Proactive Contact Lenses

Proactive contact lenses (also known as Proactive 55, or Smart Choice 55), are one of the most popular and affordable 1-2 week disposable soft contact lenses on the market. 

Soft contact lenses have changed a lot over the years.  It used to be that your only choices were soft or hard lenses, and many people with specific eye conditions (astigmatism, presbyopia) were told they would never have the option of wearing contact lenses. 

That has all changed, and thanks to advances in modern technology, almost anyone can find a contact lens that is right for them. 

When choosing which contact lens is right for you, there are many factors to consider.  For example, do you want a disposable lens that you can throw away every day, or a replaceable lens that will last a few weeks or even a month?  Do you need a lens that stays moist while reading or working on the computer all day, or one that repels deposits and irritants while working outdoors? 

Do you have astigmatism?  Then you have a variety of toric lenses to choose from.  Do you need bifocal glasses?  There are many companies that make multifocal contact lenses.  Do you want to enhance your natural eye color, or magnify certain colors to enhance your job capabilities?  Many contacts offer a variety of tinting options. 

For those who need an every-day soft disposable lens at an affordable price, Proactive 55 is the way to go.  Proactive contact lenses are also tinted for easier handling.  This makes it easier to find them in the solution, or when you accidentally drop one.  It will not change your eye color or tint your vision in any way.

The final consideration is, of course, the cost of contact lenses.  However, be careful when comparing contact lense prices online.  There are often hidden costs that are not immediately apparent, and it helps to pay attention when gathering your information about contact lenses. 

For example, one brand of lenses might sell for $15, and another brand might sell for $30.  Your first instinct might be to grab the $15 pair, as they are more affordable, right? 

However, perhaps the $15 pair needs to be replaced after 1-2 weeks, and the $30 pair last a month.  Also, the $15 pair comes with a shipping charge of $20, while the more “expensive” pair ship for only $5.  You can see how hidden costs can quickly change the cost of contact lenses.  You can always count on the fact that Proactive contact lenses are among the most affordable lenses you can find. 

When ordering contact lenses online, however, you still must have a valid contact lens prescription from your eye doctor.  This is one area you do not want to skip; because your vision is too important to mess with.

Why the different names?  Proactive 55 and Smart Choice 55 are the exact same lenses manufactured by the same exact company, just under different names and different packaging.  This is common in an industry that sells the same exact contact lenses for higher prices through an optometrist than online. 

You can find Johnson & Johnson, Cooper Vision, and Bausch and Lomb contact lenses online for much cheaper than at the optometrist's; they just might be under a different name. 

So for the every-day contact lens wearer on a budget, Proactive contact lenses are the only way to go!
