Many people wear contact lenses – probably more than you realize. Although LASIK surgery has helped a lot of people put down their glasses or stop wearing them, wearing contacts has become easier with better technology. For example, people that wear bi-focals or people that have astigmatism can wear contacts now.
Finding the best price for daily wear contact lenses can be challenging. There are lot of manufacturers and retail outlets online.
There are several types and contact lens technology is getting more and more high tech:
- Bifocal contacts
- Multifocal contacts
- Monovision lenses
- Moisturizing contacts
- UV protection contact lenses
- Correction for astigmatism
Toric contact lenses are for astigmatism. It’s not “a stigmatism” but “astigmatism.” Astigmatism occurs when the cornea is shaped more like a football than a baseball, which is the normal shape of an eye. Your eye doctor can prescribe toric contact lenses for astigmatism that line up correctly in you eyes.
Other kinds are:
- Colored contacts
- Special effects contact lenses
- Halloween contact lenses
- Novelty
- Cat eye
- Opaque
- Wild eyes
- Costume contact lenses
- Black
- Fashion contact lenses
Silicone hydrogel is a permeable plastic that allows six to seven times more oxygen to reach the cornea than regular soft lenses. About half of the contacts made now are silicone hydrogel.
Some Contact Lens Manufacturers Are:
- Bausch & Lomb
- Focus
- Biomedics
- Bioflex
- Acuvue
- SofLens
- Durasoft
- O2 Optics
- Ciba Vision
- Johnson & Johnson
- Wesley Jessen
- Boston
- Opti-Free

- Always wash your hands before putting in or taking out lenses. Dry your hands with a towel. Do not use a facial tissue or paper towel that leaves tiny fibers on your hand.
- Rub your lenses when you clean them; soaking alone doesn’t remove debris that can irritate.
- Clean your lens case daily (use hot water). Let it air-dry, rinse with contact solution and fill it with fresh solution.
- Never top off old solution with new.
- Change or replace your contact case monthly.
- Keep your eyes moist and use re-wetting drops or artificial tears throughout the day.
If you wear disposables, get contact lenses for less. If you wear daily contact lenses or monthly contact lenses, get cheap contact lenses online. Like we said, there is a lot of competition, which is very good for you. With a little comparison shopping, you’ll be able to easily find the best deal out there.
