alternative to glasses. They have different purposes and are suitable for all
groups. With time, contact lenses have become more progressed and improved, and
such improvements have resulted in a wide variety of lenses that are defined by
their uses, life span, and characteristics.
Different Purposes
Contact lenses have different uses- decorative, cosmetic,
therapeutic, and optical. Optical lenses are those that are used to correct the
vision, therapeutic lenses help in the work of medicines which are used for
treating eye conditions, cosmetic lenses help to enhance or change the wearer’s
natural eye color and alter the appearance of the eyes, and decorative lenses
are colored contacts that are used for fun which comes in various patterns for
producing various effects.
Contact Lenses Vs. Glasses
Contact lenses provide functional benefits over glasses,
especially in areas such as work-in humid climate, sports, and occupations
where glasses are not compatible and are inconvenient with the equipment
utilized, especially headgears. Below are some benefits that contact lenses
provide over glasses.
- Comfortable-
First and foremost, contact lenses are more comfortable to wear as these,
unlike glasses, do not press or rub against the temple and ears, or pinch
the nose. Glasses, on the other hand, slide down the nose during
perspiration
- Unaffected
by Weather- The best part about using contact lenses is that these will
not fog up during the cold or get splattered during rain. Besides, these
will not steam up from perspiration or body heat
- Peripheral
Vision- Contact lenses offer a better and wider peripheral vision compared
to glasses. It moves along with the eyes, and the wearer looks through the
lens’s clearest part- the optic zone. The frames on the glass, on the
contrary, block the wearer’s peripheral vision, and when they move their
eyes towards the side, they do not view through the optical center,
thereby causing distorted and blurred vision
- Do
not Break Easily- The frames of the glasses are likely to crack or break
on a number of occasions. The wearer may fall off their bike, may
accidentally slip, or drop it on the ground. During such situations, there
is no scope for contact lenses to break. As long as the wearer wears the
lenses properly and cares for the same, they will not experience such
damage. Though there is a possibility for lenses to tear or break, it is
harder to destroy them in comparison to glasses
- Ideal
for Sports and Exercise- No matter the type, exercise, and sports include
enough movements. These movements may lead to real slipping annoyance,
especially when one wears glasses. Often, these fog up immensely with a
minimal amount of sweating. Contact lenses, unlike glasses, move with the
wearer perfectly. This way, they can easily focus on completely enjoying
their activity or sport. Moreover, they do not fog up or mist while
playing games or during a workout
- Feel
More Confident- Often, there are several negative stereotypes about those
who wear glasses. Often, they may feel self-conscious or unattractive.
Contact lenses are not noticeable; thus, the uneasiness about the need for
vision correction disappears. Again, glasses may clash with the wearer’s
overall look or outfit. But contact lenses will never detract the wearer
from their look or outfit. They will offer style support and vision
correction simultaneously
- Aesthetic
Benefits- The good news is, with contact lenses, the wearer can emphasize
their natural beauty. Today lenses are available in multiple colors, thus
letting the wearer experiment with various eye colors. Moreover, they can
also pick transparent lenses for highlighting their natural eye color
