2. After the reading glasses, there came about the contact lenses.
Contact lenses are great replacements for your regular eyewear.
Other than using them as
glasses, contact lenses are also
being used as treatment for
some eye diseases and
conditions. Furthermore,
contact lenses are also being
used for cosmetic purposes,
changing the color of the eyes.
Before wearing contact lenses,
especially for the purpose of replacing glasses with them, a wearer
needs to consult and ophthalmologist and an optometrist. There
are certain conditions that a person must meet in order to wear
these lenses. Proper hygiene should be practiced when using
contact lenses.
Contact lenses are used as treatment for nearsightedness,
farsightedness and astigmatism. They are also effective against
keratoconus which is an eye condition wherein the eye is irregularly
shaped. Bandage soft contact lenses are used for problems in the
cornea.
Contact lenses are becoming popular fashion statements. A lot of
people choose to enhance the appearance of their eyes with fashion
contact lenses. They do not have any grade and they are usually
called fashion contact lenses. Among the general categories are
color contact lenses, big eye contact lenses, natural look contact
lenses, and special effect contact lenses.

3. The most popular types of contact lenses are color contact lenses.
These colored contact lenses come in blue, green, and brown. Red
contact lenses on the other hand are used during Halloween
occasions.
Special effect contact lenses are out of the ordinary lenses. These
special effect contact lenses imitate the eyes of cats, aliens, and
other odd looking things.
You need to take good care of your
contact lenses. They have varying life
spans and a wearer must follow
them. You might experience eye
related problems if you are going to
use lenses over their prescribed life spans. They need to be
regularly moistened with the proper solution.
Take a look at the Internet before you make any final commitments.
You may get these lenses from the Internet itself; there are a
number of sites that have these on sale. I would recommend
checking them out. There are several sites where you can learn how
to take proper care of special effect lenses.
