Why is Silicone Hydrogel the best option?

The eye has certain requirements to maintain its health, comfort and clear vision.
Many contact lens wearers find they can only wear their contact lenses for a small number of hours per day.

This may be due to one or many of the following:

• Having naturally dry eyes
• Working in a dry environment
• Prolonged computer use
• Reduced oxygen access to the cornea causing swelling and red eyes
• Lens materials being stiff and causing discomfort over time
• Reduced visual acuity due to lens surface deposits or degradation

Silicone Hydrogel is the first choice of contact lens material in these situations to help reduce or eradicate these effects. Silicone Hydrogel is also better for the health of the eye and is being used by more and more practitioners as a first choice of contact lens material.
