soft lenses

Bendable vision correctors

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

They're more comfortable than rigid lenses and easier to adapt to, making them the most common type prescribed: I switched to soft lenses because the hard ones irritated my eyes.

Also called soft contacts.
