While many people still wear glasses, there seems little doubt that they’re on the way out. There’s no doubt that putting them in your eyes and taking them out again can be a little scary at first, but once you’re used to it they are far more favorable than having bulky spectacles on your face, not to mention almost invisible, even to people who get close to your eyes.
Vanity isn’t the only reason to get into contacts, though. For a lot of people, it is just more practical – they work better for sport or any kind of manual work, for example, where spectacles could easily get damaged. contact lenses are also not subject to the many things that can go wrong with eyeglasses, such as cracking, busting, or being affected by the weather conditions (when they get rained down on, for example).
If you’re just entering the world of contact lenses, though, it can seem like a bit of a labyrinth. What should you choose? Hard lenses or soft? Daily lenses or monthly? Each selection comes with its rewards and disfavours.
The simplest doubt to deal with is believably that of hard lens systems. While hard lenses are still in use in many parts of the world, this is chiefly down to grounds of habit – people who are already using them are unlikely to change over. To the new user, hard lenses offer no advantages, and they are incredibly irritating until you get used to them. It is much better to merely go with soft lenses.
When it gets to the question of whether daily expendable lenses are better, however, there is some controversy. Once you factor in the price of cleansing solutions for monthly lens systems, there is little deviation in price, but some people simply favor not to buy and throw away so many lenses. In The End, though, daily disposables tend to be thinner and therefore more comfortable, as well as costing you less if you happen to lose one, which makes them better suited to the beginner.
