Contacts Lenses vs. Traditional Glasses
If you are in need of corrective lenses to improve your vision, deciding upon using contact lenses or eyeglasses is necessary. The first step in making your decision is to make an appointment for an eye exam at Erie Optical in Mentor with one of our optometrists. Here are some of the advantages of each type of corrective lens to consider when making your selection.
Reasons to Purchase Contact Lenses
People who use contact lenses to improve their vision find that these tools will give them the crispest vision possible. This is because a lens will cover the entire iris portion of an eye, giving you the capability to see clearly when looking to the side or up and down. Glasses will only improve vision when looking through the areas where the lenses are positioned. If you spend time doing sporting activities or exercise, contact lenses will allow you to move around without worrying about breaking your lenses. You also don't have any fogging of the lenses when you get warm.
Advantages of Wearing Eyeglasses
Those who wear eyeglasses have the ability to change their appearance easily simply by selecting a few different sets of frames to keep on hand. Eyeglasses do not require extensive cleaning processes. You can place your glasses on your face without having to wash your hands or spend time positioning lenses first. Glasses come in a variety of colors and styles, making it easy to find a set that suits your appearance.
