Advantages and disadvantages of contact lenses ?!


Question: Advantages and disadvantages of contact lenses ?
I am sick of wearing my glasses. I am thinking of getting contact lenses. But some people told me that they are harmful (i dont think so). So those who wear lenses can you tell me the advantages and disadvantages of lenses over spects ?

Answers:

Ok. I've been wearing corrective lenses for 20 years. I've worn glasses for all but 4 of those years. Contacts are great! They are simple, sometimes less expensive, they don't get scratched up and you don't have to worry about the fashion of them like with glasses. They do take a bit of maintenance cleaning as do glasses but its easy. Don't have to worry about where you've misplaced them. HOWEVER like so many other's I've made the mistake of taking the convenience of them for granted. Myself and thousands of others get too comfortable wearing them and stop taking them out, sleeping with them and basically wearing them as though they were "your eyes" That (in me) caused an infection. I almost lost my eye. And whenever I took them out my eyes were so adjusted to wearing them always that whenever I took them out it felt like there was something in my eyes and they hurt. So if u plan on getting them, I overall think it is a great idea, just research and don't abuse them like so many others.

Hello,

You should speak with your eye care professional about the possibility of wearing contact lenses. While contact lenses are perfectly safe in most cases, they are a prescribed medical device and deciding to wear them requires professional consultation. An eye care professional will be able to determine if contacts will work for you based on your vision needs and lifestyle.

Best of luck!

Contact lenses are great but need looking after. There are quite a few different sorts on the market and a good optician will spend time making sure you have the ones most suitable for your eyes and how long you want to wear them for. They will do no damage to your eyes as long as you dont over wear them and for me its lenses during the day and glasses at night time. I went for daily disposables so its great to just throw them away each night and not have to mess about with solutions etc.



There is not harm wearing contact lenses but you need to be a bit careful while wearing contact lenses. Please consult with the optician or the optometrist before using it and there will be able to provide you with all the information on how to use contact lenses.

All the best!
