Soft Lenses

24 July 2026 3 min read Dr Dirk Booysen

Soft contact lenses are made from flexible, breathable materials that allow oxygen to reach the surface of the eye. They are among the most popular types of contact lens, valued for their comfort and ease of wear. Soft lenses suit a wide range of prescriptions and lifestyles, and many people find they adapt to them quickly and easily.

Why many people choose soft lenses

Soft lenses tend to feel comfortable from early on and are available in several different wearing schedules to suit different routines and needs.

  • Comfortable and generally easy to adapt to
  • Available as daily, monthly and other options
  • Suitable for many prescriptions, including astigmatism
