Contact lenses are a good substitute for bulky glasses that keep getting misplaced all the time. Even though there has been a dramatic evolution of newer, classier, and more stylish glasses frames, more and more patients are leaning towards using contacts lenses presently.
Contact lenses are expensive compared to regular glasses that are sometimes a onetime investment. Disposable contacts or even permanent contacts need to be changed either once day or a week or in matter of months. Also, they must be cleaned daily with solution and the eyes must be protected against dryness by using eye drops.
All these as a package are costlier than glasses.
Many hospitals and charity organizations arrange free eye check up campaigns where they give out free contact lenses instead of glasses. Some of them provide free check ups that are excluded from the lenses price. Also, some opticians give the offer of free lenses with a paid check up, which can help in reducing the prices considerably.
Ophthalmologists and optometrists sometimes form groups at prestigious universities to arrange free eye check up campaigns.
These people tend to give out contact lenses to those who need them or at least sell them at considerably lower prices to make them affordable to all those who come in for the check up. In such campaigns, the doctors also assist the patients with the proper usage of the lenses as well as advice on how to take care of the lenses.
Doctors in such camps prefer to give out the long lasting contact lenses instead of the disposable ones to enable the patient to get used to them for some time and then think of investing in the lenses in the future..

Color Contact Lenses - Do They Work on Dark Eyes?
Do you want to change dark eye color to something different, but you are unsure if color contacts will work for your eyes? If you have brown eyes and tried color contact lenses several years ago, you were probably disappointed. Color contacts of the previous generation ether gave your eye color only a very slight change or your eyes looked blue but completely unnatural.Creating color lenses that would truly transform brown eyes into sky blue or emerald green is a very difficult task, but modern color contact lenses can do it. The trick is to select the lenses that would work for you. There are two types of color contacts - enhancement color contacts and opaque color lenses. Enhancers usually come in different shades of blue, green and gray and are designed to make your natural eye color look brighter.
