TYPES OF CONTACT LENSES

Types of contacts are not all the same. They are available in different forms, designed to meet different purposes. These forms can range from their “modality,” or how often you change the contacts—say, daily, every two weeks, or monthly. They also fit different needs, such as contacts for astigmatism, contacts for nearsightedness, and more. Contact lenses come in different strengths or “diopters.” If you wear contacts, take a look at their box or your prescription. You’ll see either plus or minus signs, followed by numbers. Without getting too in-depth, these convey the shape of the lenses. Different shapes correct different vision problems. Toric lenses, which are more weighted at the bottom, help correct astigmatism. Spherical lenses, which are the same all around, help correct nearsightedness and farsightedness. There are also lenses for monovision, bifocals, and multifocals.

Soft Contact Lenses

Soft contact lenses are made of soft, flexible plastics that allow oxygen to pass through to the cornea.

Extended Wear

Extended wear contact lenses are available for overnight or continuous wear ranging from one to six nights or up to 30 days.

Decorative (Plano)

Decorative contact lenses change the look of your eyes.

CONTACT LENSES HISTORY

Contact lenses and their concept have been around for much longer than most people believe. Along with many other modern day conveniences, Leonardo da Vinci envisioned the concept of contact lenses in 1508. In 1636, Renee Descartes took this further by sketching a protruding contact lens. Later, in 1801, a scientist named Thomas Young became the first to wear a contact lens, which was secured to his eye with wax! We have come a long way in contact lens comfort.

SOFT CONTACT LENSES

In 1971, the soft contact lens was officially introduced, ushering in a new era apart from the hard contact lenses of the past.

DAILY CONTACT LENSES

The next major breakthrough in contact lens technology came in 1988 when the first disposable lenses were launched. It would then take eight years to introduce daily disposable contact lenses, or “dailies,” in 1996.

SILICONE HYDROGEL CONTACT LENSES

Now we have silicone hydrogel lenses, which offer greater comfort, and can be worn for longer periods of time in comparison to their predecessors.

WHAT DO CONTACT LENSES DO?

Contact lenses are small prescription lenses, worn in “contact” with the eye. They are designed to correct refractive errors and maintain ocular health. They float on the tear film layer on the surface of the cornea.
Modern contacts are much more than small eye glass lenses that fit onto your eyes. They do, however, function much like regular eye glasses—refracting and focusing light so that objects appear clearly. Since the lenses stick to the tear fluid on your eye surface, they move naturally with you. This is but one advantage contacts have over glasses.
