Contact Lenses
At Mahdi Opticals we fit soft contact lenses from several different suppliers so that we can prescribe the most appropriate solution for your lifestyle.

Soft contact lenses are usually comfortable straight away and are ideal for daily wear. They are unlikely to dislodge from the eye making them suitable for sports or use in dusty conditions.
