Contact lenses are a medical product that allows you to correct various deviations that are a consequence of eye diseases. Most often, on sale you can find products made with the expectation of people suffering from myopia (myopia), that is, those who see poorly in the distance. For patients with farsightedness (hypermetropia), there are also models of their own, just there are much fewer people with such a visual defect. Yes, and short-sighted people, in fact, have to spend more time in glasses / lenses, so as not to experience inconvenience in everyday life. There are also options for correcting astigmatism.

You can choose lenses for yourself only after visiting a specialist who will conduct a full examination and write out an appointment. Even if you have been a user for many years, do not be too lazy to visit an ophthalmologist before changing one brand to another. Contact lenses from different manufacturers and different lines differ from each other in “design”. This concept usually includes parameters for the shape of the front and back surfaces, diameter, center thickness, base radius, and so on. It is also incorrect to select lenses according to a prescription for glasses, since their optical power is different. Our rating will tell you about the best contact lenses in their categories.
