MANILA, Philippines - For those who find wearing eyeglasses inconvenient or uncomfortable, care to make the switch to a more convenient and healthier option? Take a look at silicon hydrogel contact lenses.
Here are tips for first-time silicon hydrogel users and for those thinking of switching from eyeglasses to contact lenses:
• First, swap your traditional lenses with a pair that says “no more dry or irritated eyes.” Previous lenses are made of traditional material which blocks the natural flow of oxygen to your eyes. When there is lack of oxygen, your eyes become dry, red, and uncomfortable. Hence, choose lenses that are made of permeable material that allows oxygen to pass through — specifically, silicone hydrogel. It will give your eyes the healthy supply of oxygen it deserves. More oxygen translates to less dryness.
• Second, choose contact lenses that can be worn over time. Traditional lenses need to be worn only for five to six hours. However, realistically, people tend to wear their lenses extensively, especially with the current lifestyle. Choose a lens that guarantees that it can be worn for a longer time. Not only will it be more convenient, most importantly, it’s healthier for the eyes.
Contact lenses can now promise convenience without having to worry about eye irritation. Ciba Vision’s O2Optix breathable contact lens guarantees wearing your lenses considerably longer than you think. It gives you peace of mind as it ensures your eyes are healthy-looking all through the day.
