6 reasons to wear contact lenses instead of glasses

Are you still on the fence about switching from glasses to contact lenses online? Allow us to point you in the right direction with our helpful guide on why you should switch to brand contact lenses.

Colored contacts vs glasses. It’s an argument as heated as cats vs. dogs, Beatles vs. Stones and crunchy peanut butter vs. smooth peanut butter. Some wearers will opt for a combination of the two, whilst others have a solid preference for one and stick to it.

However, misconceptions about contact lenses, even today, can sometimes prevent people from giving them a try. The most important thing you should know is that contact lenses are very safe to wear, with any potential issues easily avoidable with proper care and close attention to hygiene.

If you’re pro-glasses and have never considered contact lenses, it might be worth reading these 6 reasons why you should break free from frames and consider giving lenses a go.

1. They’re great for active people.

For keen athletes and active individuals, contact lenses offer the most efficient solution for eyewear. They don’t move around when your head or eyes move, meaning you won’t have to worry about them falling out and potentially breaking. Contact lenses rarely escape from the eye socket and on the incredibly rare occasion when they do (most commonly if a wearer rubs their eyes too hard), they’re very difficult to break.

Less obstructive than glasses, contacts also won’t interfere with safety gear such as helmets, caps and googles.

2. Clearer vision.

Contacts sit comfortably on the curvature of the eye, giving you a wider field of view than glasses lenses, and excellent focus. Your lenses won’t be affected by more adverse weather conditions such as fog and rain, while they also won’t steam up in hotter conditions. Reflections and distortions that can arise with glasses will become a thing of the past, and you won’t have to worry about scratches to the lens that would otherwise have you forking out for a new pair of spectacles.

3. You can get creative.

Want to change your eye colour? Contact lenses come in an array of shades that allow you to temporarily and safely change the colour of your eyes.

Whether you want a more natural and subtle change, or to stand out from the crowd, we offer a fantastic range of coloured contact lenses from imool contact lenses

4. You don’t have to compromise on style

Glasses can certainly complement your look, but they can also get in the way, particularly if you wear eye makeup.

Many people who wear glasses have to opt for light reactive lenses to protect their eyes from UV rays. As well as being expensive, they don’t come in the versatile and fashionable range that sunglasses do.

5. Comfort

Contact lenses can be supplied for even the most specific of prescriptions. You’ll find there are toric lenses for astigmatism, as well as multifocals for those who require multiple prescriptions in one lens to correct presbyopia.

Even sensitive eyes can enjoy maximum comfort with our contact lenses, perfectly suited for those who often suffer from dry eyes.

6. Life is just easier

For starters, it’s easier to kiss, as contacts won’t get in the way of those sweet moments like some clunky spectacles could. You can also ride roller coasters without worrying they’ll fall off and you also won’t have to deal with lens glare next time you take a selfie. We think those are all excellent reasons to wear contacts instead of glasses.
