Your daily disposable contact lens Information
Acuvue contact lenses are one of the most excellent, well-liked and fashionable brands of contact lenses available today. The series of Acuvue contacts includes several different kinds of contacts like Acuvue, Acuvue 2 Colors and Acuvue Advanced. The Acuvue contact lenses are easily available almost anywhere in the world. An exception is the Acuvue Oasys which is not so easy to find as it is a comparatively newer type of contact lenses and is not known as well as the others in its brand.
Just like other contact lenses, the Acuvue contact lenses have been designed to rectify problems in vision like near sightedness, far sightedness, astigmatism or the failure to change focus from near to far. They fall in the category of soft lenses and are made of plastic polymers such as galyfilcon A, etafilcon A or senofilcon A. Some of the Acuvue contacts may have a cosmetic purpose like changing the color of your eyes to what you always wanted.
The different Acuvue contact lenses can be worn for different periods. Some can be worn for two weeks and then you have to dispose of them. Others are designed to use only for one day so you can put them on in the morning and throw them away at the end of the day. All contacts are made for usage during the day so you have to take them out when you go to bed. However, there are some Acuvue contacts that are approved for night use as well.
Although Acuvue contact lenses are possibly the best kind of contact lenses, it doesn’t mean that you should buy them because of this reason without first consulting your eye doctor. He/she will help you find which lens suits your problem best and will tell you how to clean, disinfect, store and replace your contacts. Taking meticulous care of your contact lenses should become a habit. If you opt for the 1-Day Acuvue contacts, you don’t have to bother about cleaning or storing them as you have to throw them out after each use.
If you use daily wear Acuvue contact lenses, you must remember to take them out and disinfect them each time you take them off, normally at the end of the day. These need to be replaced every fortnight. The continuous wear lenses are less demanding as compared to the daily wear lenses. You need not take them off at the end of the day and you can sleep in them. This will save you some time as you don’t have to clean them each time. These lenses need to be disposed of after a week. The daily disposable Acuvue contacts are the simplest to use; you put them on in the morning, remove them at the end of the day and dispose of them. You can then use a fresh pair the next day.
All women want to look good and Acuvue contact lenses help them improve their appearance. So if you are wearing contact lenses, here are some things you should keep in mind before you wear them. Don’t ever apply eye makeup after you wear your contacts and also take makeup off only after you have removed the contacts. Before you put on your contacts, you should wash your hands as even things like moisturizer can create various kinds of problems to your eye or even damage the lens. Don’t wear your contacts when you go to the beauty salon as the fumes and sprays can be bad. And lastly, don’t forget to remove your Acuvue contacts before you go for a bath as the water and vapors can be harmful.

Glass contacts were the first hard contact lens developed. They could not be tolerated for long periods of time and are no longer prescribed. PMMA (polymethyl metacrylate), or Plexiglas, lenses were developed to replace the glass lens. They were lighter but still uncomfortable. Plexiglas lenses caused corneal damage due to decrease oxygen flow. They are still available but rarely prescribed. Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) lenses are the most prescribed hard contact lens today.
Rigid gas permeable lenses are made of a hard material that allows increased oxygen flow as compared to the PMMA lens. Therefore it avoids the corneal damage caused by its predecessor. RGP lenses offer many other benefits to the contact lens wearer.
ADVANTAGES OF RIGID GAS PERMEABLE LENSES
• Retain shape better than
soft contact lenses
• Provide better vision than soft contact lenses
• Increase durability, lasting up to a year
• Less costly due to increase durability
• Can be worn occasionally or regularly when cared for properly
• Increase visual clarity
• Treats astigmatism and karatoconus well as the lens can be formed to correct such problems
• Effectively treats presbyopia
• Used to correct the cornea shape during sleep
• Can slow down the progression of near-sightedness in children
DISADVANTAGES OF RIGID GS PERMEABLE LENSES
• Take longer for the wearer to adjust to and achieve max comfort than soft contact lenses
• “spectacle blur”- a blurring of the vision that occurs when the contacts are removed that may last for a period of time
• Requires greater care during cleaning
Rigid Gas Permeable lenses are equal if not better than soft contact lenses but thye are much less popular because they are usually uncomfortable to wear. Speak with your optometrist to determine what is best for you.
