About UsContact Lenses and Eyeglasses FAQs
How do I decide between wearing contact lenses or eyeglasses for different activities?
Deciding between contact lenses and eyeglasses depends on your lifestyle and the specific activities you engage in. For instance, contact lenses might be more convenient for sports or outdoor activities as they offer a wider field of vision and don't fog up. On the other hand, eyeglasses are easier to manage for activities that involve a lot of screen time or reading, as they can help reduce eye strain. Some people find switching between contacts and glasses beneficial depending on their daily tasks, so having both options available might be the best solution.
What are the differences in care and maintenance between contact lenses and eyeglasses?
Contact lenses require a daily cleaning and disinfecting routine to ensure they remain free of bacteria and comfortable to wear. This process involves using specific solutions to clean and store the lenses. In contrast, eyeglasses require less maintenance, typically just needing regular cleaning with a soft cloth and lens cleaner to remove smudges. However, eyeglasses may require occasional adjustments to keep them fitting properly, and they are more prone to scratches and damage if not handled carefully.
Can wearing contact lenses cause dry eyes, and how can it be managed?
Yes, wearing contact lenses can sometimes lead to dry eyes, particularly if you spend long hours in air-conditioned environments or in front of screens. To manage dry eyes, you can use rewetting drops designed for contact lens wearers, take breaks from screen time, and ensure you blink regularly. If dry eyes persist, switching to a different type of lens, such as daily disposables or lenses with higher moisture content, might be necessary. It's important to consult your eye care professional if you experience persistent discomfort.
