Individuals who wear any type of contact lens overnight have a greater chance of developing infections in the cornea. These infections are often due to poor cleaning and lens care. Contact lenses move with your eye, allow a natural field of view, have no frames to obstruct your vision, and greatly reduce distortions. They do not fog up, like glasses, nor do they get splattered by mud or rain. Contact lenses do not get in the way of your activities.
Many people feel they look better in contact lenses.
Contact lenses, compared to eyeglasses, generally offer better sight. Contact lenses, when compared with glasses, require a longer initial examination, more follow-up visits to maintain eye health, and more time for lens care. If you are going to wear your lenses successfully, you will have to clean and store them properly, adhere to lens wearing schedules, and make appointments for follow-up care. If you are wearing disposable or planned replacement lenses, you will have to carefully follow the schedule for disposing your used lenses. Bifocal contact lenses continue to improve and work very well for some.
