What are Some Different Types of Contact Lenses?
Contact lenses are small lenses made from various polymers which are designed to be inserted into the eye over the cornea for the purpose of correcting vision; it is also possible to find contacts which just change eye color or novelty contacts for costumes. There are a number of different types of contact lenses on the market, from classic “hard” polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) lenses to daily disposables. An optometrist can provide more advice about the types which may be right for you, depending on your unique needs and the health of your eyes, but it can help to have a general idea of your options before meeting with an optometrist to discuss contacts.
