Wearing & Taking Care of Contact Lenses

Lens care systems and contact lens solutions, are the products you use to clean, disinfect, and store your contact lenses for future use. No need to say, proper contact lens care is important for keeping your eyes healthy and out of infections. 

Contact prescriptions usually include more information to ensure that the contact comfortably fits your eye and fix the vision problems. Only your eye care provider can confine which contact lens care system would be best for your eyes; Talk to your eye care provider before using a new contact lens care system. 

Caring for soft contact lenses is essential to keep the eyes healthy, comfortable, and seeing as well as possible.

Contacts Or EyeGlasses?

Let me kindly clear it quite clearly, if you order a pair of contacts with an eyeglass prescription, your new lenses won’t correct your vision.

Before selecting between contacts and glasses, don't forget to keep in mind that one is not necessarily better than the other; each has its pros and cons in terms of vision, ease of use, and eye health.

Eyeglasses offer us several benefits over contact lenses; they require less cleaning and maintenance rather than eyeglasses. You don't need to touch your eyes to wear them (helpful in decreasing the risk for eye infections), and moreover, glasses are cheaper than contact lenses in the long run since they don't need to be replaced as often (as we do with the eyeglasses).

On the other hand, contacts are a whole lot closer to your eyes than eyeglasses. Optometrists factor in the distance of our glasses from our eyes and adjust this for contact lenses, which are placed on our eyes when gauging our contact lens. The higher the power of the glasses, the greater the distinguished between your spectacle power and your contact lens power.

Thanks to advances in contact lens technology, most of us, can wear contacts successfully even if we prefer to wear glasses as our primary form of vision correction. Moreover, if you wear the extended wear contacts, then clean and disinfect these lenses as soon as you remove them unless they are designed to be discarded immediately after use; in case you need to stop wearing contacts due to eye infection or irritation, or you simply want to give your eyes a break.
