Contact lenses are a practical alternative to glasses<\/strong>. They are very comfortable to wear<\/strong> and guarantee clear visibility<\/strong> even in peripheral areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the large variety, almost all refractive errors can now be corrected with the small lenses. Contact lens wearers can therefore always benefit from a sharp view<\/strong>, not only in everyday life, but also during sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the following article, we will introduce you to the visual aid in more detail and explain its properties, areas of application and possible problems with contact lenses. You can also find out why many people get their eyes lasered<\/a> today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glasses or contact lenses?<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Which is better, daily lenses or monthly lenses?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The two most popular types of contact lenses are daily lenses<\/strong> and monthly lenses<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While monthly lenses can be worn for up to a month, you should replace daily lenses daily with a fresh pair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both monthly lenses and contact lenses for daily replacement are now made of hydrogel<\/strong> or silicone hydrogel, whereby daily lenses are usually thinner and thus more flexible. The modern material not only provides you with moisture and <\/strong>comfort<\/strong>, but also makes handling incredibly easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the lenses have to be changed regularly, the price<\/strong> often plays an important role for contact lens wearers. If you wear the contact lenses daily, monthly lenses are the cheaper option for you. Day lenses, on the other hand, are more worthwhile if you like to switch between lenses and glasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Especially if you have sensitive eyes, hygiene and care<\/strong> of the visual aid are of elementary importance. Since daily disposable lenses are individually packaged in sterile packaging, they are always clean and easy to use. Nevertheless, even monthly lenses with the right care can be a simple and hygienic alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternative two-week lenses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Would you like to combine the best of both contact lenses? Then 2-week lenses may be just the thing for you. As the name suggests, these are exchanged every two weeks. <\/strong>The big advantage <\/strong>is that they feel comfortable until the end of the gestation period, as a fresh pair is used every two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which contact lens is right for me?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Since not everyone tolerates contact lenses equally well in everyday life, it is important to consult an ophthalmologist or optician<\/strong> to select and adjust the lenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With regard to contact lenses for children, it is usually advisable not to test the first lenses until the age of 14<\/strong>. In principle, however, there is no prescribed minimum age from which children may wear contact lenses. It is first and foremost important to be able to use the contact lenses, which requires a little practice and dexterity <\/strong>as well as maintaining the necessary hygiene standards in the application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you have opted for contact lenses for the first time or just adjusted your vision<\/strong>, new lenses require a certain amount of time to get used to<\/strong>. How long it takes for your eye to adapt to the contact lenses depends individually on your sensitivity and the fit of the lens<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So that you can tolerate the visual aid optimally, not only the correct handling is of great importance, but also the selection of the contact lens fluid<\/strong>. Be sure to talk to your advisory contact lens specialist about this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long does a contact lens last, how often do I need to change it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While hard contact lenses<\/strong> are no longer usable after up to 18 months<\/strong>, soft contact lenses<\/strong> should be replaced after about 1 year <\/strong>. If the contact lenses are closed, pay attention to the expiration date on the package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In general, you should have your eyes checked regularly<\/strong> in order to replace old lenses with new ones if the diopter number changes. With thorough care and adherence to the control and replacement intervals, you can use your contact lenses without worry for the recommended wearing period<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In general, however, the more often you change the contact lenses, the healthier it is for your eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types of contact lenses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are many types of contact lenses. Whether for nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), in case of corneal curvature (astigmatism, astigmatism) especially for dry eyes or in case of presbyopia. Progressive contact<\/strong> lenses can be identified by the addition of the name Multifocal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Various manufacturers (such as Biofinity, Air Optix, Acuvue Oasys, Bausch and Lomb, Biomedics or Biotrue) produce the right plastic lens<\/strong> for almost every eye and every customer requirement. There is a wide range of products such as dailies aquacomfort plus or Air Optix Hydraglyde (for very dry wearing conditions) or dailies total (for intensive use of digital devices), Air Optix night and day (for uncomplicated 24-hour use), Biofinity Toric or SofLens Toric (for corneal curvatures) and Freshlook Colorblends (coloured lenses).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are not only differences in terms of wearing time<\/strong> and material<\/strong>, the oxygen permeability<\/strong> of the individual visual aids also varies<\/strong> greatly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even children or people with high dioptres can now wear contact lenses every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contact lenses are also already available at quite reasonable prices, whereby you should always seek advice from your optician or ophthalmologist as to which manufacturer and which product is suitable for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The right choice of lens<\/strong>, as well as the right care product<\/strong>, can determine wearing comfort and compatibility right from the start and thus contribute to an optimal correction result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soft contact lenses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Soft contact lenses are made of flexible material<\/strong> and therefore adapt<\/strong> wonderfully to the shape of the cornea<\/strong>. Since they are slightly larger than dimensionally stable lenses, soft contact lenses have a stable fit<\/strong> and offer a high level of wearing comfort<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
