Contact Lens Types
By Ken Wilssens
There are several contact lens types that you can have when you decide to get rid of wearing eyeglasses for your vision. One of the types is the soft contact lenses. These are made of hydrophilic plastics that absorb the liquid in your eye. You won’t have to worry about your eyes watering when you have these contacts in. The liquid that the lenses absorb help to keep them moist and prevent your eyes from drying out. However, you may experience a bit of dry eye at the end of the day if you have been wearing the contacts for many hours. This problem is alleviated very easily by using rewetting drops.
When you choose soft contact lens types, you will notice that they are very comfortable to wear. They are made up of about 60-70% water. If you rpefer to have contact lenses to last until your next visit to the eye doctor, these lenses will last about a year before you have to have them replaced. The most commonly worn lenses are the disposable ones that you throw away after the recommended period of time. You can also have soft contact lenses that you can wear for up to 30 days before you dispose of them and there are also varieties that you can wear when you sleep.
Another of the contact lens types is the gas permeable rigid contact lenses. These lenses are made of durable plastic that is slightly flexible. It allows the oxygen to reach the cornea of your eye. These lenses resist any type of deposit in the eye and are less likely to have any build up of bacteria on them. They are not of the disposable variety and will last a long time, often from one prescription to the next. You do need to have cleaning and disinfecting supplies, as these contacts need to be cleaned each night. You cannot leave them in while you sleep or go swimming.
No matter which of the contact lens types you choose, you can have them designed to suit your vision needs. Whether you need bifocals or lenses for astigmatism, the doctor will include the proper measurements in the prescription. There are also contact lenses for people who have kerotoconus and do not want to wear eyeglasses for their problem.
