Make Contact with a Whole New World

The Benefits of Contact Lenses

While glasses are still generally the preferred choice for vision correction, contact lenses have seen a significant rise in popularity, particularly over the past two decades. They have proven themselves invaluable in a number of lifestyle areas such as sports, leisure, and social activities.

SPORTY CONVENIENCE

For those of us who enjoy outdoor sports, such as hiking, biking and running, contact lenses provide crisp, all-round vision without any risk of fogging. They’re also far superior in wet conditions, where mud and rain spatter can impair visibility through glasses to the point where they have to be removed and cleaned. This is certainly not the case with contact lenses.

When it comes to other leisure activities, contact lenses are also often the more practical alternative. Boat rides are notorious for having glasses whipped off your face in sudden gusts of wind – a sure way to put a damper on a fun day out. Game drives are great for observing animals up close and personal, often through a pair of binoculars. Contact lenses aid this experience by reducing peripheral light and distortion that would be apparent when using binoculars while wearing glasses. As for the cinema, contact lenses are a must if you plan on treating yourself to a 3D movie or IMAX production. The 3D glasses can interfere with prescription glasses, detracting from the experience.

FOR SOCIAL-LENSING

Then there’s the social aspect. Some people feel more confident in their appearance when wearing contact lenses. Others believe they engage better in eyeto-eye conversations when wearing contact lenses rather than glasses. It’s a personal thing and people appreciate having the choice.

Another fun perk of contact lenses is that you can wear an unlimited range of fashionable, non-prescription sunglasses, rather than being confined to just one prescription pair.

While the advantages of contact lenses are numerous, glasses will always have their place. That is why most people own a pair of glasses as well as contact lenses. One of the main reasons is that glasses can “relax” your eyes after wearing contact lenses for an extended period of time – especially if you’re catching up on some reading before going to sleep.

And that’s the best part of modern technology: There’s always an option. Especially for those times when you misplace your glasses!
