Whether you suffer from nearsightedness, farsighted-ness,
astigmatism or presbyopia - a contact lens option
is available.
Soft Contact Lenses are made from flexible
plastic that allows oxygen to pass through to the
eyes. Soft contact lenses come in a variety of wearing
types that include:
Daily Wear: Designed to be removed each
day for cleaning, and should be taken out before
sleeping.
Daily Wear Disposable: Soft lenses designed
for single use, removed before sleeping and discarded.
Extended Wear: Can usually be worn up
to seven days without removal.
Extended Wear Disposable: Soft lens worn
from one to six nights, and then discarded.
Frequent and Planned Replacement Lenses:
Soft daily wear or extended-wear lenses that are
replaced on a planned schedule, usually every
two weeks, monthly or quarterly.
Rigid Gas Permeable Lenses, or RGPs, are
made of special, firmer plastics that can allow
even more oxygen to pass through to the eye. RGPs
come in daily and extended wear varieties and are
often better suited for people with high degrees
of astigmatism.
A number of soft and RGP lens designs exist to
meet the vision correction needs of each individual.
Consult your Today's Vision doctor for advice as
to the contact lens type best suited to your vision
needs and lifestyle.
