When choosing the means of vision correction – contact lenses or glasses – of cource contact lenses are more convenient. For example, using contact lenses you can wear sunglasses on a sunny day (this is especially handy if you’re driving the car). The frame when wearing corrective glasses is constantly in the field of view than its limit, while the contact lenses do not interfere with the eye to see. That’s why I chose contact lenses.
The main thing in contact lenses wearing is the right care. You must strictly comply with all recommendations of ophthalmologist and rules for the use of lenses and care for container storage. Disregarding these rules may lead to serious eye damage and the development of different eye diseases. But do not hurry to abandon such a convenient invention of mankind! Terms of care are quite simple and it only takes 5-15 minutes of your time each day.
The most important condition is cleanliness. It is the guarantee of your health. First of all, you should always wash your hands before you putting on or taking off your contacts. Secondly, do not use oily cosmetics, soap, cream, lotions, before touching the lenses.

Contact lenses are made of many different types of plastic, but they are divided into 2 main groups:
- soft
- rigid gas permeable (RGP)
Soft contact lenses contain 25% to 79% water, are easy to adapt to and are quite comfortable.
Rigid gas permeable contacts provide better visual acuity, durability, and deposit resistance than soft contact lenses. Here’s a look at a comparison of different contact lenses. You choose which one is right for you.
Daily-wear soft lenses
These contacts are made of soft, flexible plastics that allow oxygen to reach the eyes. They are easy to adjust to and quite comfortable. They are also available in tints and bifocals.
Daily-wear disposable soft lenses
Daily disposable contact lenses are the ultimate in convenience. There is no need to clean, disinfect, or add enzymes to the lenses–just throw them away after each use. You simply replace it with a fresh, new, and sterile pair every morning. They are ideal for traveling because there is no need to transport contact lens solutions or cases. They are also ideal for sports because there is much less concern over the possibility of losing a contact lens.

Colored or tinted lenses are very common today, especially when you consider the number of advancements made in lens technology in the last two decades. The most common uses of them are for cosmetic purposes, along with vision correction. The average user of a colored lens is often not looking to attract overt attention to themselves or the fact that they are wearing the lenses in the first place.
Contact lenses aren’t just for seeing better. They’re for looking better too. In fact, some people who don’t even need vision correction wear tinted contact lenses as a way to change their look.
Are you having trouble choosing the right contact lens color? Well today’s tinted lenses allow you to enhance your natural eye color – making the blue bluer or the green greener – or change it altogether. There are four types of colored contact lenses: visibility tints, enhancement tints, opaque color tints and light-filtering tints to help you choose the best contact lens color.

People thought that the contact lenses are just like prescription drugs, you cannot purchase them without a prescription written in illegible language by a doctor who uses thick horn rimmed glasses. But the reality is different, the market is flooded with non prescription contact lenses which come with a zero diopter rating and can be used by anyone.
But the natural question is that if one does not have any eye problems, why would he wear contact lenses at all? The companies have moved on from making simple transparent contact lenses and now you can easily purchase color tinted contact lenses. These color contact lenses can be used to change the color of the pupil of your eye. You can make your eyes look watery, bright or even funky.

What causes dry eyes from contact lenses?
Dry Eye Syndrome Symptoms
Persistent dryness, scratching and burning in your eyes are signs of dry eye syndrome. These symptoms alone may prompt your eye doctor to diagnose dry eye syndrome.
But sometimes your eye doctor may want to measure the amount of tears in your eyes. A thin strip of filter paper placed under the lower eyelid, called a Schirmer test, is one way to measure tear production.
Another symptom of dry eyes is a “foreign body sensation”, the feeling that something is in the eye. And it may seem odd, but sometimes watery eyes can result from dry eye syndrome, because the excessive dryness works to overstimulate production of the watery component of your eye’s tears.
According to the Schepens Eye Research Institute in Boston, approximately 10 million people in the United States suffer from Dry Eyes. One risk factor for dry eyes that might be surprising is that wearing contact lenses can actually cause Dry Eyes. Why is it that contact lenses can cause Dry Eyes? Simply stated, Dry Eyes can occur if you either don’t have a sufficient quantity of tears or if the composition of the tears you do have is not correct.
