First Time Wearing Contact Lenses? Your Complete Guide

Switching from spectacles to contact lenses is one of the most liberating changes a glasses wearer can make. At Vision Plus Optics in Estancia Thailavaram, Mr. Prem Kumar guides hundreds of first-time wearers through the transition every year — with patience, expertise, and a hands-on fitting trial at no extra charge.

Choosing the Right Contact Lens Type

• Daily Disposable: Best for first-time wearers — wear once, discard, no cleaning required, lowest infection risk
• Monthly Soft Lenses: More economical for those wearing contacts five or more days a week
• Toric Lenses: Specifically designed for astigmatism — specialist fitting available from Mr. Prem Kumar
• Multifocal Lenses: For presbyopia patients who want clear distance and reading vision without reading glasses
• Coloured Lenses: Available in prescription and non-prescription

Daily Contact Lens Care Essentials

• Always wash and dry hands thoroughly before handling lenses
• Never sleep in contact lenses unless prescribed for overnight wear
• Replace contact lens solution daily — never top up old solution
• Remove lenses immediately if eyes become red, painful, or unusually dry
• Never wear contact lenses while swimming or in the shower
• Attend a follow-up check at Vision Plus Optics Estancia every 6 months
