Moisturizing Contact Lenses- the most recent Invention In Ophthalmology
The very introduction of contacts stirred a revolution in the discipline of ophthalmology and changed the way folk with poor vision saw the globe. Contacts have been around for quite some while now. They serve as the perfect option for those who are not willing to bear the brunt of wearing dorky specs. Though contact lenses are quite advantageous, they're accompanied with certain complica-tions too. One of the most grouchy facets of these contact lenses is they cause dryness in the eyes and may lead to irritation too in some cases.
Another breakthrough has surfaced in the current years and is already in the early stages of commercial viability- the introduction of moisturizing contact lenses. Extensive and very expensive research has revealed that lenses which can moisturize themselves and your eyes can be made and sold in a com-mercially doable demeanour. Having dry eyes was one of the main worries that forced people to give up contacts in favour of glasses but not anymore. Now you can purchase moisturizing contact lenses which would simply wash away this problem.
The sense behind these new type of contacts is that they themselves can carry the moisturizer that may be gradually released in the eye to prevent dehydration of the eye and lens itself. This is achieved be putting a layer of hydrating agent on the lens itself. As you blink, the coating of the lens gets melted at a very slow speed and when it comes in contact with the eye, it acts as the moisturising agent.
Before the introduction of moisturizing contacts, folk found it impossible to wear lenses in areas that were dry or smoky. This is because such environment make the lenses and the eyes dry up much quicker. As a result, one is compelled to use a saline hydrating solution at frequent intervals in order to prevent the dryness of eyes. But trying a saline moisturizing solution may not be possible always particularly if you're in a sports bar or at a barbecue. This is where moisturizing contact lenses come to your rescue.
Purchasing these new sort of moisturizing lenses isn't a big deal. A number of heavy weight names in the eye care product industry are making this kind of contacts and as they have met the economies of scale, these moisturizing contact lenses have become exceedingly affordable. The best product in this range is un-doubtedly Focus Dailies with AquaRelease. CibaVision contact lenses range also includes other moisturizing lenses and so does Bausch & Lomb. Color contacts with these moisturizing capabilities are also in the pipeline.
If you're a user of daily contact lenses, you must have surely faced the problem of dried eyes. However, do not let the issue of dry eyes stop you from wearing contact lenses. Instead opt for moisturizing contact lenses and keep the problem of dry eyes ay bay. |
