New contact lens technology to improve your vision and comfort

Do you wear contact lenses? Then you’ll find this article very interesting! Contact lenses and related products have come a long way over the years. Here are a few examples of new technology now available on the market.

Lenses to manage myopia progression

Johnson & Johnson’s ACUVUE Abiliti 1-day soft therapeutic lenses are designed to help slow the progression of myopia in children. They’re easy to handle, comfortable, and allow kids to benefit from an active lifestyle.

Toric contact lenses for astigmatism

Toric contact lenses differ from standard contact lenses in that they are shaped differently to correct astigmatism. Alcon’s Total 1 and Total 30 lenses are made with silicone hydrogel, providing maximum comfort and a sharp vision all day long.

• Total 1 lenses are made from a material that reduces the sensation of dry eye. They also feature a layer of moisture on the surface of the lens for optimal comfort.
• Total 30 lenses are made from a similar material but also feature a Precision Profile Design with a centre-near design, ensuring crisp vision and unmatched all-day comfort.

Daily contact lenses

Disposable contact lenses are a popular option because they’re practical, hygienic and require no daily maintenance.

CooperVision’s line of MyDay lenses are available in spheric, toric, and multifocal versions. MyDay toric lenses are designed to correct astigmatism while multifocal lenses correct the vision of people with presbyopia.

MyDay lenses are comfortable, feel natural, and provide optimal vision all day long.

Artificial tears

Artificial tears are used to treat the symptoms of dry eye while lubricating the surface of the eye.

I-Drop by I-Med and Thealoz Duo by Théa are artificial tears designed to provide long-lasting hydration to soothe dry eye. They’re available in various formulas including options for moderate to severe cases of dry eye as well as sensitive or tired eyes. They’re also made with ingredients that help reduce inflammation and keep the surface of the eye healthy.

Eyelid hygiene

I-LID 'N LASH by I-Med and Blephaclean by Théa are wipes that are designed to clean your eyelids and lashes. They’re easy to use and easily fit in a bag so you can bring them along on your travels.

Both I-LID 'N LASH and Blephaclean wipes are useful for contact lens wearers because they can help eliminate the impurities and oils that accumulate on your face which may in turn end up on your lenses and cause eye irritation.

Thanks to new technology, contact lens wearers can benefit from options that are more comfortable, practical, and efficient.
