Soft Contact Lenses

Soft Contact Lenses

Soft contact lenses are made from a thin and porous plastic containing hydrogels. Not like the hard contacts, hydrogels in soft contacts are supple. This enables superior breathability, making these the foremost popular lens type and they’re comfortable to wear without having to “break them in”.

In most cases, soft contacts are used to correct myopia, also known as nearsightedness, hyperopia or farsightedness, astigmatism or blurred vision, and age related loss of close-up vision.
