A BURY opticians is offering a revolutionary type of contact lens which helps people see clearly - when they take them out!

Yates and Suddell claims the overnight treatment, named Ortho K Vision, gives 70 per cent of users significantly restored vision.

Li-san Heap, who is short-sighted, works as an office administrator and can spend up to eight hours a day using a computer.

She tried the treatment in January.

She said: “I found wearing glasses inconvenient, they restricted my vision and I found it difficult to play sport with them on.

“I wore contact lenses everyday, which was great, but if I wore them too long in the day, my eyes would get too dry and sore.

“After the first night of wearing the Ortho K lenses I was shocked at how well it had worked in just one night - it was brilliant. My eyes now feel so much healthier and it has changed my life.

“I just pop my specially tailored lenses in at night, and take them out when I wake up and I can see throughout the day. I have so many more options and no barriers getting in my way.”

Accredited practitioner, Nick Howard, said: “I’ve worked in the profession for almost 30 years and this non surgical and non invasive treatment is by far the most exciting and innovative development in the contact lens arena.”
