Reasons to Switch from Glasses to Contact Lenses

If you have been wearing eyeglasses for a while now, you may consider securing a pair of contact lenses the next time you visit our optical glasses store. Contact lenses are an excellent option if you are looking for a more comfortable option to correct your eyesight issues.

As experts in optical care in Ridgewood, New York, we will discuss the reasons to wear contact lenses.

• Weather conditions

  You may be familiar with the fog which coats your glasses when you step outside on a hot, humid day. It can also be a problem in cold weather when you walk into a warm room after being outdoors. You can avoid this issue with contact lenses which are ideal for all kinds of inclement weather.

• Comfort

  Contact lenses may be recommended by your experienced optometrist if you lead an active lifestyle. Glasses can slip when you exercise and move around too much. This can also be a more convenient option if your work requires you to be on the road and move around most of the day.

• Self-confidence

  Some people are uncomfortable wearing eyeglasses and do not feel quite as confident. Contact lenses are a great solution if you need a boost of confidence, especially if you plan on attending special occasions.

• Cleaning

  Caring for contacts is easy and only requires a case with a solution. Meanwhile, glasses are susceptible to makeup, dirt, and oily skin that will require constant cleaning throughout the day.
