Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main differences between glasses and contact lenses?

Glasses and contact lenses both correct vision, but they offer different benefits depending on your needs and preferences. Glasses are low-maintenance, easy to put on and take off and they come in various styles to match your personal look. They also offer some protection from environmental factors like wind and dust. Contact lenses, on the other hand, sit directly on the eye and provide a more natural field of vision without any frames blocking your peripheral sight. They are often preferred for physical activities and sports, as they won’t slip or fog up like glasses can. However, contacts do require careful cleaning and handling to avoid eye infections.
How do I decide whether glasses or contact lenses are right for me?

Deciding between glasses and contact lenses depends on factors like your lifestyle, comfort and vision needs. Glasses may be better suited for individuals looking for an easy-to-use option with minimal maintenance, while contact lenses can be a more convenient choice for those with active lifestyles or who want a frameless look. Comfort is also a consideration—some people prefer glasses because they don’t like the sensation of wearing contact lenses, while others enjoy the natural feel of contacts. It’s a good idea to discuss your preferences with your optometrist, who can help you explore the options based on your vision and lifestyle.
Are contact lenses safe to wear every day?

Yes, contact lenses are safe to wear daily as long as they are used properly. It’s important to follow the care instructions provided by your optometrist, including cleaning and storing your lenses correctly to prevent eye infections. Some contact lenses are designed for daily wear, while others are suitable for extended wear, but you should always consult your optometrist about how long you can safely wear your lenses each day. Proper hygiene, like washing your hands before handling your lenses, is crucial. Regular eye check-ups are also recommended to ensure your eyes stay healthy while using contact lenses.
