In the modern world, vision problems are no longer a sentence. No need to put up with heavy and uncomfortable glasses that slip during movement or other active activities, fog up when changes in temperature, distort the boundaries of the field of view, making it difficult to adequately perceive the world around and often impose restrictions on the image life. Millions of people around the world use soft contact lenses that are much more comfortable, functional and easier to use than glasses. But often, faced with a wide range of contact lenses, people do not know how to choose the most optimal the quality of the lens, which will be comfortable to use, adequately perform its function and not harm health eye.
When choosing contact lenses, you need to pay attention to several indicators of a contact lens at once:
Moisture content. The moisture content of a contact lens is the percentage of water in the lens material. Lenses with a high moisture content are much more comfortable on the eyes than lenses with a low water content.
Optics. Modern lenses have an aspherical optics that allows you to maintain sharp and clear vision without distortion, light spots and glare that can occur in low light or movement.
Oxygen permeability - indicates the ability of the lens material to transmit oxygen to the cornea. The cornea needs contact with air - it is devoid of blood vessels, and can receive oxygen only in this way. The oxygen permeability of the contact lens is necessary to keep the eyes from reddening when wearing the lenses and to stay healthy.
Elastic modulus. The lower the modulus of elasticity, the softer, more elastic and more comfortable the lens is to use.
The Bausch & Lomb ULTRA lenses are a real revolution. The new product from Bausch & Lomb appeared in the USA in 2014 and will be available in Russia from 2017. Bausch & Lomb ULTRA lenses feature high moisture content, low modulus and excellent oxygen permeability. This was achieved thanks to the unique MoistureSeal double polymerization technology, which allowed to improve all the main parameters of the lens, make them comfortable when worn throughout all day. Bausch & Lomb ULTRA lenses outperform all the most popular lenses in terms of oxygen permeability. This is a great new product for everyone who cares about the health of their eyes. The low modulus of elasticity makes these contact lenses easy to use and comfortable to wear.
Choosing soft contact lenses is easy, considering all the basic parameters. Before choosing a means of correcting vision, it is recommended to consult with an ophthalmologist - a specialist will take into account your wishes and answer all questions that have arisen during the choice of lenses.
