Contact lenses are a perfect option for improving your vision, here is a list of the different types you can get in nowdays;

Rigid Gas Permeable - they are also known as Oxygen Permeable Contact Lenses. They are made of a flexible and breathable plastic that allows more oxygen to pass through than the normal "soft lenses" They are far easier to clean because they don't contain water too.

Conventional - The daily soft lens that is ment to be replaced yearly, these require a lot of cleaning, daily with disinfectant.

Disposable - The beauty of these is that they don't require cleaning and your next pair of lenses are always fresh!

Toric - These are great if you suffer from "double vision", it corrects the astigmatism.

Bifocal - This is what you need for an aging eye, with age the eye muscle control decreases, and it becomes difficult for the person to focus on near objects.

Coloured - A fashion followers option, lenses are now avaliable in a varety of jazzy colours and even patterns. Dior is offering lenses in Gold!
