In recent years contact lenses have become a fast-growing health
product. For many people, contact lenses are a comfortable,
convenient alternative to glasses. They are great for playing
sports, driving, or work. Unfortunately, for others contact
lenses are not so comfortable. People with dry eyes, bad
allergies, or sensitive eyes, have had many problems adjusting
to their new contact lenses, and therefore have had to stick
with their glasses. Recently, contact lens manufacturers have
been busy making advancements in the products to bring comfort
to a wider range of people.
Acuvue Advance and O2 Optix are two lenses that
are helping people with dry eyes. These lenses are called
silicon hydrogels, and are made to allow more oxygen to reach
the surface of a wearer's eyes. This promotes eye health and
allows the eye to retain more moisture. When properly cared for
these lenses can allow people who traditionally could not wear
contacts to wear them with comfort.
Personally, I made the switch to silicon hydrogels roughly 3
months ago and I have been extremely happy with the results. I
have had no problems with the lenses, and they are extremely
comfortable. I spend at least 8 hours a day in front of a
computer, and this can be very straining on lens wearers, but
with my new lenses my eyes feel great.
Acuvue has recently also introduced Acuvue Oasys and Acuvue Advance for
Astigmatism. Acuvue Oasys is a lens similar to the Acuvue 2
lens, but in a silicon hydrogel, and Advance for Astigmatism
allows people with eye problems who wear toric lenses try the
comfort of hydrogels as well.
