Types of contact lenses

Hard contact lenses

Hard contact lenses are lenses made of hard plastic material. Hard contact lenses have the following characteristics:

Smaller than the pupil
Oxygen in the air easily reaches the eyes
Since astigmatism can be easily corrected, it is easier to focus than soft contact lenses.

Some people find it difficult to see with soft contact lenses once they get used to hard contact lenses.

Soft contact lenses

Soft contact lenses are contact lenses made of soft materials. Soft contact lenses have the following characteristics:

Contains a lot of water
Larger than the pupil
No discomfort when worn
Lenses are less likely to slip out or fall out

However, soft contact lenses contain a lot of water and can cause bacterial or fungal infections, so daily lens care and regular examinations are important.

Disposable soft contact lenses

Disposable contact lenses are available in two types: one-day type and frequent replacement type. Since they were approved in Japan, many users have chosen this type due to its convenience and hygienic advantages.

Compared to year-round contact lenses, disposable contact lenses offer much greater protection against infection and provide the cleanliness required for medical supplies.

However, before you know it, this convenience can easily lead to problems, so we believe that regular inspections and compliance with the rules are important.

Cleanliness is expected
Has the benefits of soft contact lenses
Easily reflects the latest technology

Color contact lenses/circle lenses

Color contact lenses are contact lenses that have been designed with colors and patterns to make them fashionable.

It also serves as a cosmetic correction device for those with missing irises.

Color contact lenses have become widely recognized as a fashion item, but on the other hand, users often lack sufficient knowledge about them as advanced medical products and do not take proper care of the lenses, and there have been reports of problems with eye health.

We are tempted to think of them as a fashion item, but we believe that regular checkups and following the rules are important, just like with regular contact lenses.
