Frame free – the single and most obvious difference between contact lenses and glasses is that as contact lenses fit directly onto the eye, they obviously require no frames.  When buying glasses, it can often be a really difficult and time-consuming experience.  There are so many different frames available, it can be a long process trying to find a frame that you not only like, but feel comfortable wearing and look good on you.  Furthermore, trying to find these frames in a realistic and appropriate price band can add to the difficult even more.

Clear and unobtrusive – one of the major benefits to contact lenses is that as there are no frames and the fact they sit on the eye, there are no frames obstruct views out or no glare from the sun or bright lights.

Allow more freedom – whilst a lot of people will argue that glasses are better than contact lenses (or at least just as good), there is one thing that contact lenses allow the wearer to do – and that’s be much more active.  For example, it may be possible to run on a treadmill for 20 minutes wearing glasses, but it’s not feasible to play football for 90 minutes wearing glasses – which is where contact lenses are really worth their money.

Wearable 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year – unlike glasses, there are a variety of contact lenses available that can be worn on a permanent basis.  Unlike intraocular contact lenses however, these contact lenses can be removed if and when necessary.
