New contact lenses

Exciting! Getting new contact lenses can be a great way to refresh your vision and update your look. Here are some things to consider when getting new contact lenses:

Types of Contact Lenses:

  1. Soft Contact Lenses: Made of soft, flexible plastic, these lenses are comfortable and easy to wear.
  2. Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Contact Lenses: Thicker and more durable than soft lenses, RGP lenses are great for people with astigmatism or irregularly shaped corneas.
  3. Daily Disposable Contact Lenses: These lenses are designed to be worn for one day and then thrown away, making them a great option for people who want to avoid cleaning and storing lenses.
  4. Toric Contact Lenses: Shaped like a torus (a doughnut), these lenses are designed for people with astigmatism.
  5. Color Contact Lenses: These lenses can change the color of your eyes or enhance your natural eye color.

Things to Consider:

  1. Prescription: Make sure your prescription is up to date and accurate.
  2. Lens Material: Choose a lens material that's comfortable for your eyes and suitable for your lifestyle.
  3. Wearing Schedule: Decide how often you want to wear your lenses: daily, weekly, or monthly.
  4. Lens Care: Consider the level of care required for your lenses: daily cleaning and disinfecting, or disposable lenses.
  5. Cost: Contact lenses can vary in price depending on the type, material, and brand.
