Contact Lens, Question and Answers.

There are some very simple questions that not many people know the answer too, these are explained below, from questions such as "can a contact get stuck round the back of my eye?" and can a contact lens fuse to my eye, ill search the internet for questions that people would like to know the answers too.

i went around the street and asked people which parts of contact lenses do they not know about and what would they like to know if they were going to purchase some if they needed some... here are my responses

Q: Can contact lenses get lost behind my eye?

A: Not a chance. It's physically impossible for a contact lens to get lost "behind" your eye. A thin membrane covers your eye and connects to the inside of your eyelids, so the lens is unable to move off the front surface of your eye.

Q: Can contact lenses get fused to my eye?
A: No. In the vast majority of cases, contact lenses are easily removed using the method your doctor recommended. Contact lenses can always be removed with a little patience.

Q: Can contact Lenses pop out my eye and get lost?
A: With proper selection and fitting, lenses should stay in place almost all the time. Even on that rare occasion when a soft contact lens moves out of place, it stays on your eye until you can move it back.

Q: Is it true that eye infections are common when wearing contact lenses?
A: Lens-related health problems can occur, but they are most commonly related to poor cleaning routines or other care-related issues. Read the Patient Instruction Guides for your lenses and follow your eye doctor's directions for proper wear and care, and you can significantly reduce your risk of infection.

Q: i dont need to wear my glasses each day so why should i have to wear contact lenses?

A: Contacts can be worn as your everyday vision correction or in combination with glasses just when you want them. If your need for vision correction isn't that strong, contact lenses provide an easy, always-there alternative to putting on and taking off your glasses all day. Plus, unlike eyeglasses, contacts won't smudge, steam up, fall off or break, and you won't lose any peripheral (side) vision.

Q: Are contact lenses comfortable to wear? 

A: Contact Lenses are exceptionally comfortable. We start with either a silky smooth hydrogel or silicone hydrogel material and combine them with proprietary lens designs for a great fit and feel.

Q: Are contact lenses cheaper then glasses?

A: Contact lenses are surprisingly affordable. For as little as the price of a chocolate bar a day, you could wear contact lenses.

Q: Can contact lenses be worn over night?
A: Some Contact Lenses can be worn while you sleep. which means they can be worn for six night/seven days consecutively. However, the risk of certain eye problems is higher with overnight wear. Only your eye doctor can determine if sleeping in your contact lenses is right for you and provide you with information on proper use.

Q: I was thinking of getting them for my son, but he plays a lot of sports, how does this effect it?
A: Contact lenses are a great choice for athletes. They offer sharp vision, and they don't fog up, fall off or break during a game like glasses may. With contact lenses, unlike glasses, your child won't experience a loss of peripheral (side) vision. When it comes to swimming or other water sports, ask your eye doctor about wearing contact lenses.*
