What are the different types of contact lenses?

Contact lenses are an excellent choice for ones who need vision correction and want to avoid wearing eyeglasses full time. If you are going to choose contact  lenses for you, here a few types of contact lenses available:

Hard contact lenses

Hard (rigid) lenses are made of gas-permeable materials that allow oxygen to reach the cornea. They correct refractive errors, including astigmatism without any distortion.

Soft contact lenses

Soft (silicone hydrogel) lenses are made of soft, very flexible plastics that absorb water (up to 90% of the lens weight). Many people find them more comfortable to wear than hard lenses, but hard lenses usually provide sharper vision. Soft lenses are more fragile than hard lenses and require more intensive cleaning. Soft lenses that can correct astigmatism are called toric lenses.

Rigid gas-permeable (RGP) lenses

Rigid Gas-permeable lenses cost more than conventional hard lenses comfortably than conventional hard lenses. RGP lenses also provide better vision, durability and deposit resistance than soft contact lenses. 

Daily Disposable Contact lenses

Daily-wear contact lenses are removed at night and wearers can use a fresh pair in the morning. They provide sharp vision but do not correct astigmatism. 

Monthly Disposable Contact lenses

Monthly Disposable Contact Lenses can be worn day and night. You take them out, clean them, and wear them again. Monthly Disposable Contact lenses are usually monthly lenses that are designed to be worn for between a week and a month without needing to be taken out. This means that you can fall asleep in them and wake up with clear vision.
