		Wearing contact lenses means you don't have to wear glasses. They will give you the freedom that a person with perfect vision would have. With the contact lens being placed on your eye you get the perherial vision that glasses cannot provide. This makes contact lenses ideal for sports and activities where wearing glasses is impossible or dangerous.


		Some people don't want to wear glasses for cosmetic reasons so contact lenses is their preferred option. However, it is always a good idea to have a pair of glasses for emergencies and for the health of your eyes. Wearing contact lenses all the time reduces the amount of oxygen to your eyes and can be harmful, so it is also important to give your eyes a rest. Unfortunately, not everyone can wear contact lenses because of a disease or an irregularity with their eye. Please check with our optometrist to see if contact lenses are a viable option for you.
