The excitement is building and you can hardly wait to see the &quot;new you.&quot; But just a few minutes of educating yourself on the &quot;basics&quot; can make that transition from glasses to contact lenses successful the first time out. Just follow these few suggestions:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;1. Have your eyes examined and fitted by a reputable eye care specialist. Your doctor not only can make sure your prescription is right for you, but he/she will take into consideration the overall health of your eyes, as well as your daily activities and budget when recommending the type of contact lens that will best suit your needs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;Today, contact lenses come in many different types, styles and colors. But not all will be suitable for you or your lifestyle. Your eye care specialist will help you make that decision.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;2. Don&#39;t wear your contacts longer than recommended.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;When you first begin wearing contacts, your doctor will suggest limited wear-time, increasing at intervals until you wear them all day with comfort.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;Wearing contacts too long in the beginning can be harmful to your eyes and even irritate them to the point that you can&#39;t wear them at all, thus defeating the purpose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;After the initial phase, then follow the recommended wear-time for the type of contact lens you have. Some lenses are &quot;extended wear&quot; and can be worn for extended periods of time. Some are daily disposables. Be sure you wear them only the recommended length of time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;But, above all, never wear your contact lenses longer than they are comfortable.&lt;br /&gt;Your eyes will let you know when they&#39;ve had enough!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;3. Always make sure your hands are clean and lint-free before inserting or removing your contact lenses. Dirt, lotions, soap and chemicals (or even lint from a towel) can be transferred to your contact lenses through touch. Contaminated lenses can cause eye irritation or even blurred vision or worse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;If your contacts sting your eyes, remove them immediately and clean them thoroughly with the recommended cleaning and disinfecting solution&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;4. Keep your eyes lubricated! Some people are more prone to dry eyes, but contact lens wearers in general need to keep moisture in their eyes. There are many saline and rewetting solutions on the market. Ask your doctor to recommend a solution for your contact lenses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;If you are prone to dry eyes, the new Silicone Extended Wear Disposables help reduce dry eye irritation. In fact, they can be worn for up to 30 days continuously, assuming they are comfortable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;If your contact lenses dry out and stick to your eye, put a few drops of rewetting or saline solution in your eye and close your eyes for a moment before trying to remove the contact lens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;Never use saliva or water to rewet your contact lenses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;Use only eye drops that are recommended specifically for contact lenses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;5. Clean and disinfect your contacts daily (even extended-wear contacts). As soon as you insert your lenses in your eyes, promptly clean the contact lens case with a sterile solution or boiling water. Make sure it&#39;s dry before closing the lid. When you&#39;re ready to remove your lenses, remove them one lens at a time and clean them with the recommended solution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;There are many solutions on the market, some requiring you to rub the lens in a few drops of the solution. Read and follow the directions carefully. Place your lens in the case and fill with the appropriate soaking and disinfecting solution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;Once a week, clean your contacts with enzymatic cleaner. This helps remove protein build-up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;Following these 5 simple tips will help make your contact-wearing experience an enjoyable one! But if you have any problems, consult your eye care specialists immediately. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;&quot;&gt;About The Author&lt;br /&gt;Debbie Pettitt is a contact wearer herself and has a website, &lt;a href=&quot;http://contactlensvision.com/&quot;&gt;Contact Lens Vision&lt;/a&gt;, which is full of information and resources to assist people in all aspects of contact lens wearing, buying and care. &lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://contactlenses4u.blogspot.com/feeds/114707520076300708/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/27510287/114707520076300708' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27510287/posts/default/114707520076300708'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27510287/posts/default/114707520076300708'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://contactlenses4u.blogspot.com/2006/06/5-tips-for-smooth-transition-to.html' title='5 Tips For a Smooth Transition to Contact Lenses'/><author><name>Veronica</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05618158943391015439</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iE7CDnt4fj0/Sg7U6UeEkhI/AAAAAAAAAEk/T7XrEjb1W_k/S220/%E3%82%B3%E3%83%94%E3%83%BC+%EF%BD%9E+DSC01125.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27510287.post-114724243453814744</id><published>2006-05-20T13:19:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2009-11-15T02:53:06.080+07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Articles of Contact Lenses"/><title type='text'>Contact Lenses 101</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;Contact Lenses 101&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;by: Briana Liebmann&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;Contact lenses are a great alternative to glasses. Many people who live an active lifestyle have enjoyed the ease and convenience of contacts now for many years. Today, there is an extensive choice to best fit your need. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Contacts now have so many options; it may seem a bit overwhelming to find the right pair for you. In truth, there are a few things you should know when shopping for contacts. But when done right, you will find much better prices and varieties than your optometrist could provide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a visit to your eye doctor, you can ask for a prescription of your eyes. This little sheet of paper will tell you everything you want to know about the shape, size, and power of your eyes. First, you will need to decipher the abbreviations on your prescription&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PWR: this is the strength in diopters your new lenses must have in order to sharpen your sight to an acceptable level.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BC: Known as back curvature, this number indicates the shape of your cornea and helps with overall fit and comfort.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DIA: The distance in milliliters across your contact lenses&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CYL: For those of you with astigmatism, this measures how advanced it is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AXIS: Also for astigmatism patients, this helps the contacts correct the oval&lt;br /&gt;shape of your cornea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ADD: For bifocal users, this will show the additional strength in the section of your contacts used for reading or close viewing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;COLOR: If you have chosen contacts that will enhance or change your eye color, your desired color will be shown here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BRAND: If your doctor has prescribed a certain brand for you, in most cases, retailers are required to sell you only that brand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that you know what your prescription means, you can now shop for the best contacts for you, there are some things to note though. After talking to your doctor, you should be aware if you need soft or gas permeable contacts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Soft contacts are quite common and take less time for your eyes to adjust to. Because they contain anywhere from 25% to 79% water, they are more comfortable but less durable. Some also allow you to sleep in them. Soft contacts are generally replaced more often than gas permeable lenses. The life expectancy of soft contacts vary from once a day to once every few months. This factor depends on upkeep and how sensitive your eyes are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gas permeable lenses are made from a rigid silicone which is considerably more durable and longer lasting. In the long run, gas permeables are slightly more expensive up front but less expensive over time since one pair will last a couple of years compared to soft contacts lasting an average of around a month.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A new craze today is color changing or enhancing contacts. Some people add this feature to their already existing prescription and some even buy them simply for decoration. Color can come in a variety of intensities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tinted contacts have a visible tint meant to enhance the natural color of your eyes. this type looks best on light colored eyes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Color tints have an opaque solid color pattern around the center of the lens which can dramatically change eye color. The color pattern is based off of natural color occurrences in the iris. The center is clear so you can see. These lenses come in colors such as blue, hazel, green, and even violet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Costume tints have been used in movies for special eye effects and are now available to the general public. Options include white-out, spiral, cheetah, and alien. These are obviously not for everyone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With this information, shopping for the best contacts can be a fun and rewarding experience. You are almost guaranteed a better price and more ease than conventional ordering from your optometrist. The best way to find the best prices is to browse around and compare prices.

Wearers would obviouly prefer lenses they can sleep in with total safety, so it was only a matter of time before the industry developed a safe product for continuous wear. After years of ongoing development and testing, such lenses are now readilly available for everone to wear at an affordable price. This article looks at what&#39;s so special about silicone hydrogel lenses and why they might be just the right choice for you. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;YEARS IN DEVELOPMENT &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;The concept of lenses made from silicone hydrogel was first proposed over 20 years ago. The potential benefits were clear but the technological challenge was as difficult as needing to combine oil and water to produce an optically clear product. Researcher organizations have to date invested considerable academic and financial resources to achieve the high performance soft lenses of today. They have done this quite simply because they see this material as the way forward and the ultimate standard of the future. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;At the time of writing, silicone hydrogel lenses are available in the USA from four manufacturers: &quot;Night &amp;amp; Day&quot; and &quot;O2OPTIX&quot; from CIBA Vision, &quot;Pure Vision&quot; from Bausch &amp;amp; Lomb, and &quot;Acuvue OASYS&quot; and &quot;Advance&quot; from J&amp;amp;J Vision Care. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;OXYGEN TRANSPORT &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;So what&#39;s so special about silicone hydrogel as a lens material? Essentially, the great benefit of this material is it&#39;s ability to transport oxygen to the eye and thus maintain proper eye health. Modern contact lens technology is all to do with oxygen permability, which is measured using the &quot;Dk&quot; index. And for optimal oxygen transmission, this must be as high as possible. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;The Dk of traditional, non-silicone based hydrogel lenses is directly related to the amount of water that the material can hold, since oxygen dissolves into the water-component of the material and thus diffuses through the lens. The Dk in fact increases logarithmically with increasing water content. Water itself has a Dk of only 80, thus placing a ceiling on the Dk of convential materials, and the original soft contact lens material, polyHEMA, possesses a Dk of only around 10 (with a water content of about 38%). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;However, in silicone hydrogels, the relationship between Dk and water content is the opposite. Here higher water content implies lower Dk. With these lenses Dk increases significantly as the silicone content - not water content - of the lens increases. The Dk values of silicone hydrogel contact lenses are much higher than those of older soft lens materials. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;SLEEPING IN CONTACT LENSES &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;According to market data from CIBA Vision, 84% of soft contact lens wearers occasionally sleep with their lenses in, and one-third admit to doing this regularly. 25% of wearers of one to two-week disposable lenses with low oxygen transmissibility occasionally or routinely sleep in their lenses overnight. And 72% of soft contact lens wearers said they would prefer to be allowed to wear their lenses overnight provided it was safe. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;Thus the demand for lenses with the capablities of silicone hydrogels is evidently very high with almost three-quarters of soft lens wearers wanting to be able to sleep in their lenses. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;LENS HANDLING &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;Silicone hydrogel lenses are significantly more rigid than their conventional counterparts, due to the presence of silicone. This increased rigidity does possess some advantages, making the lenses markedly easier to handle and thus the ideal choice for wearers with a less delicate touch. There is a downside to this however in that the rigidity makes the lenses less prone to adopting the shape of the eye so readily, resulting in the possibility for some of reduced comfort. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;REDUCED DEPOSITIONS &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;Historically, the deposition of proteins and lipids has been a problem with contact lenses. The amount of depositions is essentially linked to the duration of wear, the lens material and the tear composition of each individual wearer. With traditional lenses, a frequent replacement schedule greatly reduces the buildup of harmful deposits. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;Silicone hydrogel contact lenses have been proven to offer major benefits in the reduction of protein and lysozyme deposition. Indeed, combined with the correct replacement schedule and appropriate care system, problems associated with protein deposition have become almost a thing of the past. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;DRY EYES &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;A problem frequently encountered by wearers of traditional soft contact lenses is one of a feeling of discomfort and &quot;grittiness&quot; in the eyes towards the end of the day. It has been reported that after one week wearing silicone hydrogel lenses, the quantity of regular soft lens wearers in a particular study group who previously suffered significantly from end-of-day dryness, was reduced dramatically to only 13% of the sample. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;LIFESTYLE BENEFITS &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;Silicone hydrogel contact lenses also provide some benefits that conventional lenses don&#39;t. Continuous wear contact lenses can be particularly beneficial for use by members of certain professions, such as medical workers, police, the armed forces and firefighters who frequently work unpredictable and long hours. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;Furthermore, an increasing numbers of contact lens wearers can now enjoy active outdoor lifestyles, enjoying pursuits such as camping and hiking where it is often difficult to handle and disinfect the lenses with the appropriate level of hygiene. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;THE FUTURE FOR CONTACT LENSES &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;There is much evidence to suggest that, owing to their significant benefits over conventional soft lenses, silicone hydrogel lenses will ultimately, and sooner rather than later, displace other types of contact lens as the prefferred choice for both daily and overnight wear for the majority of contact lens wearers. Silicone hydrogel lenses provide a much improved physical performance, excellent handling properties and greater comfort. They might be considered as the ideal lens for general purpose use that exists today and are likely to become the new everyday standard.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:78%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;About The Author&lt;br /&gt;Dr Bianca Tavares&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Tavares is a medical consultant with wide-ranging experience and interests in both traditional and complementary medicine and health care.

Some will go to great lengths to achieve a look that they consider acceptable. If you wear contacts and you&#39;re interested in changing your appearance but you want to use a subtle approach, you may want to consider color contact lenses. You can choose from a variety of natural s including blue, hazel, and green. There are numerous types of these lenses available that vary in the amount of tint used to create the lenses. If you have trouble seeing your contacts during insertion, for example, you don&#39;t want to actually change the of your eyes; you just want to be able to see your contacts better. Contacts with a light tint would work better for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Color contact lenses aren&#39;t just for people who require corrective lenses. There are just as many types of non-prescription contacts that can alter and/or enhance your eyes available. Of course you should obtain assistance from an eyewear professional so that the contacts fit securely on your eyes, and also to obtain important information regarding the use and care of the lenses. Color contact lenses are becoming more common for athletes interested in improving their skill. Race car drivers, for example, can benefit from color contact lenses with an amber tint because this can filter out shadows that can interfere with the driver&#39;s vision.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you ever noticed someone&#39;s eyes that you were certain were not their own? One of the issues associated with wearing color contact lenses is buying a set that complements your eye and skin . If your skin and eyes are naturally light, you have the good fortune of being able to wear just about any type of ed lenses. People with dark eyes and/or skin are best suited with opaque lenses. Instead of covering the eye with a solid , opaque color contact lenses actually complement the natural of the eye using a pattern of several s. If your eyes are somewhere in the middle or you want to try a in contrast to your eye , you should contact an eye specialist to discuss your options.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:78%;&quot;&gt;About The Author&lt;br /&gt;Brad Triggs provides more information on Color Contact at his website &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mydiscountlenses.com/&quot; target=&quot;new&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:78%;&quot;&gt;MyDiscountLenses.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:78%;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://contactlenses4u.blogspot.com/feeds/114732421619757116/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/27510287/114732421619757116' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27510287/posts/default/114732421619757116'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27510287/posts/default/114732421619757116'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://contactlenses4u.blogspot.com/2006/05/color-contact-lenses-your-options.html' title='Color Contact Lenses - Your Options'/><author><name>Veronica</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05618158943391015439</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iE7CDnt4fj0/Sg7U6UeEkhI/AAAAAAAAAEk/T7XrEjb1W_k/S220/%E3%82%B3%E3%83%94%E3%83%BC+%EF%BD%9E+DSC01125.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27510287.post-114740261669005376</id><published>2006-05-20T12:05:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2009-11-15T02:53:06.081+07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Articles of Contact Lenses"/><title type='text'>Bifocal Contact Lens Basics</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;Bifocal Contact Lens Basics&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;by: Jay Moncliff &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;As we age, many of us notice that we can&#39;t read as well as we used to. We hold things out further and further, literally at arm&#39;s length, until friends and relatives inevitable begin joking about our arm&#39;s getting shorter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;For many of us, presbyopia is a fact of life. Simply defined, presbyopia is the inability to focus on items in close range. This condition is caused by the lens in the eye becoming less and less flexible as we age. Unfortunately, most of us will need corrective lenses and even bifocals at some point as this condition worsens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;Until recently, bifocal wearers had few options when choosing corrective eyeware. Glasses with bifocal lenses were the most common option. Luckily, no-line bifocal lenses were developed, and the glasses became somewhat more attractive. Some struggled with the &quot;one contact lens&quot; option, called monovision, but this seemed to result in a lot of squinting for the users and usually required a difficult adjustment period.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;Recently, bifocal contact lenses have been developed for almost every kind of contact lens on the market. This advancement is great for the aging population already wearing single vision contacts but needing to &quot;step up&quot; to the bifocal lens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;Bifocal contact lenses work just like bifocal glass lenses do; two powers of glass in each lens provide different focus adjustments, one for far away (distance) and another for close up. Both adjustments are contained in each contact lens. Different manufacturers make different types of bifocal lenses, and it may take some experimentation to discover which type is right for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;Some bifocal contact lenses are made with a concentric design. Like concentric circles, one adjustment is in the middle of the lens, and the other adjustment is around the outside of the lens. The two are distinct, with a sharp delineation between the two. Although they sound difficult to use, most find that they eye will adjust and use the proper ring with a little practice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;Aspheric lenses have a more gradual change between focuses. Both of the powers are in the area of the pupil, and as with the concentric lens, the eye will adjust and learn to choose the proper focus to use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;The third type of bifocal lens is the translating lens. Like bifocal glasses, the near correction is near the bottom of the lens and the distance correction is above. Since these lenses can&#39;t shift in the eye, they are usually made so that they can&#39;t move easily.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;Ask your optometrist which type of lens he&#39;d recommend for you. Since each will take require an adjustment period, be patient. You may want to research brands and types of lenses before going to your optometrist to decide if you want extended wear, daily disposable lenses or conventional contact lenses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;Whatever type you choose, the new bifocal contact lenses on the market can ensure that aging baby boomers can continue to read without sacrificing style or dignity. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;&quot;&gt;About The Author&lt;br /&gt;Jay Moncliff is the founder of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.contactlenscenter.info/&quot; target=&quot;new&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;&quot;&gt;http://www.contactlenscenter.info&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;&quot;&gt; a website specialized on Contact Lens, resources and articles.

There was the monocle, then the glasses that were on a chain or a stick, and then there were eyeglasses as we know them today but there were not as many styles as there are now. As technology improved the lenses of glasses were getting smaller. Since many people were always losing or breaking their eyeglasses they were hoping for a way to wear glasses and not have to worry about them being lost or breaking them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;Contact lenses came along and they were great but expensive. If you lost them or dropped them you would have to get new ones. I knew of someone who lost one of her contact lens and she had developed an infection in her eye. The doctor examined her only to find the contact lens had slipped and was not in the proper place. Traditional contact lenses were rigid and took some getting used to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People were looking for softer and more flexible lenses and lenses they could easily put in. Softer lenses came out and then because they had to be removed every night and cleaned, people started to long for lenses they could wear all the time. As the prices came down and more people were able to purchase contacts, they were getting sick and tired of cleaning them all the time and of the expense of all the cleaning solutions needed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It would be great, they thought, to be able to throw out the lenses each night and eliminate the need for the cleaning solution. 1987 saw the introduction of disposable contact lenses and they were design-ed to be worn for a specific amount of time before having to be re-placed. There are some terms and explanations that you need to be familiar to understand disposable contact lenses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;Disposable Contact Lenses - they are discarded and replaced after two weeks if not sooner. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;Frequent replacement lenses - they are replaced every one to three months. Traditional/Reusable - these are replaced every six months if not before.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;Extended wear lenses - you can sleep in them for up to two weeks. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;Daily disposable lenses are removed and discarded every night eliminating the need for cleaning solutions. You and your doctor should determine the replacement schedule. The wearing schedule defines how often you remove, replace, or discard your lenses. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;Day and night Contact Lenses - You wear these lenses day and night for up to 30 days. You then remove them and dispose of them. It is my personal opinion that if you can tolerate them the Day and Night Contact lenses would be the best idea. Imagine what you can do with all the time you save because you aren&#39;t busy cleaning your lenses every night. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;The more lenses are replaced the healthier your eyes will be. Over time there can be a build up of calcium, lipids, and proteins on them and make your eyes very uncomfortable and make you prone to infections. Some people wear disposable lenses for theatrical purposes and use color changer lenses. There are all kinds of contact lenses including those with logos and animal eyes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are some of the benefits of using disposable contact lenses?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;There is lower risk of infections, lenses are sterile &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;There is not enough time for calcium and protein to build up on them. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;They result in clearer vision. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;They are not for use with cleaning solutions. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;There is no worry about having cleaning solutions or storing them. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;Daily disposables are ideal for people who suffer from allergies, especially during the high allergy season. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;They are great for people who wear contacts only a few days a week. They are also cheaper if you wear them only a few days a week. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;If you rip your lenses or lose them, you simply discard them and open a new package. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;The benefits of disposable contact lenses are greater than eyeglasses. Some people keep a pair of glasses just in case something has to happen to their lenses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The decision to use contact lenses including disposable contact lenses should be discussed with your eye care physician. A careful examination should be conducted as well. Do your research some manufacturers of contact lenses will offer you a free trial for at least a week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can get disposable contact lenses from eye care places or you can get them online. Either way you will need to have a prescription. Be aware that not everyone can wear contact lenses and only you and your doctor can decide that. You need to decide if you can afford them. Talk to the manufacturers and see if they have any special offers and/or trial periods. Do your research; see what kinds of lens are available for your prescription. Do what is best for you.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;&quot;&gt;About The Author&lt;br /&gt;Martin Smith is a successful freelance writer providing advice for consumers on purchasing a variety of products which includes Bifocal Contact Lenses and Contact Lenses, and more!
