Contact Lenses
Contact lenses have made significant technological advancement in the past decade or two. They’re now more functional, easier to put in and take out, and generally feel better once they’re inserted. If you wear glasses and you’ve never tried or even thought about contact lenses as an alternative, they may be extremely beneficial and allow you to do things you simply cannot when you’re wearing glasses.
1. Contact Lenses Allow Great Physical Activity
Once you begin wearing contact lenses, you’ll be able to perform a significantly greater amount of activities. Whether you’re into playing sports, exercising at the gym or going for a run around the neighbourhood, you will never have to worry about your glasses breaking or falling off your face. When you’re being active, you will hardly notice you’re wearing contact lenses, other than the fact that you can see clearly. Physical activity is an important part of staying healthy, so don’t simply be restricted by your glasses.
2. Improved Peripherals
Glasses have and still are fantastic as a way to improve our sight. They provide you better sight almost instantaneously when you put them on, although, limit our peripheral vision. This is not a big deal as we simply turn our head to see to the side. Contact lenses on the other hand provide you with perfect peripheral vision due to the way they are positioned on your cornea. If you currently only wear glasses, you may not even realize this problem exists, but trying out contacts may open you to a new avenue of enjoyment.
3. Functionality
Have you ever had your glasses fog up? Maybe you’ve been wearing glasses in the rain and they get wet and require a wipe. These types of issues do not exist with contact lenses. they allow you to function in your day to day without having to worry about maintaining clean and clear glasses lenses.
4. Contact Lenses Give You Options
Just because you buy contact lenses does not mean you have to wear them all the time. It gives you a secondary option to only wearing glasses. Dependent on what you’re doing, you may prefer to avoid some of the issues or risks that come along with wearing glasses.
Additionally, you may like the way you look with glasses but want to change things up sometimes. Having the option to simply put your contacts in whenever you please is a great feeling and almost all people who own contacts see it as a solid investment in themselves.
5. Contacts Made Easy
One of the top complaints people have with using contact lenses is the process of putting them in or having to take them out during inconvenient times or at times when you might not have the supplies needed to do so. For your convenience, there is also an option to buy disposable contact lenses. These come much cheaper and you will not be as worried about losing or wrecking your contacts when you take them out and have no where to put them.
6. Prescription Options
Just like glasses, technology has allowed contact lenses to be accessible for people with all sorts of prescriptions. Whether you’re near sighted, far sighted, or anything in between, there is no longer a restriction to what types of prescriptions can and can not utilize contacts.
