Contact lenses offer a wide range of unique benefits over traditional eyeglasses, with the most obvious being convenience. As opposed to glasses, you never have to worry about losing or breaking them, and for the most part, you don’t even know they’re there at all. Modern lenses are very carefully engineered to be almost imperceptible. You might feel the odd shift in position every now and then, but in general, you won’t feel them at all. 

They’re also an excellent choice for sports people. Because you don’t have any kind of frame over your face, you’re able to wear the full spectrum of different types of headgear with no problem, from bike helmets to ski goggles. 

From the aesthetic perspective, many people simply don’t like the way glasses look or feel, or that they don’t really suit them. Contacts allow you to maintain your natural appearance, and if you want to, you can even wear colored variants that enable you to alter the color of your iris. Some people also alternate between contact lenses and glasses, so this is also an option if you’re looking for something in between. 

One of the biggest barriers to wearing contacts that people have in their minds is that they’re difficult to put in, but this shouldn’t put you off. After one or two tries, it becomes second nature, and you can check out the handy infographic below to learn how easy it really is.
