Soft lenses: Non-reusable lenses: If you do not want to deal with the hassles of regular proper care and maintenance related to contact lenses, non-reusable contact lenses are the way to go. They are use and throw lenses that, depending on the type of lenses, can either be utilized just for a day or for a couple of weeks prior to


being disposed of away for a new one. Daily non-reusable lenses tend not to even need to be cleaned with cleaning solutions. As these are available in a variety of colours too, they are great if you need to just try out various eyecolours for a while. However, prior to getting one, it could be wise to speak with your local medical professional about which sort or brand of non-reusable lens would be best for your eye-type. Annual soft contacts: Clearly, as the name indicates, they work for a full year. Oxygen passage through the lenses is required to stop drying of the eyes and these lenses, made out of very soft material, give you just that. In contrast to their nonreusable counterparts, these kinds of lenses require careful and regular cleaning and proper storage. At a stretch, these can be safely put on for as much as 14 hours. Gas Permeable/ Rigid gas permeable/ Oxygen permeable contact lenses: These lenses, often known as GPs, allow even more oxygen through them than most soft lenses. Besides being much easier to clean, they are immensely beneficial in that they are long-lasting and provide great quality of vision. However, also, it is a fact that you would take some time getting used to putting on these kinds of lenses that are made of semi-rigid, stiff substance. Some manufacturers, however, have successfully overcome this drawback by providing a very soft outer ring for the lenses, thus letting them be put on comfortably. Flexible and Prolonged wear contact lenses: These kinds of lenses are so designed to enable you to keep them for a long time, without the need to take them off at all. In case you despise removing and putting back your contacts on a daily basis, you might enjoy these types of lenses. You can even sleep with these lenses on. Depending on the make of your contacts, you could either wear them for a period of 7 or up to 30 days continuously without ever taking these off. These too permits enough oxygen to pass through them and in your eye, to keep you comfortable. Torics for astigmatism: For people having astigmatism, the lack of ability of the cornea to correctly focus an image on the retina, you have torics. They provide the same convenience and clearness of vision as standard contacts. These are available in both GP and soft lenses. Cosmetic lenses: Whilst the main purpose of contact lenses should be to correct eyesight difficulties, you can also find cosmetic lenses that also allow you to change the colour of your iris. coloured contact lenses can be found in four different


kinds: visibility tints, enhancement tints, opaque colour tints and lightfiltering tints. Each individual name, I guess, is self-explanatory. The centre of the coloured lens offers the exact power value. As long as the cleansing and maintenance of these types of lenses are concerned, they are similar to other contact lenses. Additionally, the majority of cosmetic lenses are available without visual correction.
