"Can I Wear Non Prescription Contacts?"
Contact Lenses Without a Prescription
If you want to wear non prescription contacts, visiting an eye doctor for a contact lens fitting is a wise decision. Even though they may work great for some, contact lenses without prescription aren't for everyone. For example, if you are a diabetic any eye infections will take a long time to heal. In addition to the benefit, the contact lens fitting will make sure you get the right fit.
Non prescription eye contacts aren't meant to correct your vision. Known as plano,
the most common type of contact lenses without a prescription are the opaque
color contact lenses.
Types of Non Prescription Contacts
Locally or on the Internet, you can find many different varieties of no prescription contact lenses available. You can find lenses that enhance the natural color of your eyes, lenses that enhance your look, and many others. There are also special effects contact lenses, which are great for Halloween or other times when you want to look different.
Contact lenses without prescription are also available in daily wear and disposable lenses. If you are looking to change colors on a frequent basis, disposable lenses may be your best choice. The best thing about disposable lenses is the fact that you don't need to clean them at all, simply wear them during the day then take them out and discard them at night.
If you are going to use the same color or the same pair of contacts for a while,
you may want to go with daily wear lenses. Daily wear contact lenses will last
you a lot longer than the disposable lenses, but they will need to be
disinfected and cleaned on a regular basis. As long as you clean and disinfect
them on a regular basis, they will last you for quite a while.
Why Do You Need an Eye Doctor?
Without their supervisions, many doctors don't advise the use of non prescription color contacts. While a lot of people use non prescription contacts, few of them experience serious problems and possibly even blindness. If you visit an eye doctor he or she will fit you with the right contacts and tell you some tips on how to wear and care for your contacts.
When you buy non prescription contacts without going to see an optometrist, you need to remember the fact that contacts aren't for everyone. For example, the amount of tears, shape of the eye, and need for correction varies from person to person. To get the right fit, an eye doctor will need to carefully examine you.
Anytime you wear them, you should take the necessary contact lens care. Even though you may not get an infection, there is always a small chance that it could happen.
