| There
are many differences between glasses and contact lenses, but there are some similarities,
too:
Both require careful handling and cleaning. Glasses must be sprayed and wiped several times a day, while
contacts need varying degrees of care, depending on the type. GP contact lenses are
particularly fast and easy to clean.
Both can correct astigmatism. An irregular cornea shape that
distorts vision, astigmatism is something that many
people think only glasses can correct. But GP contacts do an outstanding job of correcting astigmatism.
Both are affordable. When you consider that you wear glasses or contact lenses every single day of
your life, the amount you spend on them is far less than for any other item in your
wardrobe. Considering how important they are to the quality of your life, they're
invaluable.
Since glasses have few, if any, advantages over contact
lenses, you may decide to throw yours away! But if
you're still undecided about which vision option is best for you, talk it over with your
eyecare practitioner.
