Summary: Have you been nearly blind all of your life, but now have a pair of contact lenses that you hope will change everything? Do you find, unfortunately, that they irritate your eyes because you have trouble keeping them clean and free of protein deposits? Do your contacts keep ripping in half every time you take them out to scrub them?Contact lenses are a superb way to correct your vision. Because there are no bulky plastic frames to protect your secret identity (sorry Superman), contacts help create the illusion of naturally good vision while letting the world see your face. They also don’t slide down or pinch your nose, like glasses are sometimes known to do. But, contact lenses do come with their own set of problems to deal with, especially when it comes to keeping them clean.
