Near-sightedness (myopia or short-sightedness) is a common refractive error which causes objects in the distance to appear blurry. Those with near-sightedness may be able to focus on close work such as reading with ease but have difficulty seeing far away objects. This can be a real inconvenience when going about your day-to-day activities such as driving or watching TV. Thanks to daily contact lenses, however, near-sightedness can be corrected so that it’s no longer a problem. Eye health experts at Feel Good Contacts (the UK’s no 1 contact lens retailer) are here to take you through all the benefits of daily contact lenses and how they prove to be an excellent choice for those with near-sightedness.
Daily contact lenses (dailies or daily disposable contact lenses) are lenses which are worn for a whole day before being disposed of and replaced with a new pair the next day. They are the most convenient lens wear option as they don’t require cleaning or storing in contact lens solution overnight. Offering optimal comfort and hygiene as well as excellent visual correction for a wide range of vision problems, daily contact lenses are a popular choice.
Besides offering visual correction for long-sightedness (hyperopia), astigmatism or presbyopia, they are also a brilliant choice for correcting near-sightedness.
There are many benefits to choosing daily contact lenses over other wearing types of lenses. Not only are they comfortable and more hygienic, but they also reduce the risk of eye infections as a fresh pair is worn each day. Furthermore, daily disposables are ideal for those with busy lifestyles as they don’t require a time-consuming cleaning routine.
Daily contact lenses are thinner than monthly contact lenses, which is what gives them their comfort. As a result of them being thinner, you’ll barely notice when you’re wearing them. Silicone hydrogel daily lenses are great if you have near-sightedness and want a breathable lens that remains comfortable throughout the whole day. These lenses have increased breathability which makes them an especially desirable choice for those who suffer with dry eyes.
Before trying out daily lenses, speak to your optician, who will advise on whether they are suitable for you.
You can buy daily contact lenses with UV blocker to keep your eyes protected from the majority of harmful UVA and UVB rays from the sun. However, it is still recommended that you wear sunglasses on top of these to protect the rest of the ocular tissues when you’re outside.
Although daily contact lenses may be a more expensive option than two-weekly or monthly contact lenses, they are invaluable for those with busy and active lifestyles. Nevertheless, you can still save money on daily lenses for near-sightedness when you purchase them online.
