Acuvue Contact Lenses
Thinking about Acuvue contact lenses? Many are. Traditional contact lenses were available in just one style – they were hard, spherical discs that were only for correcting far-sightedness. People with astigmatism (nearsightedness), which is caused by an irregular shape of the cornea, couldn’t wear them. And if you were one of the millions of people who found that your close vision required reading glasses while your far-sightedness needed correction, too, you were similarly out of luck. But contacts have changed, and they can now be worn by people with almost any vision problem.
The astigmatism issue, for example, stemmed from the fact that near-sightedness is caused by the cornea being oddly curved, rather like a football. Old-style contacts didn’t fit, and therefore couldn’t correct the problem. But manufacturers like Acuvue offer so-called “toric” lenses, an alternative to the classic spherical contact, that correct astigmatism. With their Advance line of Acuvue contact lenses, they’ve found a way to shape and balance the lens in such a way that it conforms to the irregular cornea. They’re specially designed so that if they slip out of place, the wearer just needs to blink a few times to re-align the lens back into position.
CIBA Vision also makes toric lenses, with the additional bonus that you get can get them as colored contacts. Their FreshLook Colorblends toric contact lenses allow the wearer to change their eye color, even dark brown eyes, to blue, green, sapphire and other colors. The colors are natural looking, and provide nearsighted users with an option that was denied them for many years.
Your Acuvue Contact Options
If you like the idea of colored contact lenses but don’t to use them every day, Acuvue 2 contact lenses are disposable lenses that offer the option of either wearing them every day for two weeks (if you take them out each night) or wearing them continuously for a week, allowing you to sleep with them in for up to six nights. Acuvue contact lenses are a great idea for users who may not always want colored contacts, or who want to switch between contacts and eyeglasses, or who simply like the idea of not having to care for their contacts every night.
Soft contacts are even available for people who need bifocals, with products like the Acuvue Bifocal contact lens created with two prescription strengths in one lens, ideal for people with presbyopia (the “aging eyes” problem that results in the need for reading glasses) as well as people who are tired of swapping two pairs of glasses for far and near vision and for users who engage in activities that require both close and distant sight (like artists and photographers).
These lenses also come with a coating that blocks UV rays, which have been connected with the development of cataracts and other eye problems.
Soft contacts are truly for just about anyone who wants freedom from wearing glasses. Different types of lenses vary in degree of comfort and convenience, so talk to your eye care professional about your soft contact options.
