Contacts Lens vs Traditional Glasses

When you have the choice between contact lenses and eyeglasses, it can be hard to make that decision. Each of these choices comes with its own advantages and disadvantages, and it often comes down to your lifestyle and personal preferences. Whether you choose eyeglasses or contact lenses for your vision correction, we offer a wide range of options at Dr. C Vision Care in Pensacola to ensure you find the pair that's right for you.

Wearing Eyeglasses

Many people like to wear eyeglasses because they like the way frames add to their aesthetic. Glasses can be highly complementary on you when you choose a shape and color that compliments your facial features. Eyeglasses are also very simple to put on and take off. There is no learning curve when it comes to their maintenance, unlike contact lenses. However, many active people find that traditional glasses don't hold up well while working out or performing on the field.

Wearing Contact Lenses

Contact lenses are often chosen because they don't have to be cleaned throughout the day, and they don't restrict your corrected vision to just the front. With contacts, you also have clear peripheral vision. Contact lenses can be an ideal way to correct vision for those who don't like the way they look in eyeglasses. Contacts are also great for those who play sports and do other physical activities. However, getting used to contacts can take some time. It's also essential to ensure you properly take care of the lenses to prevent eye-related issues from occurring.
