When you need to correct your vision, you may have the choice between contact lenses and eyeglasses. Both options have a lot of great benefits as well as a few drawbacks. When you consider which one you will choose, consider your lifestyle and what you do during a typical day. This can help you make the choice that's best for the way you live. If you are choosing between glasses and contact and live in or around Gardena, contact Century Eye Care to schedule an eye exam with Dr. Aghai. We are happy to help you make the right choice for your vision correction.
Wearing Glasses
Traditional glasses are great for vision correction, and many people like to wear them for the way they look. It can be fun to accessorize with a pair of glasses, and they can be used to balance the face to make the shape of the face look more ideal. Glasses are also incredibly simple to take off and put on, and many people choose them for that reason.
They are safe to fall asleep in, and it's easy to read or watch TV in bed with them. You don't need any supplies like contact cases to remove them or put them in. They are an easy way to correct vision but do need some maintenance during the day. They need regular cleaning to keep your vision clear.
Wearing Contact Lenses
When you wear contact lenses, there is some extra handling that is needed at the beginning and end of the day when you want to put them in and take them out. Other than this special handling, contact lenses generally need no maintenance at all. There is no cleaning throughout the day needed, and there is no readjusting needed.
For people who live an active lifestyle, they are great for wearing during exercise or sports. They won't fog up, and they won't fall off as glasses can. They are great to wear for a wide range of outdoor activities, and they make it simple to put on and take off sunglasses.
