Question 1

Do contact lenses hurt?

Accepted Answer

No – soft lenses are extremely comfortable straight away. After the first few hours they are usually unnoticeable.

Question 2

Can Contacts get lost behind your eye?

Accepted Answer

No – that is a Myth. There is a membrane that covers the eye and connects to the inside of the eyelid so it is physically impossible.

Question 3

How often will I need new ones?

Accepted Answer

We recommend at least monthly replacement lenses wherever possible to keep inflammation down in the eyes. Your spectacle prescription will certainly not change more rapidly wearing contact lenses. However, lenses do deteriorate so any potential problems are definitely reduced with frequent replacement of the lenses.

How much do contact lenses cost?

Accepted Answer

Contact Lenses prices start from $24.95 / box of 6.
