Are There Different Types of Contact Lenses?

There are several different types of contact lenses that you may be prescribed based on the problem with your vision and the shape of your eyes. Most patients who wear contact lenses can wear the regular, soft variety of lenses. However, many patients aren’t able to because of the shape of their eyes.

When you have your eyes examined by an optometrist, your eye shape will be noted so that the eye doctor will know which type of contact lenses you can wear. You may need a pair of specialty lenses if your eyes have an abnormal shape. Once you have your eye exam, you will have a fitting for your contacts to make sure they are a good fit and comfortable.

What Are the Benefits of Wearing Contacts?

Wearing contact lenses comes with a lot of benefits. They are usually very convenient for people to wear. They usually won’t need any attention at all during the day, many patients appreciate the convenience of not having to clean or readjust them during the day. When you wear glasses, they have to be fussed with throughout the day, but contact lenses stay in and stay working. They are highly effective at vision correction and no one should be able to tell that they are in. Many people don’t like the way they look when they wear glasses, so they choose contact lenses for this reason.

Are Contacts Hard to Care For?

Contact lenses aren’t difficult to care for. It can take a little time to get used to the morning and night routine of putting them in and taking them out. After it becomes a habit, you won’t even have to think about it. Once you’re in the habit of it, it takes just seconds to care for them.
