Optima Toric Contact Lenses For Astigmatism Offer Custom-Fitted, Long-Lasting Convenience

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

Some people need the sturdy, custom-fitted options that only conventional toric contact lenses for astigmatism can provide. If that describes you, then you may want to consider Optima Toric lenses from Bausch & Lomb. These long-lasting lenses are for daily wear and removal, and will last for several months and possibly up to a year if you take good care of them.

Most individuals tend to opt for disposable toric lenses because of the convenience of not having to worry too much about cleaning schedules. But not everyone makes this choice. Some people are worried about the effect on the environment from throwing things away too easily. Others need a custom fitted solution that can’t be met by disposable lenses. For these people, a conventional contact lens that is rarely replaced is usually the answer.

Optima Toric lenses are designed to last a long time. They are carefully made with patented lathe-cutting technology. They offer a prism ballast with a heavier weight at the bottom of the lens to make sure it sits properly on the eye. They are made to order for a wide variety of custom prescriptions.

Air Optix For Astigmatism Toric Contact Lenses Use Technology To Maximize Wearing Comfort

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Are you tired of toric contact lenses for astigmatism that stick to your eyes, cause you terrible itchiness and redness, or are just plain bad? If so, you may want to consider Air Optix For Astigmatism lenses from CIBA Vision. Approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for either daily wear or extended continuous wear of up to six nights, these lenses are specifically designed to address the problems encountered by so many contact lens users.

When considering wearing comfort, look to a lens’s ability to transmit oxygen and ability to retain moisture. These two factors, more than any other, will determine how good a lens feels in the eye. As far as moisture is concerned, Air Optix lenses are made of lotrafilcon B, a substance that absorbs water and resists its eventual dehydration while the lens is being worn.

The other factor, oxygen transmission, is equally important. Air Optix for Astigmatism lenses permit up to seven times more oxygen compared to some other contact lens brands, bringing a huge amount of much needed oxygen to your cornea. That ensures not just your cornea’s good health, but also contributes greatly to your lenses feeling comfortable.

Purevision Toric Contact Lenses Allow For An Entire 30 Days Of Continuous Wear

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

Are you looking for a brand of toric contact lenses for astigmatism that let you maximize the amount of time you can keep them in your eyes? Most extended wear brands allow up to seven days of continuous wear. But there is one brand, Purevision Toric contact lenses from Bausch and Lomb, that are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for up to thirty days of continuous non-stop wear before needing replacement. That is an incredibly long period of time for contact lenses.

You may wonder how such a long amount of wearing time is possible. Bausch and Lomb uses careful engineering techniques to make sure the lenses are safe for use in this manner. They are constructed of a polymer called AerGel, which is designed to allow unusually large amounts of oxygen to pass through the lens and to the eye. Oxygen transfer is essential for having healthy eyes, so only a substance permitting the highest amounts of transfer possible could even be considered for extended wear of such length. Indeed, AerGel allows up to five times as much oxygen through the lenses as compared to other contact lens brands. It’s almost like wearing nothing.

When Only Custom-Made Astigmatism Contact Lenses Are The Answer, Try Hydrasoft Toric Options

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

Astigmatism occurs in varying levels of severity among different people. While ordinary astigmatisms can be addressed by the many contact lens brands on the market, sometimes an astigmatism is so extreme that they go beyond the ability of mainstream brands to cure. If that’s true for you, don’t despair. Hydrasoft Toric Options from CooperVision are made for people like you.

What distinguishes Hydrasoft Toric Options contacts for astigmatism is that they are custom-made for people who need them, unlike the more generic alternatives found in other brands. CooperVision makes these lenses in a wide variety of power and correction combinations, and is in fact able to fill over 13 million prescriptions with them. Your personal prescription is very likely to fall in this category, which is great news for fighting your blurry vision.

First time buyers of Hydrasoft lenses might be confused by the way they are categorized and named. The lenses are separated into “divisions” that differ on the amount of customization and correction strength needed. Division I Standard lenses are the lowest category and most like what you will find elsewhere, with perhaps just a slight bit of variation. Division II Specialty are a cut above Division I, and offer greater flexibility and customization. Division III Custom lenses offer heavy customization that really starts to fall outside the range of what can be found in other lenses. Division IV Custom lenses are for people who have the greatest, most unusual needs in their prescriptions. Your eye doctor will advise you on the right Hydrasoft Toric Options category for you.

Preference Toric Contact Lenses Are Among The Most Convenient, Offering Quarterly Replacement

Monday, January 11th, 2010

Are you tired of the hassle associated with remembering to replace your toric contact lenses for astigmatism every month, week or day? Or maybe you’re trying to be environmentally conscious and hate the waste associated with disposable lenses. Whatever the case may be, there’s a solution for you. Preference Toric contact lenses from CooperVision feature an amazingly low quarterly replacement schedule. That means you only have to throw them away and replace them four times per year!

As you can imagine, any contact lens intended for quarterly replacement must be extraordinarily sturdy. Three months of wear and tear is a long time. Preference Toric lenses are made up of a polymer called tetrafilcon A, a highly durable substance that will make your lenses last the entire three months.

Tetrafilcon A is also deposit-resistant, another important feature for a lens of such long duration. As the days and weeks go by, lenses tend to accumulate protein deposits and other detritus produced from tears. This buildup will eventually cause discomfort, dryness, and could ultimately lead to further problems or infection. By resisting this buildup of deposits, Preference Toric lenses promote a greater comfort level as well as healthier, moister eyes.

Proclear Toric Contact Lenses May Be For You If You Have Astigmatism And Your Current Lenses Get Dry

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

Do your current toric contact lenses for astigmatism keep you rubbing your itchy eyes and pulling your hair out in frustration?

Vertex Toric Contact Lenses Offer Crystal Clear Vision For Daily Or Extended Wear

Friday, December 18th, 2009

Do you suffer from astigmatism but struggle with toric contact lenses that are itchy or dry? Sometimes a more frequent replacement schedule can help. Vertex Toric contact lenses from CooperVision are typically worn from one to two weeks between replacements. They’re also usually for daily wear and removal, although some people can tolerate them for up to seven days of extended non-stop wear.

A high moisture level is a key factor for maximum wearing comfort. Vertex Toric lenses are made of methafilcon A, a water-retaining substance that allows the lens to absorb up to 55% of itself in water. This consistently high moisture level is key in making the lenses feel smooth and comfortable for as long as you are wearing them.

Toric lenses like Vertex Toric are specially crafted to combat astigmatism, which is a condition where your cornea is shaped oddly more like an egg than a perfect soccer ball shape. The unfortunate result of this is that light rays become distorted and jump around instead of focusing correctly on the retina, causing you the blurred vision to which you are accustomed without eye contacts or glasses. Vertex Toric lenses cure the astigmatism by sitting atop the cornea and refracting those light rays back into the retina where they belong, sharpening their focus and returning you to perfect vision.

Frequency 55 Toric Contact Lenses For Astigmatism Are A Great Up-And-Coming Alternative

Friday, December 18th, 2009

Frequency 55 Toric contact lenses for astigmatism are an increasingly popular brand of toric lenses from CooperVision that offer excellent comfort and vision quality on a convenient monthly replacement schedule. They may be worn and removed daily, or may optionally be used for extended wear of up to seven days.

Having an astigmatism means that your eye doesn’t properly focus light rays like it should. It is shaped oddly, more like an oval than a sphere, which prevents rays of light from falling on the retina where they belong. Instead they get scattered around, causing blurry vision. Frequency 55 cures the problem by acting as a prism, sitting atop the cornea and re-sharpening the focus for light rays as they enter the retina and restoring sharp 20/20 vision for you.

Wearing comfort for your toric contact lenses is dependent on how much moisture the lenses attract and retain throughout the day. Frequency 55 Toric lenses are made from methafilcon B, a soft co-polymer made of water-absorbing molecules. Each lens has a 55% water content, producing a high level of moisture for your eyes for as long as you are wearing your lenses.

Biomedics Toric Contact Lenses Are One Of the Most Comfortable Brands You Can Buy

Saturday, December 12th, 2009

Want to wear toric contact lenses for astigmatism that were preferred by eight out of ten patients in a recent clinical study according to the manufacturer? Check out Biomedics Toric lenses from CooperVision, a high-quality brand that features a very high level of wearing comfort while delivering sharp visual acuity.

Biomedics Toric lenses are most often worn on a two-week replacement cycle with daily removal and cleaning. Sometimes they can also be used on a continuous wear basis for up to seven days with weekly replacement.

When you have astigmatism, light rays scatter and become distorted instead of landing on the retina. That is due to the eye being shaped oddly, more like an egg than a perfect sphere. This all causes blurry vision. When you wear lenses like Biomedics Toric, however, the problem is reversed as the lenses compensate for the odd shape and re-direct light back into the retina, resulting in sharp 20/20 vision once again.

Biomedics Toric lenses are constructed of Ocufilcon D, a moisture-absorbing substance comprised of 55% water. Additionally, CooperVision employs a thinner patented edge on the lenses. The combination of a high water content and thinner edges provide a higher level of wearing comfort for as long as you wear your lenses.
