All contact lenses are now made of plastic, but hard 
and soft varieties are available. The newer and more 
expensive soft lenses can be bent and will return to 
their original shape. Made of water - absorbing 
plastic, they cause very little discomfort and can be 
worn for as short or as long a period as you like. 
Lenses of hard plastic do cause discomfort during the 
adjustment period and must be worn regularly so that 
another break -in period isn't necessary. However, 
vision through soft contacts isn't as good as through 
hard contacts. Another disadvantage of soft lenses is 
their tendency to absorb eye secretions and mists 
from hair spray, room deodorant and the like.
