With the exception of specialised overnight lenses, contact lenses should not be worn while sleeping.

Most contact lenses aren’t designed for overnight wear. Sleeping in them can reduce oxygen supply to the eyes, increasing the risk of infection or irritation.

Always remove your contacts before bed, unless your lenses are specifically approved for extended wear.
For the latest contact lens advice, visit us in practice or book online at glennhowell.com.au 👁️👁️

The perfect way to end a day of learning by the coast.

We’re proud to have sponsored the Hamilton Rotary Art Show, which was a huge success over the weekend! 🎨

Pictured here are Glenn, Jo, and art show director Brian Jenkins with the work of talented artist Richard Jones — his beautiful watercolour painting “Melbourne Street Scene, Corner Collins and Russell Streets”, which has been on display in our Hamilton window.

The art show raffle will be drawn this Wednesday, October 15 — if you’re quick, you may still be able to grab a ticket from our Hamilton shop! Don’t miss your chance to support local art and possibly take home a stunning piece.
