<p><font size="3">Today, more and more people are turning to contact lenses as
a cosmetically attractive alternative to glasses. </font> </p>

<p><font size="3">There are a variety of different types of contact lens, which
fall into two main categories, <font color="#009900">Hard Lenses</font> &
<font color="#009900">Soft Lenses.</font></font></p>
<p><font size="3"><b>Hard Lenses</b> are more commonly known as 'Gas Permeable
Lenses', and although they usually give very good clarity of sight, many people
find them difficult to get used to, and so they are not usually the first choice
of contact lens.</font></p>
<p><font size="3"><b>Soft Lenses</b> have the outstanding advantage that almost
everybody finds them comfortable and easy to get used to. The disadvantage is
that Standard Soft Lenses do not properly correct everybody's eyesight as well
as spectacles do. Some people's eyesight requires a more complicated type of
soft lens called a Toric Soft Lens.</font></p>
<p><font size="3">This is a type of lens that is specially made to correct Astigmatism.
The term 'Astigmatism' refers to a mild, natural distortion of the eyeball that
almost everybody has got, and spectacle lenses are routinely made to correct
this. Standard Soft Lenses do not compensate for astigmatism, so if your eyesight
has more astigmatism than can be conveniently ignored without affecting clarity
of sight, the more accurate Toric Soft Lens is used.</font></p>
<p><font size="3">This situation occurs in 15-20% of contact lens fittings. The
only real disadvantage is that this type of lens is more complicated to manufacture,
and thus more expensive.</font></p>
