Soft contact lenses are a type of corrective lens used to correct vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia. They are made of a flexible, oxygen-permeable material that allows oxygen to reach the eye, and are designed to be worn directly on the surface of the eye. Soft contact lenses are the most popular type of contact lenses, and are available in a variety of designs, including daily disposable, extended wear, and colored lenses. Soft contact lenses are available in a variety of materials, including hydrogel, silicone hydrogel, and polymacon. Hydrogel lenses are the most common type of soft contact lenses, and are made of a soft, water-absorbing material that allows oxygen to pass through to the eye. Silicone hydrogel lenses are made of a more breathable material, allowing more oxygen to reach the eye. Polymacon lenses are made of a more rigid material, and are designed to be more durable and comfortable.
