A member asked:
What kind of contact lenses should i get if i haven't worn them for 20 years?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Soft contact lens: If your tear formation is sufficient, and your cornea is healthy and your eye lids are healthy to allow safe wear of a contact lens then a soft contact lens is the way to go.
