Different opinions about cheap contact

March 7th, 2010

Cheap contact is generally referred to contact lens at a low price or affordable price. At the initial stage of contact lenses development, they were much more expensive than contacts nowadays. Thanks to innovations and on-going researches, cheap lenses are available in wide options. Coupled with the increasing demand for contact lenses from the public, cheap contact in large bulk has witnessed a revolutionary boom in recent years. Cheap contact is offered by both reputed manufacturers and ordinary brands now. These cheap lenses suit the budget of the average people. This is a significant contribution. However, there are different opinions about cheap contact, both applauding and dissatisfying.

The most widely accepted advantage of cheap contact is its reasonable price. It makes contact lenses available even for the low income group of people. Cheap lenses offer an economical solution to customers’ various vision problems. This is an important help for the average consumer. Cheap contact in colored type also brings fashion for the ordinary people. In early days, colored contact lenses were expensive and were only affordable by a small percentage of population. You can get cheap lenses through many channels conveniently, such as online shops, ECPs and mail order centers.

In contrast, some people are not in favor of cheap contact. The quality is the most frequently blamed thing. Cheap lenses are always manufactured in large quantity and disposable type. So some people think that their quality can hardly be ensured.  Cheap contact can mostly offer premium quality, which is not acceptable for those people who take quality as the most critical element. Although attentive and observant consumers can always pick up cheap lenses without compromising on their quality, it is time-consuming.

March 4th, 2010

With the popularity corrective color contacts, a new type of lenses called non prescription contacts (plano) came to the cosmetic world. These non prescription color contacts are being enjoyed by trendy women to enhance and brighten the look of their eyes.

The world’s major contacts manufacturers sell high quality non prescription contacts in the market. The most renowned non prescription contacts are FreshLook, Acuvue 2 Colors and Durasoft Colors. Besides these, there are hundreds of other non-brand non prescription contacts in the stores and online stores. But be careful, quality of these no-name non prescription contacts may differ by using different materials and craftsmanship. Furthermore, the paint used on the non prescription color contacts is a chemical and may sometimes be harmful.

There are basically two categories of non prescription contacts, one is opaque lenses which are normally used for dark eyes, the other are enhancers, which are suitable for light eyes. For those who may have night vision problems, please be careful in wearing opaque non prescription color contacts.

Like other contacts, the wearers of non prescription contacts should strictly follow the wearing schedule as the manufacturer’s guide. If the non prescription contacts are not the daily disposable one, you also need to clean those using designated solutions and keep in the lenses cases at night. Another note to mention is that non prescription color contacts are not sunglasses and can’t be shared with friends, as otherwise may cause serious harm to your eyes.

The last note to say is that non prescription color contacts still need to be prescribed by the doctor though the corrective power is zero. Doctors may measure your eye curve and decide the diameter of the non prescription color contacts for you. In addition, even online stores will not sell the non prescription contacts to you if you do not have a valid prescription from your doctor (How to get your prescription).
