The Facts and fiction about contact lenses
Contact lenses require a lot of care and attention
Today’s Contacts are simple and easy to live with. The best contact lenses just require one multi purpose solution that’s good for rubbing, rinsing and storing your lenses. With a daily disposable you don’t even have to do this as you wear them for a day and toss them away
I’ve heard you get a lot of eye infections with contacts.
Research has shown that most eye health problems are related to poor cleaning routines and basic lens care. So stick to the manufactures instructions and never share lenses or lens cases and you should be just fine
Will I be able to feel the contact in my eyes?
The best contact lenses are really comfortable and easy to wear. They only require a few minutes to get used too and there is a whole range of wetting solutions to make them almost impossible to detect
Can contacts get lost in my eye?
It’s just not possible to loose your lenses as the eye has a thin membrane connecting through to your eyelids, which stops the lens moving from the front of the eye.
What if I only wear glasses for driving?
Experience shows that wearing contacts and experiencing clearer vision for all your other activities is a great benefit. The flexibility, freedom and comfort means thet you can do what you want with out the hassle of glasses.
Friends have told me that the best contact lenses are expensive.
The truth is with Internet suppliers they are now very affordable. The best internet companies will supply the same brands as you get in Main Street, for a lot less.
