Stay Beautiful: Everything You Need To Know About FRP Contact Lenses

While Leonardo da Vinci is believed to have introduced the idea of contact lenses, the first contact lenses similar to modern ones were introduced in 1948. These were created by Californian optician Kevin Tuohy. Over the next few years, the lenses were refined and started to become popular in the 1950s and 1960s.

It’s not surprising that they have remained popular. Many people feel more attractive without glasses and they are certainly more convenient if you lead an active lifestyle.

What Are FRP Lenses

FRP stands for Frequent Replacement lenses. This refers to lenses which are worn for a specific amount of time, and then discarded. Most lenses can be classed as disposable.

However, gas-permeable lenses, often referred to as hard lenses, can be used for months or even years without issue. That’s provided the hygiene schedule is maintained.

In contrast, soft lenses are made of soft flexible plastic and are better at allowing oxygen through to the cornea. They are generally more comfortable than hard lenses. However, they are generally intended to be worn daily. Some need to be replaced monthly, others fortnightly, and some daily.

Current studies suggest soft lenses are more popular and there is a move by many wearers to go from monthly or fortnightly disposable lenses to daily. It’s not entirely clear what is driving this transition.

Where To Purchase FRP Lenses

Whether you’re looking for FRP contact lenses or hard lenses, you’ll first need a prescription. That means having an eye test to confirm what strength the lenses need to be. It’s normal to have different strengths for each eye.

You can then purchase contact lenses from your optician. However, you’ll generally find that you can get them online cheaper, and you’ll have a bigger range of options. Delivery is fast and the level of support you get is comparable, if not better than at your local opticians.

However, whether ordering online or in a store, it’s generally best to go with the brand your optician recommends. This makes the ordering process simple.

Advantages Of FRP Lenses

FRP lenses are convenient. This is especially true if you use daily disposables. All you have to do is put the lenses in your eye with clean hands in the morning. At the end of the day, remove it and throw it away.

This approach dramatically reduces the likelihood of an eye infection.

The weekly, fortnightly, or monthly options need to be removed and placed in a cleaning solution every night. Provided the cleaning schedule is adhered to you are unlikely to have any issues.

Alongside being convenient, many people feel less self-conscious when wearing lenses compared to glasses. This means using FRP lenses can boost self-confidence and allow you to achieve your goals.

Summing Up

FRP contact lenses are a great option for many people. They can be worn for the entire day and discarded or stored, depending on the type you have.

While you should always have a pair of glasses in reserve, choosing to wear contact lenses is likely to be one of the best decisions you’ve ever made.
