What Are Soft Contact Lenses?
Soft contact lenses are thin, flexible lenses that stay gently on top of the surface of your eye. Soft contact lenses are made out of unique materials that allow oxygen to the cornea of your eye. These lenses can correct near-sightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and even presbyopia. Many patients, including children with myopia, will find them more comfortable than glasses.
