CHOOSE THE RIGHT KIND OF CONTACT LENSES
With Time, different types of contact lenses are available. You can choose any according to your preferences if you know about them well. Here you can learn more about their features:
Rigid Gas-Permeable Contact Lenses
Their semi-flexible plastic membranes allow oxygen to pass through to the eyes' surface to breathe.
They are comfortable to wear, thus making it easier to adjust with them by the user.
Relatively easy to care for and provide long-term use.
The only drawback is that they can easily slip away from the centre of the eye due to a lack of airtight suction because of the semi-permeable membrane.
Daily Soft Contact Lenses
They are available for daily use as bifocals and in various tints.
Do not correct every type of vision disorder if diagnosed.
It may not provide the same level of sharpness as rigid gas-permeable contact lenses.
Their flexibility makes them wear out more quickly than RGPs, thus requiring more frequent replacement.
Extended-Use Contact Lenses
You can wear them overnight and for an extended period of time.
Available in soft and rigid gas permeable varieties and can be worn up to a whole month.
But require regular visits with an optometrist to avoid complication risks.
Disposable Extended-Wear Contact Lenses
You can wear soft-style lenses for up to six days.
Do come in bifocal styles but may not be ideal for correcting all types of ocular issues.
They can be worn for up to 30 days, but shortening the wear time is suggested to reduce the risk of eye infection compared to 30-day extended-use contacts.
Soft Planned Replacement (Daily-Wear) Contact Lenses
You can schedule their replacement bi-weekly, monthly, or quarterly by consulting with your optometrist.
They can be worn for extended periods, thus reducing the process of cleaning and disinfecting.
