    For years, many people who have astigmatism have not been able to wear contact lenses. Contact lenses were originally made as a substitute for wearing glasses for people who had simple vision corrections. Now, people with astigmatism can also enjoy the freedom of wearing contact lenses without the inconvenience of wearing glasses.

    Astigmatism is the most common problem that people experience with their vision. It can appear in two forms: a corneal astigmatism is when the cornea of your eye is not shaped in a perfect sphere and a lenticular astigmatism is caused by an irregular shaped lens located behind the cornea. Contact lenses were not originally designed to fit the irregularity of the shape of the cornea or the lens behind the cornea.

    Contact lenses are now designed to correct most vision problems now. If you have astigmatism you now have the option to purchase contact lenses and you can finally get rid of those glasses. Contact lenses to correct astigmatism are called toric lenses. These lenses are made from the same material as regular contact lenses although the design of the lens is what sets them apart from regular contact lenses. Since they are made from the same material as regular contact lenses, you can purchase toric lenses in either soft of hard lenses.

  • Filed under: contact lense Best Contact Lenses by Contact Lense Reporter on Jun 2nd, 2010

    There are a number of options when choosing the best contact lenses. There are prescription and cosmetic lenses for example. Prescription lenses can be used to correct defects in the eyesight, while cosmetic lenses simply change the eye color, or otherwise affect how the eyes look.

    Most lenses that are available today are soft contact lenses. These are far more comfortable than the rigid lenses that were common in the past. Comfort is the most important factor when choosing contact lenses. It should feel as if there is nothing in the eye when contact lenses are being worn. There should be no irritation. If the eyes are particularly sensitive, then contact lenses may cause dryness, itchiness and an increased likelihood of infections such as conjunctivitis. These problems can be avoided in most people by choosing the appropriate type of contact lens, and by taking good care of the lenses while they are being used. Most lenses need to be cleaned in between uses, and hygiene is also important even when disposable daily lenses are being used.

    It is common for people to differentiate between contact lenses according to the length of time for which they can be worn. Lenses that are designed for shorter-term use tend to be thinner, more lightweight and often more comfortable than the more durable kinds of lenses. Reusable lenses also need more care than disposable ones that are simply discarded at the end of the day. The best contact lenses will be suitable for an individual’s eyes, but will also match that individual’s lifestyle.

  • Filed under: contact lenses Prescription Contact Lenses by Contact Lense Reporter on May 25th, 2010

    Prescription contact lenses are a convenient and comfortable means of correcting eyesight. Many people dislike wearing corrective glasses, and contact lenses are a good alternative. They are far less drastic than laser eye surgery, and they can be a lot cheaper too.

    There are plenty of reasons why so many people prefer to wear prescription contact lenses rather than glasses. Glasses get dirty easily and have to be cleaned. The frames can get in the way and they partly block vision, particularly when the frames are thick. They provide no vision at all around the periphery. No glasses can cover the entire field of vision, as there is always a gap between the edges of the lens and the face. If glasses are not fitted correctly, or if they are old and perhaps slightly misshapen, they can slip or even fall off completely.

    Wearing glasses also makes it impossible to wear sunglasses. There are prescription sunglasses, and prescription glasses that become darker in strong sunlight, but these are an additional expense that not every glasses wearer can afford.

  • Filed under: contact lenses Hard Contact Lenses by Contact Lense Reporter on Apr 26th, 2010

    Hard contact lenses were first introduced by William Feinbloom. They were made of glass which caused considerable eye irritation and could not be worn for extended periods of time. Hard lenses were first made by Feinbloom with polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). These new lenses made from PMMA became extremely convenient for contact lens users and are commonly referred to as hard lenses.

    While hard lenses were considered a great discovery for those that didn’t want to deal with the hassle of wearing glasses, they became not so ideal after a while. The hassle of constantly using eye drops to keep both your eyes and your contacts moist became tedious. Throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s, these hard contact lenses began their journey to become more “eye-friendly” and were manufactured and developed to allow for more oxygen to enter the eye through the contact lens itself. This is when improved rigid materials were developed and are oxygen-permeable.

    One of the biggest advantages of hard contact lenses is that they are non-porous which prevents chemicals and harmful gases to reach the eye through the contact lens. Hard contact lenses give the cornea a new refracting surface that goes beyond the traditional and natural shape of the eye. These lenses can give people a higher vision quality or have a distorted shape to their cornea.

    Bifocal contact lenses are designed for those who suffer from presbyopia. They will provide anyone battling with presbyopia extremely clear vision and are the best contacts to use to help your vision.

    Presbyopia is a visual condition that usually begins around the age of 40 and presents itself by creating difficulty when reading any type of reading material up close. Their vision becomes blurred when reading up close and often finds themselves holding reading material further from their eyes in order to see clearly. Even with glasses for those that are typically farsighted and are wearing glass to correct their vision they, too, often find themselves having difficulty seeing things up close even with corrective lenses. Most people who begin to develop presbyopia find themselves becoming fatigued, suffering from headaches and eye strain when doing activities such as embroidery and sewing where they have to hold the objects up close in order to do the project.

    Bifocal lenses are available in both soft materials and rigid gas permeable materials. Some bifocal contact lenses can be worn as disposable lenses where they are put in and taken out every morning and every night respectively, and will then have to dispose of the contact lenses after a certain period of time and put in fresh contact lenses. Additionally, these lenses can be worn continuously for up to 30 days in which they will need to be disposed and new lenses must be put in.

Almost anyone can wear these contact lenses, although there are still some people who have eyes that are too sensitive to bear any type of contact lens. The basic Purevision lenses are suitable for people in their 20s and 30s who are short sighted (myopic).
