If you decide on contact lenses the procedure is as follows. Mr Fitzsimons will take a detailed look at the lids and the front of your eye (Cornea) using a microscope. He will then take precise measurements of the front of your eye and insert a suitable lens to these measurements and assess the fit of the lens. Assuming the fit of the lens is perfect we will then arrange an appointment to show you how to insert and remove the lenses safely. You will then have a trial of the lenses for 1-2 weeks depending on the lens used. After this period of time you will return for a contact lens check to ensure you are happy with the lenses and no further adjustments are required.

If you are interested in contact lenses book an appointment with the Optical Team, T:  02825640582

 Fitzsimons Optician is a family owned and operated business, established in 1985 to provide quality eye care and excellent service to the people of Ballymena and beyond.As an independent optometrist we are able to provide a much larger range of frames and goods and a personal service that the big chains just can’t compete with.

And it’s reassuring to know that when you come for a sight test you’ll see Mr Fitzsimons personally… just as it’s always been.

The move to our new larger William Street premises gave us the room to expand and enhance our range and services. Today we have an exclusive sunglass department – stocking luxury lines like Gucci, Dior and Prada as well as specialist manufacturers such as Ray-Ban, Maui Jim and Oakley.  Our Oakley sales alone have been so successful we are now able to offer
 
ALL Oakley sunglasses at a 20% discount.
 
This is not a gimmick – it’s an indefinite price cut on these top flight frames.
 
 
Retinal Photograph

Retinal Photograph

We have invested in cutting edge technology to provide Retinal photography – the first Optician in Ballymena to do so.  The state-of-the-art Topcon Digital Retinal Camera allows us to take photographs of the back of your eye (the retina), and enable us to carry out a far more detailed examination than was previously possible. The image we take is similar to the one shown here, and our experienced optometrists can use this photo to diagnose the health and condition of your eyes.

 
We have also invested in the Visio-office,  a video system which gives unparalleled accuracy in dispensing Varifocal lenses.  Importantly, it also offers you the chance to be videoed wearing a selection of frames allowing you to compare styles before choosing.
