Are Contact Lenses Right For Me?
When it comes to contact lenses, some people are still under the impression that they are uncomfortable to wear and only suitable for young people. However, recent advances in contact lens technology mean that this is no longer the case.
Contact lenses today are made from materials which self lubricate and deliver high quantities of oxygen to the eye – so that they can be comfortably and safely worn for longer periods of time.
