Contact lenses are considered to be one of the best modern day inventions by contact lens wearers. Being able to pop in a set of contact lenses and see clearly all day sure beats having to readjust your glasses every few seconds. They feel natural and you don’t even know you’re wearing them.
There are all sorts of different lenses out there from daily wear to extended wear. One of the newer types of lens is a day and night contact.
What are day and night contact lenses?
Simply put their contact lenses that you can sleep in.
What are some of the benefits of day and night contact lenses?
- The biggest benefit is you can leave them in for weeks at a time. There are contact lenses available that you only have to change out once a month. It’s almost as good as having normal 20/20 vision again without the risk of laser surgery.
- Day and night contact lenses are disposable. You leave them in until you toss them out and pop in a new pair. It sure beats having to clean the same pair of lenses day after day.
- Since they are disposable you can take a few sets with you when you’re headed out of town. You don’t have to worry about losing a contact lens and not having a back up pair.
- The only down side to day and night contact lenses are your eyes may be a little bit blurry in the morning. A few drops of saline solution though and you’ll have crystal clear vision again.
Day and night contact lenses aren’t for everyone. Only your eye doctor can prescribe the right lens for you. Next time you’re at the office you can ask if you’re a good candidate for day and night contact lenses. If you have healthy eyes then chances are you’ll be able to order a few sets of day and night contact lenses.
