Contact lenses are small
optical
often soft
and remarkably thin lenses placed in the cornea of one's eye. They improve the vision
and sometimes the physical appearance
of eyes. Contact lenses are usually an alternative to traditional eyeglasses
correcting a person's vision without requiring them to wear ugly
awkward bifocals. However some people with naturally good eyesight still wear contacts
solely for cosmetic reasons - to enhance or change the color of their eye.

Unlike eyeglasses
contact lenses are not easily affected by weather
are not especially fragile
and actually (in most cases) do a better job at improving a person's eyesight. Not to mention
a glasses' framing immediately hinders a person's field of vision! This is not so with contact lenses that fit directly onto the eyeball and are practically invisible.

For those ready to scrap conventional
unfashionable eyeglasses
local eye care professionals will prescribe a brand of contact lenses to vision care patients and direct them to the appropriate retailer. Acuvue Contact Lenses is the most popular brand around. Acuvue Contact Lenses provides general vision lenses
color contact lenses (with 10 different shades)
and astigmatism and multifocal lenses. Acuvue Contact Lenses has also followed a recent trend of extended wear lenses. Generally
lenses are removed from the eye and set in a cleansing solution overnight
but other kinds of lenses are safe to wear for longer than 12 hours. Extended wear lenses are literally discarded after a certain length of time and replaced by another set.
