Choosing the Right Contact Lenses
Finding the right contact lenses is essential for clear vision and comfort. Here are some steps to help you select the most suitable lenses:
-
Ensure Your Prescription is Up-to-Date
Your prescription can change over time, and having an updated prescription ensures the contact lenses are tailored accurately to your visual needs. If you have not gotten your prescription updated in the past 2 years, request an eye examination by our optometrist.
-
Consider Your Lifestyle
Think about your daily habits — how frequently you plan to wear your lenses, and how much time you can dedicate to maintenance. In general, daily disposables offer more convenience, while monthly lenses, being reusable, are a more cost-effective option.
-
Address Sensitivities and Costs
If you have sensitive eyes, dryness, or allergies, consult your optometrist about lenses designed for these challenges. Additionally, consider your budget — daily disposables often cost more over time, whereas reusable lenses can offer savings.
Daily versus Monthly Disposable Lenses
-
Daily Disposable Lenses
Daily disposable lenses offer the convenience of fresh, clean lenses each day, reducing the risk of eye irritation and infection. They do away with the need for daily cleaning and storage, making for an effortless contact lens care routine.
-
Monthly Disposable Lenses
Monthly disposable lenses are reusable and provide a cost-effective solution for long-term contact lens wearers. Designed for repeated use, these durable lenses can be easily cleaned and stored after use. As its name states, monthly disposable lenses are replaced monthly.
Benefits of Wearing Contact Lenses
Contact lenses are a versatile option for vision correction and bring about several additional benefits on top of enhancing visual clarity.
-
Wide Range of Vision Correction
Contact lenses can help to correct multiple optical conditions, including astigmatism, nearsightedness, and presbyopia.
-
Convenience and Comfort
For active individuals, contact lenses offer convenience, eliminating fogging, glare, and the all-too-familiar struggle of holding slipping glasses in place during physical activities.
-
Aesthetic Appeal
Naturally, glasses may not be an appealing or flattering option for everyone. Contact lenses make a practical alternative, offering the same clear vision while allowing the wearer to enjoy both style and confidence.
-
Wider Field of View
By enabling clear vision without the need for glasses, contact lenses offer unobstructed peripheral vision that the frames of glasses otherwise block. Contact lenses also eliminate vision distortions that occur at the edge of glass lenses.
