How to Choose Contact Lenses

For all those who suffer from vision problems and are not excited about the Glasses, who besides being impractical, too often tend to get scratched, to narrow the field of view, to cause irritation in the nose and ears, not to mention the aesthetics ... contact lenses can be a great solution. But their use can be quite tricky and it is necessary to know some information before you leap, because the purchase, contact lenses can be very expensive, depending on the type of lenses you need.

First, do not trust that your eye doctor or optician to guide you in your choice of contact lenses. Indeed, they are the only professionals able to determine your needs. Thus, the choices available to you will depend largely on the adjustments need your eyes.

Depending on your case, we can therefore offer you the traditional rigid lenses, having an initial cost that it is not possible to lose a lens, or damaging them due to lack of maintenance. The traditional contact lenses do require careful maintenance because their price required keeping a long time (usually a year or two).

For those who prefer to reduce the maintenance, daily disposable lenses are a good solution, because they are disposable, and sold in a sterile package. It is also much less severe damage to or loss of one of the lenses when they are very worth. It also helps spread the cost over the entire year, even if it means ultimately more expensive per year than traditional lenses assuming that the lenses are neither damaged nor lost. They can also be used to complement traditional lenses, for example when you are unable to engage in careful maintenance of your lenses if you go on weekends. 

Unfortunately, these disposable lenses are not suitable for all vision problems, and only an expert can tell you if you can find daily lenses adapted to your order.

A third solution, which is really halfway between the first two, is that of monthly lenses. These are soft lenses, such as daily disposable lenses, which are maintained as traditional lenses, and which is replaced between every two weeks and every three months. They also have the advantage of being less expensive to buy space and power budget.

Finally be aware that wearing contact lenses, once we have established a small routine and learned to live with, is much more comfortable than wearing glasses, which narrow the field of view, can be very uncomfortable, s' fogging up in inclement weather preventing play sports ... not to mention aesthetics. Because although many people live very well "style glasses", others prefer their faces naturally.
