Looking for Contact Lenses
Contact lenses have increased in popularity throughout the
years. They offer better vision correction than eyeglasses and
offer a freedom from the restrictions of wearing eyeglasses.
There are many different types of contact lenses which make them
available to many different people.
Almost anyone can wear contact lenses. The best contact lens for
you should be chosen with the help of an eye doctor. Knowing all
the different types, though, can help you make a more informed
decision.
The first step in getting contact lenses is to see an eye
doctor. Contact lenses can only be bought with a prescription.
They must be properly ordered and fitted based upon the eye
doctors exam. Getting an improper fit or prescription will make
the contacts useless to you.
Contact lenses fit into two groups based upon the type of
plastic they are made of: soft or ridged gas permeable (RGP or
GP lenses).
Soft contacts contain a certain percentage of water that makes
them comfortable to wear and easy to use.
RGP lenses are stiffer and more durable, but can take a period
to get used to them. Within these two groups there are many
varieties of lenses. There are lenses called extended wear which
can be worn through the night. Daily wear lenses are the easiest
to use and allow for good oxygen flow to the eye. Disposable
lenses are worn for a period of time then thrown away.
Almost all types of contact lenses are available with tint, UV
protection and bifocals.
Always talk over your options with your eye doctor. He or she
can help you best decide what type of contact lenses will work
the best for you.
