Don’t Know Whether You Need Glasses or Contacts? Let Us Help!
If you are unable to see clearly, you will need vision correction to improve it. The two most common correction options are eyeglasses and contact lenses. If you aren't sure which one will be best for you, the doctors of optometry at Eye Care Center LTD in Burbank and Addison can help. Below are the advantages and disadvantages of glasses and contacts.
Choosing Eyeglasses
There are many good things about wearing eyeglasses. The risk of getting an infection is low because eyeglass lenses don’t sit directly on the eye. Over the long-term, they are less expensive, and you don’t need to replace them unless they break, are lost, or you need a prescription change. If your vision stays the same, you can keep the frames you were wearing.
Some of the disadvantages of glasses include your vision becoming obstructed by the frame or lenses, can break if participating in a sports activity, and the lenses can become dirty.
Choosing Contact Lenses
Many people opt for contact lenses because of their advantages. Contacts can give you a natural appearance, allow you to change the color of your eyes, will not block your vision, are comfortable, and won't interfere with the way you play a sport.
Just like glasses, contact lenses have some disadvantages as well, such as:
- Contact lenses put your eyes at a higher risk of infection
- They need to be replaced often, which can be expensive
- Some people have trouble getting used to contact lenses
- Must be cleaned often and stored away properly
- Requires more optometry visits to make sure the contacts don’t give you problems
