New contact lenses are being developed all the time. If you were told that you couldn't wear contact lenses just a few years ago, you may be able to wear them today. For example, people with astigmatism, who in the recent past could not wear soft lenses now have a lost of options to choose from.

Most contact lenses require a little more work to care for than glasses. There are also important safety concerns with contact lenses that cannot be ignored. However, following your eye doctor's instructions carefully will go a long way toward insuring that your contact lens wear is healthy and successful.

Contact lenses provide excellent vision for millions of people. Properly worn and cared for, they can be safe, effective and fun.
