Experience the Advantages of Contact Lenses

Correcting your vision has never been so simple with contact lenses. Contact lenses are ideal because they are comfortable, effective and versatile. The Benefits of Contact Lenses There are several advantages that come with using contact lenses. Vision correction: Contact lenses are able to correct an assortment of optical problems such as astigmatism, myopia (nearsightedness) and hyperopia (farsightedness). A better fit: Since contact lenses fit directly over the eye, they provide comprehensive correction and reduce distortion. No two sets of eyes are the same but contact lenses conform to the shape of the eye so your peripheral vision is clear. On occasion or all the time: There are different contact lenses depending on the type and level of vision correction you need. Certain contact lenses can be worn for long periods of time or even overnight. Great for weather: Snow and rain can be a tricky mess because a change in precipitation can lead to foggy or blurred glasses. Contact lenses provide a simple alternative to this problem by not collecting moisture. Ideal for sports: Contact lenses are the best way to go when it comes to high-impact activities and exercise. Glasses are at a risk for damage or breaking during sports while contact lenses do not get in the way at all. Go natural: A popular reason for selecting contact lenses is because they provide a natural look compared to glasses. Some individuals prefer their appearance without glasses. What You Need to Know About Contact Lenses Contact lenses are an amazing alternative to eyeglasses but they do require daily care. Costs: The cost of contact lenses is comparable to glasses but may change depending on a multitude of factors. Wear, function and daily maintenance all play a role in costs. Mandatory upkeep: For those who choose contact lenses, there is a certain amount of maintenance needed. Contacts require cleaning and disinfecting with clean fingers and hands. Listen to your optometrist: Following the directives from your optometrist and eye doctor are crucial for optimal vision. Do not wear contact lenses past the recommended date and if you consider a new lens then consult with your eye care team.
