How to Choose the Right Lenses
The first step is to choose between two basic types of contact lens materials: soft or hard? Most people who wear contact lenses wear soft lenses because hard lenses are usually the best choice for people who have astigmatism or a medical condition where protein deposits form on the contact lens, which is the minority among people who need lenses.
We must consider that there are many categories of contact lenses available, both in terms of how they perform vision correction and how long they last before replacement. In fact, there are:

Daily contact lenses
This type of contact lens is usually the most expensive option among the disposable ones. Adrialenti daily contact lenses do not have to be removed and disinfected every night but are replaced daily.
Monthly duration contact lenses
The principle is the same as disposable but they must be disinfected at night when they are removed and in the morning before reusing them. The replacement time of these lenses can vary greatly depending on the type and brand, and for periods ranging from two weeks to three months.
Extended wear contact lenses
This type of contact lens is designed to be worn overnight, although it must be removed at least once a week for cleaning and disinfection. However, many eye care professionals do not encourage their use. When you sleep in contact lenses, you reduce the amount of oxygen that gets to your eyes, making your eyes more vulnerable to infections, particularly corneal infections.
Toric contact lenses
This type of lens is used to correct astigmatism, a condition in which vision is blurred due to an irregularly shaped cornea or lens within the eye. They are usually the most expensive types of contact lenses.
