The Benefits of Contact Lenses

Contacts are one of the most popular ways to correct vision. When people choose the vision correction method that will work best for them, they often consider their lifestyle and how contacts might fit into it. If you are considering contact lenses for the first time or it is time to update your prescription, contact our team at Chapel Hills Vision Clinic to book an appointment with one of our optometrists in Colorado Springs, CO.

The Ease of Wearing Contact Lenses

Many people choose contacts over eyeglasses because they can wear them all day and rarely have to think about them. While eyeglasses need to be cleaned and adjusted throughout the day, contacts simply go in and stay put until you take them out at night. Many people choose contacts because they have busy lifestyles and do not want to fuss with their vision correction method during the day.

Playing Sports

If you live an active lifestyle and play sports or go jogging, contacts can make these activities far easier. It can be difficult to keep eyeglasses on while playing a strenuous game, but contacts stay put. Eyeglasses can get broken if they fall off while you are jogging or participating in a sport, but contact lenses will remain in place.

No Frames

Contact lenses are also popular among people who don’t want to look at a pair of frames all day or don't want to lose their peripheral vision. With glasses, you see the outline of the frames in your vision. With contacts, your entire visual field is clear. With eyeglasses, the vision correction is all in the front part of the visual field. With contacts, your peripheral vision is corrected just like your frontal vision.
