Soft Contact Lenses
Soft contact lenses are extremely comfortable and easy to apply. This type of contact lens stays in place and is easier to adjust than hard contact lenses. Soft contact lenses are made out of a flexible plastic that is combined with water to allow oxygen to flow through the contact lens and to the cornea. This increases comfort and helps maintain eye health. In most cases, soft contacts are used to correct myopia, also known as nearsightedness, hyperopia or farsightedness, astigmatism or blurred vision, and age related loss of close-up vision.
Soft lenses are disposable and there are varieties of soft lenses available that can be worn for several days before they need to be removed and discarded.
