The soft contact lenses are yours if you do not like the rigid or
the hard ones. These lenses are very easy to adjust and are available with extra
features such as colored lens, disposable or replacement types, extended wear
type, etc. Generally, the soft contact lenses stop the passing of the ultra-violet
rays. Of course, the underlying fact is that these are costlier than the rigid
ones.
The raw material for all the contact lenses is polymers. The main point of
difference is the degree of oxygen that can permeate though the lenses into
your cornea. This difference makes the lenses hard or soft contact lenses. The
latter helps you in the free and instant movement of the eyeball. The penetration
of the eye fluid in easier here and your eyes instantly adjust to these lenses.
The soft contact lenses are of the disposable kind. You can use them either
for a day and throw away or even after a single use. These do not require cleaning
or maintenance. Of course, you pay slightly more for these benefits. Some of
these are for using for a fortnight or even for a month. You have to take them
off at night, clean and wear them the next day. Some again, are for extended
wear, which means you need not take them off at night. You only have to dispose
them after the said period expires.
The soft contact lenses are extremely sensitive. Sometimes they may take in
any pollution from your hands and cause irritation in your eyes when you wear
them. Sometime any residue of the cleaning solution forms blockades in your
vision. Another major disadvantage is that they can break at anytime given their
tender quality. You need to be extra careful while handling these delicate lenses.
You have to take up certain precautions while using the soft contact lenses.
The first major one is to use them only if your doctor prescribes you to do
so. Next, you should use and maintain them as per your doctor's instructions.
In your best interests, take them off while swimming to avoid infections.
