Selecting between Specs and Contact Lenses
While plenty of people still wear spectacles, there is no question that they’re on the way out. There is no doubt that casting them in your eyes and taking them out again can be frightening at first, but once you are used to it they are much more convenient than having bulky glasses on your face, not to mention almost invisible, even to people who get up close to your eyes.
Vanity is not the lone cause to don contacts, though. For many people, it is merely more practical - they work better for sport or any kind of manual work, for example, where spectacles could easily get damaged. contact lenses are also not subject to the many things that can go wrong with eyeglasses, such as smashing, busting, or being affected by the weather conditions (when they get rained on, for example).
If you are just embarking into the domain of contacts, though, it can feel like a bit of a labyrinth. What should you have? Hard lenses or soft? Daily lenses or monthly? Each pick comes with its rewards and disfavours.
The simplest query to deal with is believably that of hard lenses. While hard lenses are still used in many parts of the planet, this is primarily down to reasons of habit - people who are already using them are unlikely to convert. To the new user, hard lenses offer no advantages, and they are incredibly irritating until you get used to them. It is much better to simply go with soft lenses.
When it comes to the doubt of whether daily expendable lenses are better, however, there is some dispute. Once you factor in the cost of cleaning solutions for monthly lenses, there is little deviation in cost, but some people simply favor not to buy and throw away so many lenses. Ultimately, though, daily disposables tend to be thinner and therefore more comfortable, as well as costing you less if you happen to lose one, which makes them better suited to the beginner.
