Soft contact lenses are small, thin, gel-like plastic worn directly on the surface of the eye to correct vision problems. They can correct most vision conditions, including Myopia (short- sightedness), Hyperopia (far-sightedness), Astigmatism (irregularly shaped cornea) and Presbyopia (also known as “old vision” that affects most mid to senior age patients). Cosmetic contact lenses are also available for those who want to enhance their eye color or beauty used to enhance one’s looks.
