Understanding Types of Contact Lenses

Contact lenses are available in different types and varieties. Finding the right lenses depends on your lifestyle and your vision correction needs.

Lenses by Type

CONTACT LENSES ARE USUALLY CATEGORISED BY LENGTH OF WEAR.

Lenses by Condition

CONTACT LENSES FOR NEAR OR FAR SIGHTEDNESS

When you’re nearsighted (myopic), distant objects appear blurry. When you’re farsighted (hyperopic), near and occasionally distant objects appear blurry. These are the two most common conditions that call for vision correction.

CONTACT LENSES FOR ASTIGMATISM

Lenses for astigmatism are referred to as Toric lenses. Astigmatism is a common condition that can result in blurred or distorted vision at all distances, varying with the amount of astigmatism.

CONTACT LENSES FOR PRESBYOPIA

Presbyopia is an age-related condition. Don’t worry, it happens to everyone. As you reach your 40s or 50s, you may find it harder to focus on nearby objects like menus, books or magazine print, especially in low light. Multifocal contact lenses can help.
