Contact lenses are medical devices that are placed directly on the eye to correct vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
Contact lenses work by refracting light as it enters the eye, which helps to correct any vision problems. The lenses are designed to sit directly on the surface of the eye, allowing them to focus light precisely 1mm away from the eye's natural focal point.
Yes, contact lenses are generally safe to wear as long as they are used and cared for properly. It is important to follow the recommended wear and care instructions provided by your eye doctor to reduce the risk of eye infections and other complications.
Most people are able to wear contact lenses, but it ultimately depends on their eye health and the type of vision correction needed. Your eye doctor will be able to determine if contact lenses are a suitable option for you.
The recommended replacement schedule for contact lenses varies depending on the type of lenses and the individual's eye health. Some lenses may need to be replaced daily, while others can last up to a month. It is important to follow the specific replacement schedule provided by your eye doctor to maintain healthy and comfortable eyes.
