Why do people choose contact lenses instead of spectacles?

Because contact lens sit directly on your eye they move with your eyes as you change your view so you have a natural field of view, without a frame getting in your way.

• * The lens is directly on your eye so does not magnify or minify your eyes or your view as spectacle lenses would.
• * They do not steam up like spectacle lenses. You have more freedom to play sports if you don’t wear spectacles.
• * Some people prefer their appearance without glasses on. Contact lenses tend to give better vision than spectacle lenses as they are directly on the surface of your eye.
• * Contact lenses may give better vision than spectacles for some visual conditions such as severe short – sightedness, long – sightedness or corneal distortion, or after cataract removal.
