Contact Lens Confusion?


Hi,

I'm booked in for an initial contact lens assessment at Tesco, and I believe a free trial as well?

Anyway, looking on their website there must be at least a dozen various types of lenses advertised for sale. Why the vast range of lenses?

I know very little about CLs but remember trying them about 20 years ago. But there was quite a lot of faffing around (daily cleaning) but that wasn't put me off them. It was the cost of the solutions and tablets. Apparently back then you had to clean the protein off and disinfect them with basically bleach.

Nowadays, is the cleaning regime easier and are the solutions and lenses cheaper in 'real terms' than they were?

Thanking you in advance all for any answers.

Happy St George's Day
