Contact lenses are thin clear discs that are worn over the front surface of the eye to correct vision. Contact lenses are used just like eyeglasses to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism and presbyopia. Many people who wear eyeglasses can also successfully wear contacts. Contact lenses can be made from a number of different materials and fall into either the soft or rigid categories. Soft lenses are a good general option for many people. Rigid lenses usually provide sharper vision especially for people with high refractive errors or larger degrees of astigmatism. Rigid lenses may take longer to get used to but once the eyes are used to them both soft and rigid lenses can be worn comfortably. Contact lenses can be worn on a variety of schedules. Some are designed to be removed daily while others can be worn overnight. They can be replaced on a daily weekly, biweekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly basis. You and your doctor will determine the schedule that works best for you.
