Contact Lenses & Dry Eyes
Contacts are a great alternative solution from wearing glasses. You no longer have to worry about walking out on a rainy day and having to clean your glasses every ten seconds. You don’t have to worry about walking in your house from the cold, only to be met by a quick fog that will cover your glass lens. Although it is a great alternative, those with dry eyes may not have that type of luxury in wearing ordinary contact lenses due to the condition. Luckily enough, companies have developed contacts for dry eyes, making sure you feel all the comfort you possibly can.

One of the many recommended products is the Acuvue 1 Day moist contact lens. These lenses manage to attract tear proteins, giving you as much comfort as you can ask for. Not only that, but the material that these lenses are made from give create a smooth glide so your contact lenses can move freely. They also provide some great UV blocking as well as visibility tint, reducing the light sensitivity most common with people who have dry eyes. By working to reduce or eliminate problems found with dry eyes, Acuvue 1 Day Moist contacts for dry eyes are one the many sought out products for the occasional contact wearer.
For those who would wish to get more use out of one pair of lenses, then the Acuvue Oasys with Hydraclear make a great product for those who wish to wear contacts for dry eyes for a longer period of time. Advertised to allow the wearer to use the contacts for up to one weeks time, these lenses also give you the same aid for dry eyes as the 1 Day Moist product. You are also able to use in front of a computer, whether at work or at home, without having to re-wet the lenses due to its all-day moisture solution.
Only a couple products from the various that are out on the market, the two mentioned above are highly regarded as to some of the best products for those looking to wear contact lenses for dry eyes. Similar in price, but difference in quantity and length of use, you can manage said products right where you can utilize them for a month, or perhaps even more. The end result will be the same, the ability to wear contacts with full comfort.

Before one can correct astigmatism, one must understand what it is. Astigmatism is usually caused by either an irregularly shaped cornea (cornial astigmatism), or by an irregularly shaped lens, called lenticular astigmatism, and is located behind the eye. Most don’t even realize that they have astigmatism because the symptoms are fairly small, such as slightly blurred vision, occasional headaches and eye strain. It may even distort and blur your vision at all distances and is found in both children and adults. Astigmatism is caused by the cornea being an unusual shape, more like a oblong than a perfect sphere, and a person is either born with it, or it may have been caused by an accident.
Astigmatism can be corrected relatively easy with contact lenses or eye glasses, unless it is extreme. Toric contacts were especially designed for people with astigmatism. This type of lens has two functions. The first is to correct the spherical refractive error, and the second is to reconfigure light rays that are unevenly refracted due to the astigmatism. These lenses exist in rigid, gas-permeable as well as soft lenses. When these lenses were first out on the market, they were not as reliable or as comfortable as they are today.

They are now made to be both comfortable and effective and there are some that can be worn comfortably up to 30 days. Some contacts for astigmatism are tinted, giving your eye a whole new look. There are also daily disposable and progressive lenses that are now available as well. These contact lenses are designed to give you more power in one direction and less power in the other direction, therefore correcting the astigmatism and allowing you to have and enjoy a better quality vision.
Toric contacts are designed to stay in one position on your eye because moving will cause the vision of the wearer to become distorted. If your eye doctor has told you that you have astigmatism, then it is important that you get the right contact lens to help you have better vision. Your doctor will be able to help you find the right prescription that will help you achieve this. Astigmatism should not go untreated but should be taken care of early on. With Toric contacts, you will be able to achieve a clear and better vision.
