How Do You Choose between Contacts and Eyeglasses?
March 26th, 2009While plenty of people still wear eyeglasses, there appears to be little doubt that they are on the way out. There is no doubt that positioning them into your eyes and taking them out again can be formidable initially, but once you’re used to it they are lots more favorable than having bulky eyeglasses on your face, not to mention almost invisible, even to people who get up close to your eyes.
Vanity is not the main cause to wear contacts, though. For many people, it is just more practical - they work better for sport or any kind of manual work, for example, where specs could easily get damaged. contact lenses are also not subject to the many things that can go wrong with eyeglasses, such as shattering, breaking, or being affected by the weather (when they get rained down on, for example).
If you’re just going into the world of contacts, though, it can seem like a bit of a labyrinth. What should you choose? Hard lenses or soft? Daily lenses or monthly? Each selection comes with its rewards and disadvantages.
The easiest doubt to tackle is probably that of hard lenses. While hard lenses are still used in many sections of the planet, this is chiefly down to grounds of habit - individuals who are already using them are unlikely to exchange. To the new user, hard lenses offer no advantages, and they are incredibly uncomfortable until you get used to them. It is much better to just go with soft lenses.
When it gets to the question of whether daily expendable lenses are better, however, there is some dispute. Once you factor in the cost of cleaning solutions for monthly lens systems, there is little difference in price, but some people simply choose not to buy and throw away so many lenses. Ultimately, though, daily disposables tend to be thinner and therefore more comfortable, as well as costing you less if you happen to lose one, which makes them better suited to the beginner.
