The contact lens has become a commonplace sight in the households of many across the globe. This man-made wonder is the perfect partner for someone engaged in athletic activities throughout the day. Contact lenses give you a crystal clear vision irrespective of the weather outside. And if you don’t want your eyesight concerns to detract from your style, these lenses will help you add some appeal to your appearance.
So far, there are four different types of lenses - Hybrid Lenses, Gas Permeable Lenses, Soft Lenses, and SiliconeHydrogel Lenses.
A silicone hydrogel contact lenses are your eye’s best friend since it allows more oxygen to pass through the lens to the cornea than regular hydrogel lenses. These lenses turn hard when dry but are always ready to absorb water and become soft and gel-like, thanks to the hydration.
Another feature on the basis of which contact lenses are divided is that of their wearing period. Daily disposable contact lenses come ready for a single day’s use. They can be discarded into the trash at night. With these lenses, there is no need to worry about cleaning or neatly storing them for the next day’s use. A monthly contact lens, on the other hand, is thicker and more durable than its counterpart. That’s because you’ve to sustain them for a period of thirty days. To do this, you can store them in a small two-sided container filled with contact lens solution. Luckily for you, Miacare offers silicone hydrogel contact lenses in both the contact lens category!
Find yourself torn between the two options? Here are a few factors which can help you make the right decision:
- Prescription: Your prescription will play an important role in determining which of two contact lenses will fulfill your needs better.
- Lifestyle: If you are exposed to dirt, sweat, and/or water on a regular basis, then a daily disposable contact lens might be a better fit for you. Having these lenses means that you don’t have to clean them; you can simply take out the lenses and throw them into the trash and take a new one out.
- If you are usually in a contaminant-free environment and have access to a mirror and washroom to clean your lenses if needed, then a monthly lens is a way to go.
- Frequency of Use: If you are going to use your lenses regularly, then a monthly contact lens is a more economical choice. Daily wear contact lenses are better suited to those individuals who plan to use lenses occasionally.
- Cost: Daily wear contact lenses can become expensive if you are using more than one pair in a day. Monthly contact lenses, on the other hand, come with an added cost of contact lenses solution and case.
If you’ve opted for a monthly contact lens then it is important to learn how to take proper care of your silicone hydrogel contact lens. Here are some steps that might come handy when doing the same:
- Wash your
hands to ensure they are clean. Dry them soon after.
- Start by
taking out the lenses from the same eye every time. This will ensure that you don’t mix the two lenses.
- Clean your lenses immediately after taking them out with contact lens disinfecting solutions.
In order to clean your contact lenses, here’s what you need to do:
- Fill your
clean case with fresh compatible contact lens disinfecting solution.
- Place the
lenses, one at a time, in your clean dry palm. Apply a few drops of the contact lens disinfecting solution on it and then gently rub the lenses back and forth to clean their surface.
- Rinse the
lenses with a few more drops of the same prescribed solution. Then gently put them in the clean lens case.
- Refer to the instructions on your contact lens solution to learn more about how long to soak the lenses or how often to change the solution if you don’t plan on using the lenses every day.
And, here is how you can get a clear lens case:
- Empty your lens case of the old solution.
- Rinse your
case with a fresh contact lens solution.
- Allow the
case to dry naturally, by placing it upside down on a clean tissue.
- Replace your contact lens case on a frequent basis, usually every month.
These steps can help you maintain a comfortable contact lens experience.
