Contact Lens Care
If you’ve already tried soft contact lenses and weren’t satisfied, don’t worry! Another contact lens option is hard contact lenses. These lenses can provide clear vision for most vision problems and are often more breathable than are soft contact lenses, which may reduce the risk of eye infections. Hard contact lenses need daily cleaning and disinfection, however. One downside of hard contact lenses to keep in mind is that they may be more likely to move around the eye during use. This may lead to discomfort and blurred vision.
