can make a significant difference to comfort and long-term eye health. During your assessment, we discuss your lifestyle, work environment, and visual demands, as these factors help determine which lenses are most appropriate. Whether you are interested in daily lenses, monthly lenses, or specialist options, we take time to explain how each choice works. Our aim is to ensure your contact lenses fit well, feel comfortable throughout the day, and support healthy eyes over the long term.
Who Should Book a Contact Lens Assessment?
Contact lens assessments are suitable for a wide range of people, from those who have never worn lenses before to experienced wearers who want to review their comfort or prescription. If you are considering contact lenses for the first time, an assessment allows us to determine whether your eyes are suitable and which options will work best for you. For existing wearers, regular assessments are essential to check that your lenses still fit correctly and are not causing dryness, irritation, or subtle changes to eye health. At Goldsmith & Harvey, we also support patients who have previously struggled with contact lenses and believe they may not be suitable. Advances in lens technology mean that many people who experienced discomfort in the past can now wear lenses successfully. If your vision has changed, your eyes feel dry, or your lifestyle has shifted, a contact lens assessment ensures your lenses continue to meet your needs safely and comfortably.
What Happens During the Assessment
During your contact lens assessment at Goldsmith & Harvey, our Bristol opticians begin by reviewing your general eye health and vision. We carefully examine the surface of your eyes and assess how well your tear film supports contact lens wear. If you are new to lenses, we will recommend suitable options and allow you to try them under supervision. For existing wearers, we check the fit of your current lenses and how your eyes respond to them over time. We also assess how clearly you can see and whether any adjustments to your prescription are needed. If you are new to contact lenses, we provide clear, step-by-step guidance on how to insert, remove, and care for them, ensuring you feel confident before leaving. Throughout the appointment, we explain everything in simple terms and encourage questions. Our focus is on safety, comfort, and helping you enjoy clear vision with confidence.
