Contact Lenses.
The use of contact lenses has become increasingly popular with the
advent of disposable contact lenses (coloured and clear). Almost
everyone can wear contact lenses now. The change in contact lens
technology over the last ten years has been phenomenal. Before we used
to ask, are you suitable to wear contact lenses? Now we have to ask
which contact lenses will best suit you? The future of contact lens
technology is dependent on the introduction of better materials, which
can be worn for longer hours on a daily basis ,produced in any
prescription and colour ,without having any harmful effects on the eye.
It is very important to remind people to have their contacts lens fitted
by a qualified eye care professional as improperly fitted contact lenses
can have a detrimental effect on the eye.
The main advantages of contact lenses over spectacles are
- Better vision, spectacles tend to
distort the size and shape of what we see, this
distortion can be significantly reduced with the use of
contact lenses .
- Cosmetically, contact lenses do
not obscure one’s facial features as spectacles do.
- People with acute sinus problems
or sensitive nose that cannot support the weight of
spectacles find this a useful advantage.
- Medical, certain ocular conditions
are best managed by the use of contact lenses.
