If you are thinking of getting contact lenses, finding the correct lens can be a little tricky, especially if you suffer from sensitive skin or eyes. First of all, you naturally have to make a visit to your local eye care professional. Since approximately 1 out of 10 shouldn’t wear lenses due to various medical reasons, it’s important to make a careful examination first. Your eye care professional can tell if contact lenses is the right choice for you, and if so, you get help to get the lenses properly fitted. With a prescription, you are then ready to look into the lens market.
Since the lens market is so large, there is naturally a huge range of contacts to choose from. There are a few basic good advice to have in mind however.
If your eyes are very sensitive, you should maybe not choose the extended wear lens, since wearing your lens overnight might increase the risk of infection. If so, there are disposable lenses that you throw away, or daily-wear lenses, that you take out at night. You should also be on the look-out for gas-permeable lenses, that “breathe” well, and let in much oxygen, to avoid irritation.
