Why wear contacts lenses? Top benefits of contacts

Question 1

How long do contacts last?

Accepted Answer

Contact lenses will always have a length of time they're approved to be worn. The most common lengths of time you'll see will be daily disposables, two-week, and monthly. Daily disposible contact lenses shouldn't be re-used—they need to be replaced daily and thrown away after each use. Two-week and monthly lenses need to be disinfected after each use and then thrown away after their approved length of wear. Be sure to follow the approved length of wear time—it helps keep your eyes safe and comfortable.

Question 2

Are contacts bad for your eyes?

Accepted Answer

As long as you follow your doctor's guidance on the wear and care of your contact lenses, simply wearing them shouldn't be harmful to your eyes. However, not following care instructions from your eye doctor can result in serious damage, including irritation, corneal abrasions, and eye infections.

Question 3

I don't need glasses all the time. Why should I wear contact lenses?

Accepted Answer

Contacts can be a great part-time solution if you're looking for an alternative to glasses in certain situations. They can be comfortable and convenient, for example, if you know you'll be wearing a hat, putting on safety goggles at work, or playing sports, you can enjoy the benefits of clear vision without worrying about glasses getting in the way or breaking.

Question 4

How to get contacts?

Accepted Answer

To get contact lenses, you need a prescription. To get one, you'll need to book an eye exam and contact lens fitting with an eye doctor. They will assess whether contacts are right for you, and if so, provide a prescription unique to your eyes. After that, you can choose to buy your lenses from any authorized retailer.
