Some feel that cheaper lenses should be avoided at all cost, for the fear that they may damage vision or not offer the same quality that the higher priced brands of contacts offer. Those who don t wear contacts but have interest in them, may find a cheap pair of contacts to be the ideal way to try them out. Your optician will show you how to inspect the contacts before you put them in your eyes, starting with your trial pairs. The optician or associates working there will need to verify that your test contacts meet your standards and the requirements for your eyes, according to what the optician recommends. Some people will produce less tears than others, which can indeed be a problem when wearing contact lenses. As you get older, the tears that you are able to produce will begin to decrease. The environment is another cause. If you work in a factory or area that is over heated, or exposed to dust or smoke, your eyes will start to dry out. Scratches on the contact can be very serious, especially if you aren t aware of it and put the contact in your eye. It can cause you serious trouble, such as an infection or even scratch your cornea. The easiest way to prevent this is to examine your contacts before you wear them. Before you put your contacts in your eyes, simply let them rest on your index finger and look them over. When you have finished cleaning and rinsing your contacts, simply put them back in the case and fill it with the solution that you have for soaking your hard lenses in. The soaking solution will keep your contacts fresh, and clean the protein off of them that can build up from wear. Hard contact lenses will last you for a long time, providing you take care of them. The lens and focus is the same as glass, meaning that you will get the same vision from contacts as you would with a pair of glasses. A lot of people who have vision problems consider getting Lasik eye surgery to fix their vision problems so that they won t have to wear glasses or contacts. On the flip side, there are several risks and problems associated with this procedure, besides the fact that it is very expensive.
