How to Choose the Right Contact Lenses for Your Lifestyle

Choosing contact lenses is more than just a matter of preference. The right lenses can enhance your daily comfort, support your eye health, and make your routine easier. Whether you live an active lifestyle or work long hours in front of a computer screen, there are contact lenses designed to fit your unique needs.

Dailies vs Monthlies
 

Daily disposable contact lenses are always the superior option to monthly contact lenses. When putting in a fresh pair of contact lenses every day, you have the advantage of clearer, more comfortable vision, and a better long term success rate in contact lenses. Monthly contacts are a decent, more affordable alternative, but have a higher risk of complications from dry eye, allergies and infection with long term use.

Evaluate Your Daily Activities

Your daily routine plays a big role in selecting the right lenses. If you spend most of your day outdoors or playing sports, you may benefit from contact lenses that offer UV protection or lenses that stay secure during movement. If you work at a desk or use screens often, lenses designed to retain moisture and reduce dryness can help you stay comfortable.
 

Take Your Eye Health Into Account

Some people have dry eyes, astigmatism, or other vision concerns that require specialized contact lenses. Toric lenses are made for people with astigmatism, while multifocal lenses can help if you need different prescriptions for near and far vision. Scleral lenses are a great option for individuals with dry eyes or irregular corneas, as they provide a smooth optical surface and maintain a reservoir of fluid to keep the eyes hydrated throughout the day.
 

Talk to Your Eye Doctor

The best way to choose the right contact lenses is to have a comprehensive eye exam and speak with your optometrist.
