Millions of people around the world wear contact lenses — more than 24 million in the
Contact lenses may be used by people who have had surgery for cataracts if the natural lens of the eye was removed. They may also be used to treat eye diseases, such as keratinous or damage to the cornea caused by injury or infection.
Typically, the best candidates for implantable contact lenses are between the ages of 21 and 45, with moderate to severe myopia. ICLs are designed for those patients who are not good candidates for LASIK vision correction. Learn more about candidate requirements for implantable contact lenses.
A. Most individuals who require vision correction can wear contact lenses. Technical advances in contact lens development include bi-focal contacts, daily disposables, extended wear and frequent replacement lenses and lenses to correct astigmatism, nearsightedness and farsightedness. The health of your eyes should be your main concern. Choose an eye care professional who is knowledgeable and experienced with contact lenses.
The most common eye problems encountered by contact lens users are excess tearing, itching, burning, sensitivity to light, dryness, and occasional blurred or distorted vision. These conditions may be worsened by improper care or cleaning of contact lenses and increase the risk of developing an eye infection.
The fitter must first decide if your eyes are healthy enough to wear contact lenses. If so, the fitter then fits the correct lenses for your eyes and your needs and teaches you how to use and care for them.
Anything that causes dry eyes, including antihistamines, birth control pills, alcohol and air travel, can make contact lenses uncomfortable, and can increase the risk of an eye infection. In addition, environmental contaminants, such as dust, smoke, sprays and pollen, can irritate the eyes when you wear contacts.

If bifocal contact lenses will not work for you, your doctor may recommend monovision. With monovision, you wear a contact lens that corrects for near vision in one eye and a lens that corrects for distance vision in the other eye. Most people who try monovision can adjust to it.
