Are Contact Lenses Better Than Spectacles?

Before you choose between contacts and glasses, bear in mind that one is not always better than the other in terms of vision, ease of use, and eye protection.

Compared to contact lenses, eyeglasses have many advantages. They need no washing and repairs, you don't have to touch your eyes to wear them (reducing the chance of infection), and glasses are less expensive in the long term than contact lenses so they don't need to be replaced as often.

Eyeglasses can also do something that contact lenses can't: they can change the amount of light that enters your eye for the best convenience and vision. Photochromic lenses, in particular, are bright indoors and at night, and darken naturally in the sunshine, allowing for clear, relaxed vision in any light. While some contact lenses can prevent some UV light from entering the eye, photochromic eyeglass lenses block 100% UV and shield not only the inside of the eye but also the outside of the eye and the eyelids. Glasses can also be a perfect fashion statement and an extension of your personality!

However, contact lenses in Sri Lanka have a number of benefits over glasses. Contact lenses sit directly on your eye, helping you to see clearly, particularly in your peripheral vision. You won't have to worry about your eyeglasses being in the way, slipping down, or missing while participating in sports or outdoor activities. The availability of the colour contact lenses online will also alter the color of your eyes as per your preference.
