For people who are considering buying contact lenses.
When you consider buying contact lenses, there are many things you might want to take into account. Such as what kind of lenses you should buy? Soft lenses or RGP lenses, is it easy to get an infection? What should I check when buying contact lenses? In this part, I will tell you all I know.
There are many kinds of contact lenses we can get. However, there are two basic types: soft lenses and hard lenses. Soft lenses provide a comfortable wearing experience, while hard lenses provide clear vision.
As to the second problem, I have to say if you are cautious about cleaning, it wouldn’t be that easy to take place. Most contact lens brands have their own sterile solution and cleaning, you should remember to clean it after daily use. Another thing to point out is don’t borrow your lens to others. It can result in infection or allergy.
When you decide to buy a contact lens, you should check outoxygen permeability,Central thickness and water content. These three parameters are the top 3 things you should take into consideration. High oxygen permeability can prevent your eyes from feeling dry. The thinner the central thickness is, the more comfortable you may feel. As for water content, the suitable range is around 30%. If it is higher than that, your eyes may easily feel dry.
