Andrew Gasson qualified in the 1960s and has specialised solely in contact lenses since about 1970. He started his own practice in 1972, moving in 1984 to rooms here in De Walden Street where he continues to fit all types of contact lens. These can be either simple disposables or highly complex and individually designed lenses. Aftercare problems are a speciality and new patients however challenging are always welcome.
