# How do I choose the right contact lenses?

Choosing contact lenses involves matching the lens type to the eye's shape, prescription and lifestyle. A professional fitting assesses corneal health, tear film and suitability for different materials.

## Factors to consider

Options include daily disposable, reusable soft lenses, rigid gas-permeable lenses and specialised designs such as toric or multifocal lenses. Considerations include wearing time, oxygen transmission, handling, cost and how often lenses will realistically be worn.

- A contact lens fitting and regular aftercare help maintain eye health
- People with dry eye or allergies may need specific materials or replacement schedules
- Astigmatism and presbyopia can be corrected with dedicated lens designs
- Glasses should still be available as a back-up option
