Soft Contact Lenses
There are many different types of contact lenses, but soft lenses are some of the most popular. Soft lenses are relatively comfortable and easy to adjust to because they are made from hydrogel plastic. This type of plastic allows a good flow of oxygen, which helps maintain the cornea’s health.
Soft lenses come in many styles:
Daily wear
Contact lenses are meant to be worn during the day and removed before you go to bed. They are also generally disposable, with various styles replaceable daily, weekly, or monthly.
Extended wear
Contact lenses are designed to be worn continuously, day and night. Many styles can be worn up to a month but removed at least once a week to be cleaned.
Toric
Contact lenses are designed to correct vision for those with astigmatism. These soft lenses are also available as disposable or extended wear lenses.
