How do the different types of contact lenses affect user vision quality and eye health e.g. soft, hard, spherical, toric, RGP, monovision?

In general, soft contact lenses are a lot more comfortable than rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses. They are also much easier to fit, and can give very good vision. Both soft and RGP lenses may be suitable for many people. But each has their potential pros and cons. For example, soft contact lenses maybe a little more drying to the eye than RGPs, and for people with very high spectacle powers, sometimes soft contact lenses may not allow such a long period of wear each day because of issues with oxygen transmission with thick lenses.

If certain types of fish are known to have high mercury levels, does it mean that we should avoid them completely to prevent harming our bodies?

Mercury is a toxic heavy metal which is widely dispersed in nature. Most human exposure results from fish consumption or dental amalgam. Human exposure to the vapour of metallic mercury dates back to antiquity but continues today in occupational settings and from dental amalgam. Health risks from methylmercury in edible tissues of fish have been the subject of several large epidemiological investigations and continue to be the subject of intense debate. Mercury is most notable for its neurological effects. Too much mercury can cause numbness, memory issues, anxiety, low mood, and tremors.
