FAQ's

If you have different prescriptions in each eye, then yes. However, if your eyes require the same visual correction then your lenses will not need to be specific to each eye.

Our contact lenses are genuine and safe. Many people are under the impression that buying your contact lenses online means you are not buying an authentic/safe product. The truth is that the contact lenses we stock are exactly the same lenses you would purchase from your optician. Our extensive stock range includes established manufacturers, such as Johnson and Johnson, Alcon and Bausch & Lomb, to ensure that we are only selling authentic products.

If you feel your vision has changed or your prescription requires updating, it's always best to get an eye test and consult your optician. They will help you to find the most suitable lenses based on your prescription and needs. Our opticians do not recommend contact lens wear without a valid prescription.

If you want to try new contact lenses, it’s recommended to speak to your optician before making any decisions. This way you’ll be able to find out which lenses are best designed to fit your visual requirements and your preferences.

Extended wear lenses are the only lenses currently deemed suitable for wearing overnight. They have a much more permeable surface (to allow oxygen to move more freely in and out of the eye) in comparison to standard dailies and monthly lenses that should be removed at the end of the day.

You should seek advice from your optician as to whether or not extended wear lenses are suitable for you.

You can only try a different brand of contact lenses with the approval of your optician. Today, there are an extensive range of contact lenses in different sizes and material, so you will need the help of your optician to decide whether or not they are suitable for your eyes. If you have been wearing the same brand of contacts or are unhappy with your current brand, don’t hesitate to check with your optician to find a contact lens more suitable for you.

Yes, you can absolutely wear makeup whilst wearing contact lenses. We generally advise that you insert your lenses before applying makeup and seek products made for contact lens wearers and those with sensitive eyes. You can read our full guide on makeup and contact lenses here.

A contact lens cannot truly get 'lost' behind your eyelid.

The surface of the eyelid hosts a thin, moist lining called the conjunctiva. The conjunctiva folds back and covers the white area of the eyeball at the back of the eyelid. The way in which the conjunctiva is positioned from the eyelids to the eyeball makes it impossible for anything to get lost behind the eye.

Contact lenses do not necessarily cause dry eyes, however, they can aggravate the problem if you’re wearing lenses that aren’t suitable for you.

There are several contact lenses that have been specifically developed to suit the needs of dry eyes. We also stock an extensive range of eye drops, which can be used to help soothe and lubricate dry eyes.

You can buy your contact lenses from any contact lens retailer. However, we recommend you buying from Feel Good Contacts, you can get them up to 50% cheaper than high street opticians.

At Feel Good Contacts, we don’t need to see your prescription when you order. We trust that you have an updated contact lens prescription with you, so you can order your lenses quickly and easily when you shop with us.

A wide number of contact lenses filter out harmful UVA and UVB light. However, it’s always best to check the product descriptions to find out if your desired lenses offer UV protection. Our comfi range of contact lenses like comfi Daily Disposable, comfi Air and comfi 2 Weekly offer this feature.

Contact lenses are usually in their correct form when you take them out of their packaging. To check if they are inside out you can:

- Check the shape of the lens, it should have a smooth, round curve, shaped like a bowl.
- Some lenses are marked with numbers or letters, if it is reversed it could be the wrong way round.
- If the lenses feel uncomfortable this could be an indication that they are the wrong way.

Contact lenses should be stored in fresh solution in a contact lens case. Storing your lenses correctly is important to avoid potential infections. Make sure you're only storing your lenses if necessary and using the correct solution too.
Please note, do not store or resue daily disposable lenses.

The length of time you can wear your lenses depends on the type of lenses you choose to wear and your eyes’ tolerance towards them.

Typically, contact lenses are either worn and disposed of daily, or removed, cleaned and stored in solution every night for up to two weeks or a month. Some contact lenses also provide the option of continuous wear, these are called extended wear lenses that you can wear day and night for a set period of time. To find out which lenses are suited to your eyes, it is highly advisable to speak to your optician, although do remember that you can order your lenses after they’ve been prescribed.

It is advisable to have an eye test every two years, but your eyes should be tested more frequently if advised to do so by your optician. Even if you aren’t due for an eye test, you should see an optician if you notice any changes in your visual abilities. Some people might be advised to have an eye test yearly.

You should replace your contact lens case every 3 months. Click here for more information on how to clean your case and store your lenses.

Unfortunately, no. Glasses and contact lenses require two separate prescriptions. This is because your glasses sit further away from your eyes and contact lenses sit directly on the surface of the eye.

Toric lenses are designed to correct astigmatism, a condition that affects the curvature of the eye. Light rays entering the eye, focus at more than one point on the retina, creating a blurry image. Toric contact lenses have additional power placed specifically to line up with your required visual correction.

The cylinder (CYL) value is the power needed to correct the astigmatism. The axis (AX) on your toric contact lens prescription is an indication of the angle the correcting power (CYL) needs to be positioned to correct the astigmatism.

Silicone hydrogel is exactly what contact lenses are made of.

This material allows for extensive wear and provides an increased level of comfort. These are some of the latest contact lenses around and are ideal for those who wear their lenses all day long and are susceptible to dry eyes.

Consult with your optician to see if silicone hydrogel contact lenses would be suitable for you.

Understanding your prescription is very important if you’re ordering contact lenses online. Your prescription should be given to you by your optician/optometrist after a contact lens fitting. Remember, you have the legal right to request a copy of your prescription. If you’re already using contact lenses with the correct prescription, you can also find the information written on the side of your contact lens box.

The vision in your eyes may vary, so your left and right eye will be listed separately.

There are a few different figures on your prescription. Here’s a quick guide to understanding them:

(BC) Base curve – This is a measurement of the curvature of the contact lens. Always given in millimetres.
(DIA) Diameter – This is the width of a contact lens, also measured in millimetres.
(PWR/SPH) Power/Sphere – This figure indicates whether you are long or short-sighted, and the amount of power required to correct your vision. Long-sightedness is indicated by a plus (+) and short-sightedness by a minus (-). The higher the figure, the greater the visual correction.
(CYL) Cylinder – This figure is only present on toric prescriptions and determines the power of astigmatic correction required.
(AX) Axis – An axis indicates the angle the correcting power needs to be at to correct the astigmatism. It will be a number between 1-180 and is only found on toric prescriptions.

A valid prescription will have been issued within 12 months by a qualified, registered optician. We reserve the right to verify the details of your prescription.

This also applies to customers re-ordering lenses. When purchasing from us, you confirm that you have been prescribed the contact lenses you ordered by a qualified practitioner. We do not accept responsibility if you order lenses that have not been prescribed for you. The same applies if the difference between the prescription and purchase date exceeds 12 months, as your visual requirements might have changed at this time.

The type of solution you choose will depend on what is required for your contact lenses and your preferred maintenance routine. A multi-purpose solution or hydrogen peroxide solution is great for those who want an all-in-one cleaning and storing product. Hydrogen peroxide and RGP solutions provide a deeper clean and are designed for a specific type of lens. While contact lens cleaners can be used to rinse your lenses, it's important to use the solution recommended to you by your eye care practitioner and follow their instructions carefully.

Your optician should have supplied you with a copy of your prescription for your last eye test. In Ireland, it's your legal right to have a copy of your prescription.

However, if you weren’t given a copy, you can also find your prescription information on the side/end of your contact lens box.

However, some people do wear their distance glasses all the time for all tasks (including close work).
Near prescription glasses are prescribed only for reading and close work. If an ‘add’ is stated on your prescription, it will allow you to see only things up close clearly and your vision will be blurry when you look in the distance.

Our lens recognition system will recommend the most suitable lens package for you based on the prescription values which you have entered. When your prescription is a high minus or plus (for example, -5.00 or +4.00 Sphere and higher), we would advise you to choose a frame as small as possible (preferably in plastic) in order to reduce the thickness. Additionally, aviator frames are not recommended for prescriptions over +/-2.00 Sphere as they have a large lens diameter. Please see our lens guide for further information.
It's very important to consult your optician before purchasing a lens.

Our glasses are created based on your prescription and measurements provided by your optician. Please make sure to enter your prescription correctly.
All our glasses go through quality checks, which are performed by qualified lab technicians and opticians to ensure they confirm to the British Standards as stated by optical and government institutions.

If you need to tighten the screws of the frame, you can do this with our Feel Good Handy Kit.

You can get a copy of your glasses prescription from your optician when you have an eye test.

The best way to look after your spectacles is to clean them regularly and keep them in their case when not in use - this will prevent scratching and abrasion. When you purchased your glasses, it is likely that you were given a special soft cleaning cloth to use. There are cleaning sprays specially formulated for coated or uncoated lenses. Spray each side of the lens and rub gently towards the rim of the frame/lens edge and wipe dry with the lens cloth. To ensure your glasses are properly cleaned at all times, why not try our:

Multifocal lenses are prescribed for individuals whose eyesight requires correction for those who are both near-sighted and far-sighted.

They correct presbyopia, a visual issue particularly common as you age, where it becomes difficult to focus on objects near you.

These lenses have two or more distinct focal powers. These enable easy reading and viewing of nearby objects while also ensuring clear vision at intermediate and long distances.

The medical advice of your optician should always be respected as it is in the best interest of your eye health. However, once you have been examined and given your prescription, you have the right to purchase your lenses from wherever you like. Purchasing your lenses online is a cheaper alternative, which will result in the high street optician losing business, and for this reason, your optician may discourage you from buying them online. However, you should know that glasses purchased online undergo the same process as when you order them from your optician. We ensure that all frames and lenses fitted to your prescription are glazed, assembled and quality-checked by qualified lab technicians and opticians. However, we do not offer more complex prescriptions such as very high prescriptions and prescriptions with prism.
