Bifocal Contact Lenses For a majority of us, presbyopia is something we have to live with. In definition, presbyopia is the lack of focusing on things in close range. The cause for this, is the lens in our eyes becoming less and less flexible as we grow older. The bad part is, most of us will need some type of corrective lenses, such as contact lenses or glasses and possibly even bifocals at some point in our lives as this condition gets worse. Both glasses and contacts require cleaning and careful handling. You ll need to spray your glasses and wipe them off a few times each day. Contacts need to be cleaned as well, before you put them in and soaked in solution when you aren t using them. You may also need to use eye drops as well throughout the day when wearing contacts, especially if your eyes start to dry out. Doctors will tell you that when they don t monitor the fitting, usage of the contacts, and the overall effects, they may cause you serious problems and possibly even blindness. While a lot of people use non prescription contacts, few of them experience serious problems. When an individual buys non prescription contacts without going to see an optician, they tend to forget the fact that contacts aren t for everyone. With dryness being a common problem for most people who wear contact lenses, manufacturers are always working to create contacts that will remain comfortable throughout the day. Dry eyes are the most common reason for irritation, and the main reason as to why people decide to give up contacts and just go with glasses to correct their vision. Dryness in the eyes is very common with contacts, which is why you should always have re-wetting drops with you. After you have worn your GP lenses during the day, you should always clean, rinse, and dry them out once you take them out for the night. When you clean them, you should always use the right solution, instead of water. You should always do this one contact lens at a time, before you plan on wearing them. If you wear contacts, you should always make inspecting them a part of your daily routine. Along with inspecting your contact lenses you ll need to keep them clean. You can clean your contacts after you have inspected them, by putting a few drops of your solution in the palm of your hand and gently rubbing your contact around.
