It is only when you start wearing glasses that you realize that you need a good pair that will not only be helpful but also ensures comfort, especially if you have to wear it constantly. Like regular spectacles, contact lenses too help to improve your eyesight and if you do not want to change the way you look by wearing glasses then contacts are the ideal solution.
There are mainly two different types of lenses that are sold by different names; the hard contact lens and the soft lens. The soft-lenses are now what almost all people use, though the hard lenses are cheaper. The soft ones are flexible and are capable of absorbing the water from the eyes making them even softer and are known as hydrophilic. They are made from hydrogel polymer plastic that is said to contain between 35%to 75% water. The advantage of these lenses is they fit conveniently on to the eyeballs and the wearer does not even feel he has it on. They are also more comfortable than the hard lenses.
The contact lenses can correct both near and far sightedness and can also be used for bifocal vision. There are many companies manufacturing contact lenses and one of the options when buying a pair of lenses is the Acuvue Oasys contact lenses. These are disposable lenses, meaning that they are use and throw. You have to discard them after a certain period. The benefits of disposable lenses are that you are not prone to eye infections too often. Moreover these contact lenses are extremely famous for blocking the Ultraviolet rays, so even if you are out in the sun your eyes are protected by Acuvue Oasys. Another very beneficial feature of these lenses is that they help to keep the eyes moist all the time, while most other lenses do not have this feature. Dry eyes have always been a bone of contention in contact les wearers. They lenses can be worn by people working in various environments and people who have to sit in front of the computer all day long.
