What Everybody Ought to Know about Contact Lenses

Beautiful eyes concealed by glasses, make-up that cannot be appreciated due to the same ugly glasses or wanting to wear sunglasses and not being able to? There’s a simple solution for all of these: contact lenses.Contact lenses can get rid of all these problems you’re having. But, same as with every saving solution, they do have advantages and disadvantages.If you want contact lenses, either for medical purposes or just for changing the color of your eyes, you ought to have a medical control first and, in the case of the medical lenses, you must get a diopter prescription and type of lenses recommendation. The lenses you can use have a diopter now ranging from 26 up to -26.Type of contact lenses:-Those which can be worn 10 – 12 hours a day and must be removed at the end of the day; they have a 2 year life-cycle;-Another type of lenses has a greater concentration of water and can be worn 24 hours a day; they have a life-cycle of 1 month;-Esthetic lenses, that change the color of your eyes, are part of the first category (worn from 8-10 hours a day) and come in a wide variety of colors.Advantages of wearing contact lenses:-The first and most obvious advantage is the aesthetical one;-Contact lenses are a good alternative for people with high diopter prescription, providing them with an improved visual field range;-You can wear them with sunglasses;-You can combine medical lenses with aesthetical ones;-For women, they can apply make-up easier and with more success.The disadvantages of contact lenses are usually patient related and appear when the rules of hygiene and usage, recommended by the ophthalmologist, are not respected. Every user of contact lenses must be aware of those certain rules and obey them:-Avoid as much as you can places with dust, sand, smoke;-Going to the beach or pool using contact lenses is not recommended (it can even hurt the eye);-Even if you do wear lenses, you must not give up your glasses for good, as they can be an alternative for after you take the lenses off (remember, 8 to 10 hours is the usual wearing time).The effect of contact lenses on the physical look of a person is, by all means, great. I met people who said that after they gave up glasses and started using contact lenses they became different people altogether. The sense of freedom is not only in your mind, but it also means a great improvement to the field of view (which jumps to 180 degrees, when it gets rid of the glasses that surround the eyes). There are visual deficiencies that can be corrected only with glasses and others who have lenses as a recommended remedy. Those who prefer colored lenses must choose them carefully and usually with the help from a specialized doctor to avoid the risk of artificial and fixed sight.
