The right types of contact lenses and colours | All About Vision

Are you considering getting contacts? There are many different types available these days. In order to choose the pair that works for you, you'll need to take quite a few things into consideration.

Here are a few questions you may want to consider:

  • How often do you plan to wear contacts?
  • How much time/effort will you put into caring for your contacts?
  • How clear do you need your vision to be?
  • Do you plan to leave your contacts in overnight?
  • Do you want colored contacts?
  • Do you have allergies or dry eyes?
  • Is cost a factor?
  • Do you need bifocals?

These are all things to think about. Most people wear soft contacts, which are more comfortable than hard lenses, which are called rigid gas permeable contacts. However, rigid gas permeable contacts may provide better vision enhancement.

It's also important to understand the necessity for proper contact care, which includes removing and cleaning lenses. Although you can wear contacts overnight, this can increase the chances of you developing issues such as infections or corneal scratches.

Ask your Bellingham, WA eye doctor for more information.
