Contact lenses like glasses, are predominantly used to correct defective vision rather than a fashion accessory, but unlike glasses which are an object periphery to the eyes, contact lenses are found directly in the eye, with the thin disc placed over the delicate membrane.
A common misconception about contact lenses is that there is “one type to fit all” when in reality, the different eye problems people have will require different types of contact lenses to fix them.
Therefore, if you do need to use contact lenses, please make sure that you consult an optician who will be able to advise you more directly as to which kind of lenses you will need.
A common fallacy of the unwary consumer is that they opt for a leading brand name such as Purevision Contact Lens, and take this as “proof” as to the suitability of that product for their particular problem. This, as outlined and identified earlier within the article, is simply not good enough.
Whilst the cost of contact lenses is obviously a crucial factor (as unlike glasses, they need to be replaced on a frequent basis) it is important that you factor in your own personal preferences as well.
The “hard lenses” are extremely robust and durable lenses, which will last for quite a long time and are also very affordable as well. These offer the best value for money, in terms of the savings that they offer.
That said however, they are not particularly comfortable and they are not well suited or equipped for those people who suffer from particularly sensitive eye problems. This can be readily determined by asking your optician.
Some types of hard lenses have been specially treated so that they allow oxygen to get through the lenses, thereby helping to retain moisture within the eyes and Purevision Contact Lens offer great prices on this particular type of contact lens.
