What do I gain by wearing permanent wear lenses?

Excellent vision at all times, with extreme comfort for 24 hours a day without the bother of looking after the lenses. Since they are not removed, there is no need to carry around cleaning and soaking solutions with you and perform complicated sterilization procedures. Advantages are best appreciated by a busy person or by a person who travels a lot.

Those who have a high power of myopia or hypermetropia are indeed happy not to have to grope in the dark for their glasses when they get up at night.

Are permanent wear lenses comfortable?

Yes. Excellent comfort is achieved. The wearer is hardly aware that any lens is worn.

Can permanent wear lenses fall off or dislocate in the eye?

No. The lenses are perfectly stable at all times. It is impossible for them to fall off or slip in the eye.

Can I swim with permanent wear lenses?

Yes. But again do not dive with open eyes or swim under water. The lenses are so designed that they will stick more tightly if water falls on the lenses, so the chances of losing the lens are remote, but you will feel uncomfortable for some time and the eye will remain red a little longer than normally.

Can I participate in sports with permanent wear lenses?

Yes. Any sport you desire. The lenses are perfectly safe and will never slip or slide off no matter how much physical exertion you do, even in a strong wind.

Can I visit a beauty parlour with permanent wear lenses?

By all means do so. Keep your eye tightly shut during washing of the hair or spraying of the hair. Similarly keep all lotions away from the eyes when permanent wear lenses are worn. It is a wise precaution to inform the beautician so that inadvertent mistakes do not occur.
