December brings a flurry of invitations—work parties, family gatherings, winter weddings, and those long-awaited catch-ups with friends. If you’re planning your festive looks, contact lenses can ring the changes. At Rawlings Opticians & Hearing Care, we’re here to help you enjoy every event with clear vision and zero hassle.
Why Contact Lenses?
A cleaner, simpler look
Love your glasses? So do we! However sometimes it’s just nice to mix it up and have a change of look for events and celebrations. Contact lenses aren’t ‘all or nothing’ – todays comfortable lenses mean you can just wear them occasionally, unlike in years gone by when weeks of adaptation was necessary. Contact lenses give you full freedom with makeup and allow your natural features to take the spotlight. Whether you’re going bold, classic, or low-key, lenses keep your look streamlined without frames reflecting in photos or competing with your outfit.
Fog-free vision in winter weather
Moving between cold streets and warm venues is the quickest way to steam up your glasses. Contact lenses remove that problem entirely—no misting, no constant wiping, just clear, uninterrupted vision.
Comfort when you’re on the move
Christmas nights often involve a lot of walking, dancing, and squeezing into packed rooms. Lenses stay put, won’t slide down your nose, and won’t get knocked off when hugging half the room.
The Best Contact Lens Options for Christmas Parties
Daily disposables: A great choice if you only plan to wear lenses for the event itself. Fresh pair in, fresh pair out—simple and hygienic.
Silicone hydrogel lenses: Comfortable for longer wear, ideal for full-day or day-to-night plans.
Multifocal lenses: If you need support with reading menus or checking your phone, these give clear vision at all distances.
Coloured lenses: A subtle enhancement or a full change—safe, professional options (never costume lenses bought online).
If you’re unsure which type suits you best, our team can recommend lenses tailored to your eyes and how you’ll be using them.
Keep Your Eyes Comfortable All Evening
A few small habits can make a big difference:
- Put lenses in before applying makeup
- Use oil-free or lens-safe products
- Keep rewetting drops with you
- Always remove lenses before going to bed, no matter how late it is
Order Your Lenses Early
Christmas is one of the busiest times of the year for postal services and contact lens suppliers. Delays can—and often do—happen. If you’re relying on lenses for events or travel, placing your order early is the best way to avoid last-minute stress. Our team can advise on delivery times and help you top up your supply before the rush.
