These cater for most types of vision and lifestyles now. Modern contact lens materials allow extended wear, suitable for people who work shifts or unsocial hours. For those with a more ordered lifestyle there are daily lenses or monthly disposable lenses which can be paid for in installments by direct debit which spreads the cost. As we grow older and our visual needs change, we also have the choice of bifocal or varifocal lenses.

For fashion, there are coloured lenses and for fun, 'Wild Eyes' which can make you look like a cat, or an alien. They are popular for parties, night clubs or generally crazy people!
