Contact Lenses or
Spectacles? That question still does not have a single answer, even though many
people, both inside and outside the eye care business, claim that modern contact
lenses win hands down. Vision correction is truly a marvelous thing. Without
it, our ancestor’s lives were far more restricted by age and accidents of birth
than ours are. Introduction of eye glasses and movable type printing press to Europe about seven hundred years ago caused a major
upturn in technology, industry, and population.
Modern Contact
Lens Jewelry Case, soft and hydrophilic, are easy to wear and
convenient. However, eyeglasses still offer a wider range of vision correction
and safety. The right answer depends on numerous factors, such as age, eye
prescription, work and play environments, peer pressure, and finances. It is
not unusual for persons to rely on both contacts and spectacles at different
times, or to use both for vision plus safety. There is one case where contact
lenses are very definitely superior to spectacles and that is after cataract
surgery. Without the natural lens, or an implanted replacement, the eye can
only focus at distance, if at all. Spectacles would be very thick and heavy,
even with plastic lenses. Corneal contact lenses or Intraocular Lens implants
can feel nearly natural.

focus corrections become progressively important for most folks, because the
eyes lose elasticity. For single focus, contacts give the wider view, but for
multi focus the advantage can be with spectacles tailored to have different
prescriptions in different areas. Bi and Tri focal glasses are antiques
compared to modern progressive lenses. Contact lenses are improving for multi
focus, but still lack the range of spectacles. Also, cylindrical correction for
different angles around the pupil (astigmatism) can be degraded if a contact
lens moves off center of cornea or rotates.
One of the mysteries is that many people get around multi focus correction by
wearing a "near" contact in one eye and a "far" lens in the
other. Two mono focus contacts or wearing spectacles with contacts were the
only answers until fairly recent years. The two focus approach can seriously
degrade vision at some distances, can cause greater fatigue in one eye
depending on the activity, and can drive some people up the wall. Multi focus
contacts are thicker than single vision, as well as more costly. Quite
obviously, the optimum choice of these contact types or spectacles will depend
on the user. Some wearers will experience lost depth perception at all
distances.
It turns out that
contacts are often cheaper than spectacles, provided that both lens types can
handle the prescription. This is especially true since the Federal Law, called
the "Fairness to Contact Lens Consumers", and went into
effect on February 4th, 2004. No longer can an eye care professional deny you a
copy of your prescription, nor prevent you from purchasing via mail or
internet.
Get your fittings from a local professional. Get your contacts or spectacles
according to your convenience, price, and delivery time. Web stores now offer
contact lenses at 70 percent off list price and the option of 3 day delivery. A
poet remarked that contacts are better than spectacles for "walking in the
rain or making love." They can also be better for people with low self
confidence, such as children subject to much name calling.
