What You Need to Know About Contact Lenses

You can’t just go to a pharmacy and buy contact lenses as a replacement for reading glasses you might find there. Contact lenses require a prescription and that needs to come from your eye doctor. Here are a few useful pearls of wisdom you should know before asking your eye doctor here at Buffalo's Best Opticians LLC for contacts.

Soft Contact Lenses

Soft contact lenses are the most frequently prescribed style of contact lenses because of the fact they are extremely comfortable. Soft contacts are now available for patients with astigmatism and dry eyes. Types of soft contact lenses include:

Daily Wear: These can be worn up to 12 hours but must be removed and cleaned at night
Extended Wear: These can be worn on a more flexible schedule than daily wear
Disposable: These are meant to be worn for a short time and then discarded
Color-Changing: These can change the color of your eyes even if vision correction is not needed

Hard Contact Lenses

Also called gas-permeable or rigid lenses, hard contact lenses offer sharper vision and can correct nearsightedness or astigmatism.

Benefits of Contact Lenses

Making the switch from glasses to contact lenses can be scary. While glasses provide excellent vision correction, they can also be an annoyance and can get in the way of participating in many activities. At Buffalo's Best Opticians LLC, our eye doctors will find a contact lens prescription that works best for you. Below are a few benefits of contact lenses.

Convenience: Wearing contact lenses is easy; all you need to do is put them in in the morning, and you are good to go for the rest of the day. You won’t have to worry about them falling out, breaking, or getting lost throughout the day. You also won’t have to worry about any weather elements that could cause fogging, water splashes, or steam.
Comfort: Contact lenses are designed to fit your eye and are made with materials that won’t cause discomfort. When wearing glasses, you could feel pain around your nose and behind your ears if you are wearing them too long.
Confidence: Often, people tend to be embarrassed by wearing glasses. Contact lenses will boost your self-confidence and even have various color options, allowing you to experiment with different eye colors.
Correct Vision: Contact lenses are designed to fit your specific needs. They can help correct refractive errors such as astigmatism, nearsightedness, and farsightedness.
Natural Vision: Because contact lenses are placed directly on your eye, they will not obstruct vision. They will give you better depth perception and sense of balance and won’t cause glare reflections like glasses.
