Reasons to Switch to Contact Lenses

There are many reasons people switch to contact lenses. For starters, if you don't love the way you look in glasses, contact lenses allow you to enjoy the corrective lenses you need without hiding your face behind optical frames. Furthermore, contacts can be great for those who lead active lives, especially for those who play sports and don't want to risk their glasses falling off or becoming damaged during play. And because contacts move with your eye, you may be able to enjoy a better view than you would with eyeglass frames (which can obstruct your field of vision).

Caring for Your New Contact Lenses in San Antonio

Of course, contact lenses in San Antonio do require some special care to keep them clean and safe for use. Depending on the type of lens you choose, you may need to clean your contact lenses with a special solution at least once a day. However, daily disposable lenses are available for those who prefer to avoid this. When handling contact lenses, your hands should always be clean and freshly washed to avoid potential bacterial contamination. And if you apply any eye makeup, you should always do this after you put your contacts in. This, along with making sure you're using the right contact lenses in the first place, is extremely important to your health and well-being.
