Why You Should Consider Buying Contact Lenses

According to the industry magazine, Optical Prism, around 63% of Canadians wear eyeglasses. This means that over half of our population needs something to help us see correctly. If you are reading this, there is a high chance that you wear them yourself, or even if you don’t, you know many people who do.

While glasses are the most popular choice and offer so many great benefits, at Today Lens we want to argue the case for contact lens usage. We encourage anybody who wears glasses to consider the option to buy contact lenses in order to try them out, or have them on hand for when you need them. Let’s look at some of the reasons why you should consider buying contact lenses.

They are easy to put in

One of the most common concerns that plagues people when they go to buy contact lenses is that they can be difficult to put in. While this might have been occasionally the case in the past, new technology means that contact lenses couldn’t be simpler to wear. There are different types available to buy, made from hard and soft materials, depending on your preference. They will come with clear instructions on how to insert them and you can always contact us here at Today Lens if you have any more questions.

This convenient way to buy contact lenses means that they will be delivered directly to your door in a matter of days and you can even set up a repeat order, so you never need to worry about having to buy contact lenses again!

You don’t need to wear them every day

When you have contact lenses at home, you have a choice. You don’t need to wear them every day and are free to alternate between contact lenses and eye glasses. Many people find contact lenses very convenient in certain situations, such as when playing sports or going out dancing. You are free to wear glasses the rest of the time if you want to. Our top tip is to always keep both on you, if possible. This not only offers you comfort if you make spontaneous plans to take part in an activity and also serve as a back up solution if something happens to your glasses and they crack or break. Having these options is what wearers love about contact lenses and it means that you don’t have to choose between one or the other just consider both!
