As with most everything else in eyecare, the technology and science of
contact lenses is evolving on an almost daily basis. We provide
here a basic overview of the various types of contact lenses and the
benefits of each:
Daily-wear soft lenses are made from soft, flexible plastics that
allow oxygen to pass through to the eyes. Daily-wear lenses generally
require a very short adaptation period, are available in tints and
bifocals, and are generally great for active lifestyles. Because you dispose of your
single-use lenses at the end of each day, generally these lenses require
no care!
Extended-wear soft lenses can usually be prescribed for up to
thirty days of wear without removal. They offer most of the
benefits of daily-wear; however, you may have to clean them.
Planned replacement soft lenses are replaced on a planned
schedule, most often every two weeks, monthly or quarterly.
Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) lenses are made of less flexible
plastics than soft lenses. RGP lenses may provide sharper
vision than do soft contact lenses. RGP lenses also are more
durable as they can least for a year or two. These lenses, of
course, require daily care.
