The number of different contact lens that are on offer can often prove to be baffling especially for the unwary consumer, who more often than not ends up picking the first type that comes to hand without any real thought or analysis as to the reason why.
This has major consequences and potential repercussions because making the wrong choice in terms of what type of lens to use can turn out to be a rather costly mistake indeed.
Whilst contact lens are primarily used to treat defects in vision, (such as near sightedness, short sightedness and colour blindness) they can be classed into two very broad categories, hard and soft, and this is regardless of whether the lens is a Proclear Contact Lens or not.
Hard contact lenses are built for longevity meaning that they are exceptionally sturdy indeed, and are very cheap as well. However, the downside is that they are built for resilience and not comfort and so can quickly dry out the eyes.
In addition they can only ever be worn for limited periods of time before they need to be removed from the eyes, otherwise, the wearer risks the possibility of acquiring an eye infection. This is due to the limited amount of oxygen that they actually permit to enter and access the eye.
Soft lens are fast replacing their hard counterparts, and Proclear Contact Lens have proven themselves especially popular with contact lens wearers, thanks to the level of comfort they afford.
Many satisfied customers speak about the remarkable amounts of time for which they can wear the lens, without any discomfort or irritation of the eye. There are a number of different types of soft lens, although if you are concerned about acquiring an eye infection, then you would be best off using daily disposable lenses.
