Contact Lenses vs Traditional Glasses

When you have a choice between contact lenses and glasses, there are a few pros and cons to consider before making your choice. If you are looking for either contact lenses or eyeglasses, call Dr. Coates at Dunedin Eye Care to schedule an eye exam and discuss your vision correction options.

Contact Lenses

Contacts come with their own pros and cons, and many people choose them for their advantages. When you wear contact lenses, you generally do not have to clean them throughout the day, and this is a big bonus for many people. With contacts, you get corrected peripheral vision, not just a front field of view. They are also simple to put in and take out once you get used to them.

There may be a learning curve in the beginning, but once you are through that, it takes just seconds to deal with them at the beginning and end of the day. They are also perfect for when you are exercising or playing sports. They will not get fogged up, and they will not fall off with sudden movements.

Eyeglasses

Many people choose glasses because they lend such a classic look to the wearer. You can stay in style by choosing trendy frames. Many people also prefer to wear eyeglasses because they will not have to touch their eyes to put them on and take them off. The fear of touching the eye is a common problem that can make glasses ideal. They do have to be cleaned frequently, but you can fall asleep in them if you like. They are often chosen by those who like to fall asleep while watching TV.
