PATIENT EXPERIENCE
Kevin had been a loyal client of ours for over 20 years when he opted for progressive glasses to solve his presbyopia. However, he soon found that they weren’t exactly a hole-in-one when he was playing golf, a sport he loves.
Our team had an ingenious idea: Why not try contact lenses with just his distance prescription? Kevin was game and under the expert guidance of our team, he mastered the art of inserting and removing his contacts after just one teaching session.
Kevin now revels in the freedom of contact lenses, and he’s even exploring progressive contact lenses for everyday use. If you’re being put off your game by presbyopia, swing by our clinic and discover the range of solutions we have available today.
