Contact lenses are an excellent option for millions of people that wear glasses. But not all contacts are right for everyone. It’s also essential to understand how to wear and handle contacts appropriately to prevent complications. 

​There are different types of contact lenses, including soft and hard lenses. There are also daily wear lenses and extended wear lenses. Contacts may have different diameters, curves, and thickness. 

The summer is a great time to get outdoors, soak up some sunshine, and enjoy swimming, barbecues, and family get-togethers. With school out for the season, vacations, and longer days, summer sometimes feels carefree. But it’s not a time to slack on eye safety. It’s vital to continue to make good choices to protect your vision and keep your eyes healthy. 

After many months of cold winter nights and overcast days, it’s nice to welcome spring. As you pack away your winter coats and open up the windows, the warm sunshine is likely a welcome sight. For many people though, the spring season can also mean eye allergies. April 7-13 is World Allergy Week, and it’s the perfect time to focus on preventing allergy symptoms and keeping your eyes healthy this spring.
