Contact lenses provide a little more freedom than glasses do. They still help you to see, just like your glasses do, but your face gets to be the center of attention instead of your glasses. Contact lenses can be worn by just about anyone, but they may not be right for you. Read below for information about contact lenses to see if they are right for you as well as tips on how to care for your lenses.
What Type Of Vision Do You Have?
The type of vision issue you have may hinder your ability to wear contact lenses. If you have had a previous eye surgery, or some type of eye injury, contact lenses may not be right for you.
How Old Are You?
Children that aren't yet responsible enough for contact lenses should not wear contacts. Contact lenses require proper care and use, which some children or even teenagers aren't yet responsible enough for these. Your optometrist may suggest waiting until you are a little older if you're on the young side.
What Type Of Work Do You Do?
The type of job you have could be a factor in wearing contact lenses. If you work around chemicals or around anything that could get into your eyes, contact lenses may not be right for you (at least while you're at work). You should stick with glasses or prescription safety glasses to protect your eyes while also being able to see. If something were to get into your eyes while you had your contacts in, it could injure your eye and your lenses.
Are You OK With Close Contact With Your Eyes?
Some people may not feel comfortable with getting so close to their own eyes. If you don't think you can touch your eyes in order to get your contact lenses in properly, contacts may not be for you. It does take some time to get it just right and may take a few times in order to get your contacts into your eyes, but you'll get it eventually.
