Soft Contact Lenses

You can throw them out every night – or wear them for months at a time. They can correct both your near-sightedness and your far-sightedness at the same time. You can choose your own eye color or play with the shape of your pupils.

Contact lenses have come a long way in the last two decades. From the early 1970s when soft contact lenses were first introduced to now, advances in materials and manufacturing have created a whole new class of corrective eyewear that works for almost everyone.

As little as ten years ago, you may have been told that you couldn’t wear contact lenses at all – or that soft contact lenses wouldn’t fit properly to correct your vision problems.

Or you may have tried wearing one of the earliest versions of soft contact lenses and decided that they simply weren’t comfortable enough for everyday wear. The expense of having contact lenses fitted may have been more than you were willing to pay.

All of those problems have nearly been eliminated over the past twenty years, and the new silicone materials have opened new possibilities in corrective eyewear.

If you’re considering trying soft contact lenses, take a look at the wide range of options available to you and then discuss your options with your eye care professional.

Disposable Soft Contact Lenses

One of the most time-consuming parts of wearing hard contact lenses was always cleaning and disinfecting. It’s a necessity – dirty contact lenses can cause dangerous eye infections. Disposable contact lenses completely eliminate the hassle of cleaning and disinfecting and the possibility of infection from dirty lenses.

Disposables are available in nearly every prescription, and seldom need to be fitted to the shape of your eye. There are colored disposables, daily wear disposables that can be worn for a day or two and then thrown away and extended wear disposables that you can wear day and night for up to a month before removing and replacing them with a fresh pair.

Colored Soft Contact Lenses

Always wanted something to make your brown eyes blue? Colored contact lenses are both fashionable AND practical. The tint in colored contacts can help you find one if you drop it, enhance your eye color, change your eye color – even protect your eyes from the sun. They can correct your vision if you need it – or you can purchase colored contacts without vision enhancement for purely cosmetic reasons.

Soft bifocal and toric contact lenses

The newest contact lenses can correct both nearsightedness and far sightedness with bifocal lenses, or even help correct vision problems caused by astigmatism.

There are some people who shouldn’t wear contact lenses. They include people with a history of viral eye infections, those whose eyes don’t produce enough tears and those who are constantly exposed to fumes. If you’re uncertain about whether you can wear soft contact lenses, speak to your eye care professional.
