Are you tired of wearing glasses? Your Wyomissing, PA, optometrist has the solution: contact lenses. You don't have to worry about wearing glasses, or prescription sunglasses. This solution is great for different types of eyes. There are thousands of contacts in stock available to treat problems such as:

• Dry eyes
• Astigmatism
• Difficulty reading
• Other eye diseases

Contact lenses are comfortable and come in two forms: soft lenses and hard lenses. The professionals at Linsey EyeCare can help clarify the difference between both lenses. Just ask your Wyomissing eye doctor which is the best option for you.

Hard Lenses

Hard lenses are breathable, reducing the chances of infections occurring. You can put them in early in the morning before school or work, and they'll provide you with the crisp, clear sight you need for a full day. At night, before bed, be sure to remove them. You'll need to submerge them in a special solution to disinfect them throughout the night. Hard lenses are usually used by people who have tried soft lenses and were uncomfortable with them. They can also last for up to two to three years if your prescription doesn't change and you take proper care of them.

Soft Lenses

Soft contact lenses are made of materials such as silicone-hydrogels, which give the lenses their distinct soft and flexible characteristic. The plastic allows the passage of oxygen to your cornea and takes the shape of your eye to add comfort. They are easily adjusted, which means they will stay in place while you're going about your regular day typing at the computer screen or playing basketball. Depending on the type you choose, you will need to submerge your contact lenses in a disinfectant solution before bed every night.

There are several types of soft lenses:

• Single vision
• Astigmatism/toric
• Bifocal/multifocal
• Disposable daily
• Disposable biweekly
• Disposable monthly
