Soft contact lenses are also known as silicone hydrogel lenses. These lenses are a type of contact lens that is made of a soft, flexible plastic material. They are designed to contour the shape of the eye and provide a comfortable fit for the wearer. Other common synonyms for soft contact lenses include hydrophilic contact lenses, daily wear contact lenses, and extended wear contact lenses. Soft contact lenses are an excellent choice for people with dry eyes, allergies, and other eye conditions that may make it difficult to wear traditional hard contact lenses. They are also available in a range of colors and designs, making them a popular choice for cosmetic purposes.
