Tips for Choosing Contact Lenses

There are several types of contact lenses market and often difficult to choose the best for us. So in this post, I give few tips and recommendations when choosing contact lenses.

Soft Contact Lenses

The disposable soft contact lenses may be of four different types: everyday, weekly, biweekly, monthly and cosmetic.

For contact lenses with daily disposable, they can be in the eyes a maximum of 12 hours. Significantly, you can not sleep with these lenses on.

When used a lens a day, require no maintenance, you simply remove them and undone.

The advantage of daily disposable soft lenses is very comfortable. All you have to do with them is wearing it and undone by the end of the day. The disadvantage they have very high in cost.

For the weekly or biweekly disposable contact lenses, you can wear a straight week without having to remove them at night. At the end of the week or fortnight, depending on the lens, you should rest a day before starting the cycle again. Cheaper than daily disposables, these lenses are ideal for frequent travelers because they save having to take it off.

There are two types in case of contact lenses monthly disposable: those that can be used continuously for a month and that must be removed after ten hours of use. The latter should be cleaned and stored in containers and can be used to set the next morning for a month.

It is still cheaper than a month.

Conventional Soft Contact Lenses

These lenses can last up to two years if eyes are removed every ten hours. It is the cheapest option because of its duration and corrected all defects, even used for high rankings that fail to correct the disposable.

Semi-rigid contact lenses

The main thing is these lenses offer very good visual quality and has long lasting, plus allows the eye to be oxygenated.

What you have to keep in mind if you decide to semi-rigid lenses is that they require some adaptation. It is necessary polished lens every two years to keep them in good condition, which can last many years.
