Contact lenses doesn’t only comes into one types and style. Let us see here what are the other types of contact lenses we can choose and use.
Soft Contact Lenses – this kind of contact lenses are the most convenient to wear in the eye. This is produced from pliable polymer and water. They are also more vulnerable to contaminants because they are so highly permeable. They also have a tendency to dry out eyes since the water also makes the lenses permeable to water, and therefore, draws water away from the eye’s tear film.
Hard contact lenses – this are most obsolete. This is also the first type of contact lens that ever developed. They are also the smallest and the hardest type of contact lens available.
Rigid Gas Permeable Contact Lenses – are the type of contact lenses that are best of both worlds that combines the sturdiness and of hard contacts with the oxygen permeability of soft contacts. This can also last for years if use properly and cared.
Disposable lenses – this are the maintenance free. These are suit for those people who don’t want to get bothered in cleaning it. This can be tossed out after being worn. The wear schedule of this only varies from daily, weekly, to monthly replacement requirements.
