Contact Lenses
People choose to wear contact lenses for various reasons.[4] Many consider their appearance to be more attractive with contact lenses than with glasses. Contact lenses are less affected by wet weather, do not steam up, and provide a wider field of vision. They are more suitable for a number of sporting activities.[5] Additionally, ophthalmological conditions such as keratoconus and aniseikonia may not be accurately corrected with glasses.

The most serious safety concern with any contact lens is related to overnight use. Extended-wear (overnight) contact lenses–rigid or soft–increase the risk of corneal ulcers, infection-caused eruptions on the cornea that can lead to blindness. Symptoms include vision changes, eye redness, eye discomfort or pain, and excessive tearing.
Soft lenses are much more comfortable than rigid lenses, thanks to their ability to conform to the eye and absorb and hold water. You can get used to soft lenses within days, compared with several weeks for rigid. An added benefit is that soft lenses aren’t as likely as rigid lenses to pop out or capture foreign material like dust underneath. Extra-thin soft lenses are available for very sensitive people.
