Tips To Increase Contact Lens Comfort
 

From: (NAPSI)- The eyes have it: redness, discomfort, itchiness, blurry vision-and contact lenses may be the cause.

Eye experts offer the following tips to make wearing contacts more comfortable for the over 30 million Americans who wear them:

See your eye doctor and have your prescription checked every year. As we age, our eyes go through physical changes that can affect how well we see. Blurry vision may be the result of contacts that are too strong or too weak.

If proper cleaning and lens care are annoying hassles for you, consider daily disposable contact lenses. Wearing a pair of fresh, sterile lenses every day helps maintain ocular hygiene. There is little chance for protein build-up or dirt on the lens that can lead to irritation or infection.

Reduce seasonal allergy symptoms by wearing a daily disposable lens when pollen counts are high.

For increased comfort, try the new Focus® Dailies®, a contact lens designed to cure "edge sensation" -that annoying feeling of the eyelid rubbing against the edges of the contact lens, especially after a long day. (This is the lens that Dr. Quiring wears) Made with Lightstream Technology, Focus Dailies are said to have the thinnest edges of any contact lens in the world.

"My patients who have tried Focus Dailies say their vision is great and they can't feel the lenses in their eyes -even after a long busy day," says Atlanta optometrist Dr. Judson Briggs.

Daily disposable lenses offer the ultimate in convenience for athletes and people on the go. Since no cleaning is required, wearers can forget about purchasing lens care products and packing bulky solutions when they travel.

At a cost of only about a dollar a day per pair, the popularity of these disposable lenses is eye-catching.
