A good option over the traditional glasses

Lenses are preferred over the glasses for a simple reason, they are more comfortable. Lenses are available in different varieties like soft lenses or permeable lenses. Mostly soft contact lenses are worn by the people who like lenses over glasses, but if you ask an expert the permeable lenses are more comfortable option. Contact lenses, from big brands like Bausch and Lomb, Acuvue etc., are available for a variety of vision impairment problems including astigmatism. Here's a guide to the different types of contact lenses with their intended use.

Daily disposable lenses: These ultra-thin contact lenses are used only once and worn in the day time only. Not preferred much as they are very expensive than other disposable lenses. If you want to use lenses occasionally then these lenses are a good option.

Bi-monthly or monthly disposables: As the name suggest, they are worn from 1-2 weeks up to a month. One point of caution, remove these lenses before going to sleep. One should be very particular about the cleaning of these lenses and removal at night. If you feel uncomfortable with these lenses before the specified time limit, immediately discard them.

Toric lenses: If you are facing astigmatism, wear toric lenses. These soft contact lenses are really helpful for all such people who are suffering from an eye problem like this. But in severe cases consider specialist scleral lenses.

Extended wear contact lenses: These lenses can be worn for a weeks’ time to a month’s time, depending on the specification. Often these lenses are not recommended by the eye experts as they have increased risk of infection.
