What are Contact Lenses?
Contact lenses are thin pieces of flexible plastic that are used to treat both myopia or nearsightedness and hyperopia or farsightedness. They can also be used to lessen an astigmatism or a misshaping of the lens of the eye. Contact lenses are useful for patients of all ages and of most eye disorders or issues. Contact lenses can be either rigid or soft with soft lenses being the most common and widely used lens type.
Who Can Benefit from Contact Lenses?
Contact lenses are not age specific and are safe for young patients. In most cases, contact lenses can be used by nearly any age patient so long as the prescription is written by an optometrist and the prescription is carefully written for the patient and their specific eye needs. Contact lenses can be used by older patients and younger patients and nearly every patient in between. Your eye doctor is going to be able to tell you if your eyes are suited for contacts or if some other form of correction is better for your case.
In most cases, contact lenses can correct poor vision and can even work with eyes that might have astigmatism, dry spots and more. There are tons of different brands, types, and varieties of contact lens. Through a process of trial and error, nearly anyone can find a contact lens that works for their eyes and for their eye condition.
