Contact lenses are a convenient alternative to glasses that sit directly on the surface of the eye to correct vision. The two main types are soft contact lenses and hard (rigid gas permeable) lenses. Soft lenses are flexible, comfortable, and easy to adapt to, making them the most commonly used option for daily wear. Hard lenses are smaller and more durable, allowing more oxygen to reach the eye and often providing sharper vision, especially for people with certain prescriptions or conditions like astigmatism. During a contact lens exam, your eye doctor will measure your eyes and help determine which type of lens is the safest and most effective for your vision and lifestyle.
