Advantages of wearing contact lenses

Struggling with the decision to wear contact lenses and regular glasses? There are several reasons to consider contact lenses, including:


  • Lenses not fogging up when you step out from the cold and into the warmth
  • No distortions or reflections that are common with glasses
  • Not having glasses bounce and slip off your nose as you move around
  • A more comfortable experience while playing sports or more intense activities


While there are also disadvantages to wearing lenses, it’s ultimately up to you to decide if contact lenses are the best choice for you and your lifestyle.
