What are my options?
There are many contact lens options available. Your eye care provider will take your lifestyle and vision correction needs into consideration when helping you select the right lenses for your eyes.
Here are some of the most common contact lens types:- Hard contact lenses – Hard contact lenses are rigid gas permeable. This means that they are porous enough to allow oxygen to enter through to the cornea. Hard contact lenses keep their shape on the eye. As such, they are sometimes recommended to curb the progression of nearsightedness in younger wearers.
- Soft contact lenses – Soft contact lenses are popular because they are very comfortable for the wearer. Soft contact lenses don't "pop out" the way hard lenses occasionally might. Soft lenses are appropriate to correct near and farsightedness and astigmatism.
- Colored contact lenses – These are worn to enhance or completely change the visual color of the iris. They are still prescription contact lenses, however, and need to be treated with the same care you would give to regular lenses. Many — but not all — brands of contact lens companies offer colored lens options.
- Daily disposable contact lenses – Designed to be worn once and discarded after each use. Because you start with a fresh, sterile lens every day, they offer the highest level of comfort and the lowest risk of infection. These lenses are especially recommended for patients with sensitive eyes and for children, as they eliminate the need for cleaning and reduce the chance of improper lens care.
- Biweekly/Monthly contact lenses – Designed for repeated daily wear and replaced every two weeks or once a month, depending on the prescribed lens. Proper cleaning, disinfection, and storage are required to maintain lens safety and eye health. When worn and cared for correctly, these lenses can provide reliable vision correction at a more affordable price than daily disposable contact lenses.
