What are contact lenses?
Contact lenses are small, curved pieces of plastic that sit on the surface of your eye. Despite having vision problems, many people admire lenses for a fancy outlook of the eyes as well.
However, when it comes to contact lenses, correct the vision by bending the light that enters the eye. Contact lens doctors in Lahore do recommend them after a contact eye exam in Lahore.
Moreover, people with refraction problems, find them quite handy, as it helps the eye to focus in the right way. Millions of doctors and contact lens specialists in Pakistan provide contact lenses for everyday use to avoid the use of glasses.
What makes people use contact lenses?
When it comes to the use of lenses for fashion alone, people use them to add a pop of color to their eyes. These lenses don't alter the refraction of light entering the eye.
Contrastingly, contact lenses are a great option for people who don't like to wear glasses. They can also be a good choice for those who play sports to avoid any additional hassle of managing glasses.
Are you looking for contact lenses?
Let me tell you, there are two main types of contact lenses:
- Soft contact lenses- made of a gel-like material that contains water. They're often the best option for first-time lens wearers because they're easy and comfortable to use.
- Hard or rigid contact lenses- made of a type of plastic called PMMA. They're not as popular as soft lenses because they're not as comfortable.
How to know that you need contact lenses?
