Soft Contact Lenses:
Those Most Recommended by Eye Professionals

If you have never worn a contactlens before, you will want to ask your optometrist about the best type for you. There are many different brands, styles, levels of permeability, colors, and risks associated with them. Depending on your cornea needs, prescription, and shape, you will need a different type. For example, if you suffer from an optical condition called Astigmatism, you will need special ones that are designed specifically for your eye. However, if you are like most people, soft contact lenses will usually be the choice for you. They are the most frequently recommended; the easiest for inserting, have the most styles and options, and are usually considered to be most comfortable. The odds are that if you want to avoid complications, soft contact lenses will be your option of choice.

The two basic types of plastic contactlenses that you can select from are rigid gas permeable or soft. Soft contact lenses kind are composed of 25-75% water, and easily adjusts to your iris. This is why many people who wear them prefer them to the rigids. Your choice between the two plastics will rely heavily upon how frequently you intend to wear them, and the length of time you want to keep them in, including overnight (such as focus night and day lens formats).

On top of the type of synthetic used, there is a choice that you need to make regarding whether you want them to be disposable or conventional - reusable. The throwaway options will usually include monthly, weekly, and daily. The length of the wear depends entirely on the brand that you select.

No matter what you choose, keep in mind that everyone's eyes produce different amounts of enzymes, so the lifespan of your contact will depend on your sensitivity and how well you take care of them.
