Contact Lens Care
Contacts don’t just come in soft or hard varieties, they can also come tinted and even multifocal. Tinted contact lenses can be used for either cosmetic or therapeutic purposes, such as enhancing color perception or to help compensate for color blindness. Multifocal or bifocal contact lenses, on the other hand, correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism in combination with an age-related loss of close-up vision. These lenses are available in both soft and hard varieties.
