Contact lenses cannot correct all problems. There are more options today for choosing contacts than ever before. Rigid and soft options are available for extended wear, disposable wear, planned replacement, bifocal, and toric lenses. They are the easiest to care for, durable, and are a low risk for causing infections. These are hard to dislodge which makes them good for sports.
Replacement is needed once a year.
There is an increased risk for infection when wearing these lenses. Replacement is needed once a year and they are available in rigid gas permeable or soft lenses. Deposit buildup is minimal. Vision is not as sharp with these as with rigid gas permeable lenses. No matter how good the fit, at times it can be difficult to wear contact lenses.
