THE REAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CONTACT LENSES & GLASSES

Contact lenses allow the freedom to live life outside your frame. You just have to be a little responsible about handling and cleaning the lenses.

Benefits of Contact Lenses

Sports & Activities

People with active lifestyles, such as fitness enthusiasts or those with jobs where glasses can be a distraction, can get the vision correction they need.

Field of Vision

Contact lenses move with your eyes, allowing a complete and natural field of vision that won’t be obstructed by frames or cause distortions between what you see through your glasses and what you see outside of them.

No Obstructions

Contact lenses don’t get water on them in the rain or fog up when you go from cold to hot. You’ll also never catch a glimpse of a frame in your peripheral vision.

Vision Correction

In some cases, contact lenses may be able to offer better vision quality than glasses.

Costs

Although glasses require less maintenance, when you do lose or break them, they can be costly to replace.
