Contact Lenses Vs. Eyeglasses – Reasons Why Contact Lenses Are Better Than Eyeglasses

Have you thought about trying contact lenses? If so you are not alone.. You need corrective lenses for farsightedness, nearsightedness astigmatism or presbyopia, contact lenses offer many advantages over eyeglasses. Below are the top five reasons that have been reported as to why contact lenses are the superior alternative to eyeglasses:

1)Contact Lenses are more natural looking than eyeglasses. Contact lenses are seemingly undetectable once in the eye leaving the contact lens wearer with a more natural appearance. Not only are they more aesthetically pleasing but because contact lenses sit directly on the cornea of your eye they provide more natural vision than eyeglasses. With eyeglasses, there is distance between the lenses and your eyes and this makes objects appear smaller or larger than they actually are;

2) Contact lenses provide better peripheral vision & a wider field of vision. Regardless of which direction you look, contact lenses move with your eyes so you are always looking through the optic zone – which is the clearest part of the contact lens. With eyeglasses, when you move your eyes off center you are no longer looking through the optical center of your lenses. Additionally, contact lenses provide you a wider field of view than eyeglasses. Eyeglass frames partially inhibit peripheral vision;

3) Contact lenses are more comfortable than eyeglasses. 91% of contact lens users report that they have little to no sensation that they are even wearing corrective lenses. Contact lenses will never slide off of your face. Your infant won’t be able to grab them off of your nose and throw them into a pile of snow while you’re trying to open the car door, in the dark – with a bag of groceries in one hand, the supermarket receipt in your mouth and the baby in your other arm. They’ll never pinch your nose or rub against your skin and ears like eyeglasses do;

4) Contact lenses are better for the active person as they’re unaffected by weather and body heat. Unlike glasses, contact lenses remain securely on your eyes – even during activities like running or skiing. Eyeglasses tend to hop, fall off or not fit under sunglasses or ski goggles. Contact lenses unlike glasses, will not steam up from body heat or with sudden temperature changes (ie: getting in and out of a car in the winter);

5) Contact lenses provide for a near unlimited choice of sunglasses. Try to find a good selection of sunglasses that will fit over your glasses. With contact lenses you can take advantage of the wonderful range of generic or designer sunglasses on the market today.

Which contact lenses are best for you?

There are basically two types of contact lenses: soft contact lenses and rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses. Both can correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Over 80 percent of contact lens wearers choose soft lenses.

The first step in determining the type of contact lens best suited for your visual needs is to have a complete eye exam and a contact lens evaluation with an Optometrist or Ophthalmologist.

If you already have a prescription or have additional questions then Ask the Doctor feature which can help you chose between the myriad of brand names and choices available on the market today.
