Hirocon: Japanese specialists with bespoke contact lens fittings
updated the 6 October 2015 à 22:28
Astigmatism, multifocal lenses and even hard lenses – Hirocon has it all. The fully-stocked contact lens retailer is your newest go-to specialist for all the contact lens brands you love.
If you’re a contact lens wearer and have always been the kind to let your lens purchases be dictated by recommendations from your fellow girlfriends, it’s time you rethink the way you choose your contacts. We rely on specialists to prescribe our glasses (for those of us who gradually steer further away from our 20/20 vision with age), so why shouldn’t we choose the same for the lenses that go on our eyeballs?
This is where Hirocon comes in – the Japanese contact lens specialist has been in the business for over 35 years now, and has just opened its first store on our shores right in the beating heart of town. The staff and highly-trained optometrists of Hirocon pride themselves in world-class customer service that ensures you get the best experience when choosing your lenses.
THOROUGH CHECKS
Welcoming counter staff will greet you into the spacious, light-filled shop and promptly hand you a form to state your personal particulars and health details, for a rough background of their first-time customers. A short series of thorough eye checks will then follow, to find the best contact lenses to suit your eyes’ needs. Common signs of eye complications are also further observed (such as cornea diseases, diabetic retinopathy, conjunctivitis and more) to make sure you’re in the pink of eye health.
BESPOKE CONTACT LENS FITTINGS
A selection of contact lenses will then be chosen according to your suitability, from which you can try and then remark on which you feel are most comfortable – whether your concerns are astigmatism, multi-focusing, and even hard lenses. Their fully-stocked collection ensures that you’ll get exactly the right pair of contact lenses you need almost immediately after your eye check. There’s no need to wait a week for stocks to come in here, unlike usual optical stores!
For our working mums, Hirocon also specialises in paediatric vision care for children under the age of seven years old. So while you’re getting your eye-brightening contacts fitted, why not let the optometrists have a look at your child’s eyes as well?
Make a trip to Orchard Gateway this weekend and experience the truly bespoke service of contact lens fitting for yourself. They’ll even advise if your current contacts are working well for you, so you’ll know you’re on the right track to having better day-to-day vision.
Hirocon is located at 277 Orchard Road, #B2-28, Orchard Gateway, Singapore 238858.
