Contact Lenses for the Farsighted

Farsightedness, or hyperopia, is a common eye condition that makes close objects appear blurry although you can see distant objects clearly.

It happens because the light entering your eyes focuses behind, instead of on, your retina. This can make daily tasks like reading or using a smartphone challenging.

Using contact lenses for farsightedness can help by:

• Correcting the light's focus onto the retina
• Clearing up the view of nearby objects, like books or screens

With the right contact lenses, you can enjoy clearer vision and more comfort during your everyday activities.

Types of Contact Lenses for Farsightedness

If you're looking for contact lenses for farsightedness, choosing the right type of contact lenses is crucial for both comfort and clarity of vision.

At TA-TO, we provide three main types of contact lenses suited for farsightedness, each with unique benefits and care requirements:

Daily Lenses for Farsightedness

Here is what you should know about the daily lenses for farsightedness:

Convenience and Hygiene: Daily disposable lenses are ideal for busy lifestyles. You use a fresh pair each day, eliminating the need for cleaning and decreasing the risk of eye infections.

Eye Health: These lenses are often recommended for those with allergies or conditions that make eye infections more likely, as there's no long-term buildup of deposits.

Considerations: While convenient, daily lenses can be more expensive over time compared to other types since you're using a new pair every day.

You can take a look at our tips on choosing daily contact lenses to find the right ones for yourself.

Weekly Lenses for the Farsighted

Here is what you need to consider when choosing weekly lenses for the farsighted:

Usage Duration: Weekly lenses are designed to be worn for one week. They strike a balance between the convenience of daily lenses and the longer wear cycle of monthly lenses.

Care Routine: They require nightly removal, cleaning, and storage to maintain eye health and lens integrity.

Cost-Effectiveness: These can be a more affordable option than daily disposables and are suitable for those who are okay with a minimal lens care routine.

Monthly Lenses for People with Farsightedness

Here is what you should take into consideration if you opt for the monthly lenses for farsightedness:

Extended Wear: Designed for use over an entire month, these lenses are beneficial for consistent wearers. They require regular cleaning but less frequent replacement.

Durability and Material: Generally thicker and more durable than daily lenses, monthly lenses can handle more handling and extended use.

Visual Clarity: Often preferred by individuals that need strong correction, as they provide consistent visual clarity and can accommodate a wider range of prescription strengths.

How to Find the Right Contact Lenses for the Farsighted

The best type of contact lenses for you depends on various factors including your lifestyle, budget, and the amount of time you are willing to dedicate to lens maintenance.

At TA-TO, you can find the right contact lenses for farsightedness from the world's greatest brands, each sourced directly from the manufacturers to ensure safety and authenticity.

Before you make your choice, it's important to consult with an eye care professional who can help you choose the right lenses based on your specific needs and ensure you know how to care for them properly.

Each type offers different benefits in terms of convenience, cost, and maintenance. Understanding your daily routine and preferences can guide you to the best option for you.

1. Choose Quality and Comfort: At TA-TO, we offer a variety of high-quality lenses designed with the latest technology to ensure comfort and effectiveness.
