Contact lenses are a fantastic medical device with a close relationship to the surface of the eye and also to dry eye
Contact lenses have some clear optical advantages over glasses and at the same time they allow greater "freedom" for leisure activities, sports and social appointments.
A common reason for wearing contact lenses is, with increasing ease of use, certainly cosmetics. So the desire to not only see better without glasses ... but also 'look better'.
Different types of contact lenses are available for different uses.
Contact lenses are also an important optical medical aid - there are many different types of speciality contact lenses available.
Careful fitting and follow-up by experienced specialists is very important with contact lenses therefore you should not buy contact lenses 'off the shelf' according to the motto 'one fits for all'.
Hygiene is an important factor when wearing contact lenses to avoid dangerous eye infections, which in extreme cases can threaten the eye
this requires thorough cleaning and disinfection.
Modern daily wear contact lenses (daily disposables) are considered the safest way to wear contact lenses today, as they do not need to be cleaned and stored.
Contact lenses have to float in the tear film on the eye and therefore have higher demands on the quantity and quality of the tear film.
A typical side effect of wearing contact lenses is therefore the occurrence of complaints of dryness of the eye if the amount of tears is not sufficient or if there are very dry environmental conditions.
This can occur in office work environments and then leads to a form of dry eye known as 'office eye'.
