Benefits of Wearing Contact Lenses
First-time Contact Lenses Users
Thinking about trying prescription contact lenses for the first time? Even if you love your eyewear, there are probably times when you feel they get in the way. Prescription contact lenses can give you real freedom from eyewear, whether you want them for sport, socializing or just to try out a great new look. Maybe you’re going on holiday and don’t want to be switching between glasses and prescription sunglasses, or maybe there’s a special occasion coming up and you don’t want to be wearing glasses in the all-important photos.
With prescription contact lenses, you have more choice. You can wear them occasionally, for specific activities where glasses can be a nuisance, or even all day and every day if you want a complete change.
They’re also incredibly easy to wear and look after. Soft prescription contact lenses are now so comfortable, that most people forget they’re wearing them after a few seconds. New multipurpose solutions make cleaning and storing your contact lenses quick and simple. And if you want completely hassle-free contact lenses, daily disposables allow you to just throw them away after each wear and open a fresh pair every time.
Prescription contact lenses have great benefits, for all sorts of activities and occasions. View a summary in the table below:
