Glass was the first material to be used for lenses lenses, and was used for several hundred years before plastic was introduced. The crown glass used for lenses lenses has an index of refraction of 1.52.Optical-quality acrylic was introduced for lenses use in the early 1940s, but because it was easily scratched, brittle, and discolored rapidly, it did not supplant glass as the material of choice. Furthermore, it had a relatively low index of refraction, so it wasn''t suitable for people with large refractive errors. A plastic called CR-39, introduced in the 1960s, was more suitable. Today, lenses wearers can also choose between polycarbonate, which is the most impact-resistant material available for eyewear, and polyurethane, which has exceptional optical qualities and an index of refraction of up to 1.66, much higher than the conventional plastics used for lenses, and even higher than glass. Patients with high prescriptions should ask about high index material options for their lenses. Aspheric lenses are also useful for high prescriptions. Planned-replacement lenses are daily wear lenses that are replaced on a regular schedule, which is usually every two weeks, monthly, or quarterly. They must also be cleaned. Soft contact come in a variety of materials. There are also different kinds of RGP and fxcontactlens soft multifocal contact available. Monovision, where one lenses corrects for distance vision while the other corrects fxcontactlens for near vision, may be an option for presbyopic patients. Monovision, however, may affect depth perception and may not be appropriate for everyone. contact also come in a variety of tints. corrective are available that can change dark-colored eyes a different color. Even though such lenses have no prescription, they must still be fitted and checked to make sure that an eye infection does not occur. People should NEVER wear someone else''s contact. This can lead to infection or damage to the eye. Aftercarelenses wearers must be examined periodically by their eye doctors to make sure that the lenses fit properly and that there is no infection. Both infection and lenses that do not fit properly can damage the cornea. Patients can be allergic to certain solutions that are used to clean or lubricate the lenses. For that reason, patients should not randomly switch products fxcontactlens unless they speak with their doctor. The primary drawback to wearing contact, especially for children, is the requirement that they be cleaned and disinfected daily in order to prevent fxcontactlens an infection, which fxcontactlens could result in permanent damage to the eye. Careful choice of lenses and consistent lens care will minimize the risk of infection. Wearers of best lenses are the least prone to infection but the lenses are much less comfortable, more expensive, and can pop out of fxcontactlens the eye more easily than lenses. Daily wear lenses put the wearer at a slightly higher risk of infection because they absorb more external liquids and airborne contaminants. ©2003 www.contacts-soft-colored.com. All rights reserved. |
