What are the advantages of wearing contact lenses?

• They are invisible.
• Many wearers feel that contact lenses let their natural eyes shine through or don't like the appearance of eyeglasses.
• Best possible vision correction, no obstructions from eyeglass frames.
• Excellent peripheral vision
• No fogging up.
• No splattering during rain.
• Less hassle: don't get in the way during sports and other recreational activities.

What are the disadvantages?

• Contact lenses require getting used to. New soft lens wearers typically adjust to their lenses within a week. Rigid lenses generally require a somewhat longer adjustment period.
• Except for some disposable varities, almost all lenses require regular cleaning and disinfection, a process that, although requiring only a few minutes, is more than somepeople want to do.
• Some types of lenses increase your eyes' sensitivity to light.
