How do we get rid of foggy lenses with Contact Lenses?
Have you ever been an observer of the blurring phenomenon of eyeglass lenses? It may not seem like a real discomfort, but as the protagonist of such a scene, I confess that it is extremely annoying.
Moreover, in the pandemic we have adopted the wearing of face masks as second nature. But as we eyeglass wearers know, wearing goggles and a mask is a challenge. Why? Because with every breath or word you breathe, a fog settles in that creates frustration…
- What are the options for those facing this problem?
Today there is a modern solution that provides clear, comfortable and uncompromised vision. We don’t have to give up the mask, nor the quality of vision.
What is it? The use of contact lenses.
Given the obligation to wear a mask and the cold temperatures that favour the blurring of any spectacle lenses, contact lens wearers are at an advantage. We are now in a context where contact lenses are better than glasses.
They don’t fog up, they can’t fall out, they don’t restrict our field of vision and they are very comfortable.
Bear in mind that contact lenses do not necessarily replace glasses. The two solutions are complementary and not mutually exclusive. Of course there are exceptions which we will not discuss in this article, such as therapeutic lenses or those for slowing the progression of myopia.
- But who can wear contact lenses?
The short answer is that anyone can wear contact lenses, regardless of age or occupation. Following an office visit, the eye care professional will recommend the right lenses for the problem you have and beyond.
As there are many different types of contact lenses, the recommendation will take into account dioptres, eye health, expectations and budget. So whether you have myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism or presbyopia, there’s a lens for you.
To eliminate any worries, you have the support of your optometrist 24/7.
You will receive all the information you need to make an informed choice and will be personally instructed on the fitting, removal and maintenance of the lenses prescribed, depending on their characteristics. Did I make you curious?
The first step is to book an appointment for a consultation!
Let’s not fool ourselves that we’re doing just fine.
