No7's hand-painted lenses are growing part of its business

Restoring confidence in those traumatised with eye injuries and ocular illnesses is a growing part of the business that is changing lives, believes No7 Contact Lenses.

Helping to conceal ocular damage for patients all over the world is the responsibility of the hand-painted lens service at No7’s laboratory in Hastings, Sussex.

‘Through hours of painstaking work, we are able to provide the means for those who have suffered traumatic injury to look others in the eye again with confidence. Our customers are located throughout Europe and further afield, particularly Australasia,’ says Danny Pepper, No7 sales and marketing manager.

Some of the lens work is so fine that single hairs are used to paint the carefully matched effect from photographs of the patient’s other eye. No7 is also able to build in prescription powers to the hand-painted lenses.
