- Hello,
-
- My wife is ready to go to contacts lenses and she needs to know the
- pro and cons of each type. From my limited knowledge, it goes like this;
-
- hard lenses : The original, harder to adapt to, and have to be taken out
- for cleaning every night
- soft lenses : Easier to adapt to, more prone to infections? Not suitable
- for people with astigmatism. Some are extended wear.
- disposable: Wear for two weeks and throw away. This is the one she
- is most interested in. I'd appreciate hearing from people
- who have experience with them, both good and bad.
-
- Thanks
-
