Contact Lenses vs Traditional Glasses

Which is better, contact lenses or eyeglasses? Before contact lenses came into the picture, eyeglasses were how most people corrected their vision. Today there are more options and alternatives to choose from. At VisionSmith in Plymouth, MN, our eye doctor can help make your choice simple and hassle-free.

Benefits of Traditional Glasses

Traditional glasses do not need to be simple and plain. Eyeglasses have evolved into a popular, sought-after vision-wear. Depending on your preferences, you can choose your own frames, and order extra perks like the anti-glare and progressive lenses.

Eyeglasses can be customized in many ways, from the frames to the colors, and even the lens.

Benefits of Contact Lenses

Contact lenses are preferable to glasses for many people. It is the convenience of wearing an eyewear product that is comfortable and invisible.

Contact Lenses are available in different designs and colors. You can purchase soft disposable lenses or gas permeable lenses. However, unlike glasses, contact lenses can cause eye irritation and infections if they are not inserted, removed, cared for, or stored according to your optometrist's instructions. Disposable contacts do not require as much care as gas permeable lenses, but they can still potentially cause problems.

Our optometrist is knowledgeable about the eyes and what eyewear products will be the most effective in enhancing your vision. If you are looking for a fashionable eyewear product, order eyeglasses with the help of our eye doctor. Today, patients have greater control of their eye care products.
