Daily disposables provide convenience and hygiene, as they are discarded at the end of each day, eliminating the need for cleaning and storage. This option is ideal for individuals with busy lifestyles or those who prefer a low-maintenance approach to contact lens wear.

Toric lenses, on the other hand, are designed to correct astigmatism, providing clear vision for patients with irregularly shaped corneas.

Multifocal lenses cater to patients with presbyopia, allowing them to see both near and far objects clearly without the need for glasses.

In addition to correcting vision, contact lenses can also offer cosmetic enhancements.

For instance, daily disposables come in a range of colors and designs, allowing patients to enhance or change their eye color. This can be a fun and creative way to update one's appearance.
