Contact Lenses: Pros & Cons

Welcome back for the second half of our series on the pros and cons of both glasses and contact lenses. Today we’re looking at the pluses and minuses of contact lenses:

Pros:

• You don’t have to worry about any of the notorious fogging that comes with glasses and changes in climate.
• Some people prefer the way they look without glasses.
• Contact lenses are less cumbersome when you’re playing sports.

Cons:

• Contacts require the commitment of daily cleaning and care to avoid infections.
• While daily contact lenses reduce the need for regular care, they can be more costly.
• Contact lenses can cause an increased risk of dry, irritated eyes. They can also be difficult to remove or insert.
