An important difference between soft and rigid lenses is that soft contact lenses are

  1. Less durable

  2. Less comfortable

  3. Usually more comfortable

  4. More affordable

The correct answer is: Usually more comfortable

Soft contact lenses are usually more comfortable compared to rigid lenses because they are made of a soft, flexible plastic material that conforms to the shape of the eye. This flexibility allows for a more comfortable fit and easier adaptation for the wearer. Rigid lenses, also known as gas permeable or hard lenses, are made of a firm material that does not conform to the eye's shape as easily, which can lead to initial discomfort and a longer adaptation period for the wearer.
