Soft lenses are a type of contact lens made from flexible, water-containing materials. They conform to the shape of the eye, providing comfort and a natural feel. Soft lenses are popular for correcting vision issues like nearsightedness and farsightedness, and they come in various types, including daily disposables and extended wear options. These lenses allow oxygen to pass through to the cornea, which is essential for eye health. Soft lenses are generally easier to adapt to than rigid gas permeable lenses, making them a preferred choice for many wearers. Regular cleaning and proper care are important to maintain their effectiveness and comfort.
