When you consider how important your vision is, the decision of what eye wear to use is not one to be taken lightly. Considering the rapid improvements in contact lenses over the past decade, they really are worth considering as an option for your eyes. These days contact lenses are made considerably more comfortable with different types of lenses allowing more or less oxygen to the eyes. With long term lenses now an option it is also a great option for ease of use, as the daily cleaning and putting lenses in, and taking them out used to discourage many people from wearing them.
While spectacles can be cleaned with everyday water, you can also cleanse your lenses with contact lens solution making it easy to keep contact lenses hygienic. Simply take the lenses out of your eyes, and rub the solution over them with your thumb whilst holding the lens in your hand. This will help in the case of built up grit that may occur if you are in a dusty area.
Glasses unfortunately only give a limited field of corrected vision, whereas contact lenses provide corrected vision in all directions. Once the lenses are in your eyes, they become so comfortable that you barely notice that you are wearing them and now that you can get contacts that last up to twenty eight days at a time, you do not need to change them for just under a month.
While glasses can be big and bulky, wearing contacts is not noticeable to most people looking at you. They are very thin and not noticeable when looking directly at a person, unless you look very closely at their eyes.
The choice between glasses and contacts can be a difficult one to make, but as you can see contact lenses are starting to outweigh glasses for many different reasons.
