Disposable Contact Lenses
Disposable Overview
Disposable contact lenses are arguably the best invention ever created for glasses-wearing Canadians. In the past, people were relegated to just one look. Perhaps they felt too “bookish” or that they didn’t look good in glasses. Peripheral vision was distorted and, while they could see better than going without, they still didn’t get high-definition. First came hard contact lenses – which felt like putting a potato chip in one’s eye because it was quite literally made of glass! Today the most popular type of contact in Canada is soft contact lenses, which are so comfortable to wear they’re actually imperceptible on the eye. Best of all, once individuals have been measured by their optometrists, they can simply order their contact lenses online.
Benefits of Disposable Contacts
- Soft contact lenses provide an attractive alternative to glasses.
- Disposable contact lens wearers often report heightened levels of confidence.
- People can change the colour of their eyes with coloured or tinted contacts.
- There are no peripheral blockages or distortion when moving the head from side to side.
- Detail is extremely crisp and one can see every unique blade of grass or letter on paper.
- Soft contact lenses do not cause discomfort on the bridge of the nose, as some glasses do.
- Contact lenses do not “fog up” when moving indoors from our cold Canadian winters.
- In the summer, people can wear disposable contact lenses with their favorite sunglasses.
- Contact wearers can attend rowdy concerts more confidently, knowing their lenses won’t fall out.
Types of Disposable Contacts
There are a plethora of options for wearers of Canadian disposable contact lenses:
Daily disposable contact lenses are, as the name implies, changed on a daily basis. Around 40% of contact wearers choose this type because the lenses do not need to be cleaned, they never dry out and individuals are less likely to develop an eye infection.
Monthly disposable contact lenses is another popular type because they are less expensive, they come in different styles and colours, and they are less apt to rip. These lenses must be cleaned daily to prevent infection.
Coloured disposable contact lenses can be Enhancers (to brighten a light-coloured eye), Maskers (to completely change the eye colour such as from brown to blue), or Crazy (to create a cat eye, spirals in the eye or some other unconventional look).
Canadians who order contacts online have the best chance of finding cheap disposable contact lenses.
