soft contacts

Flexible vision correctors

Soft contacts are contact lenses made from flexible, water-absorbing plastic that conforms to the eye's surface.

They're the most common type of corrective contact lens, distinguished from rigid gas-permeable lenses: I switched to soft contacts because they're more comfortable.

The term is informal shorthand for soft contact lenses.
