Contact Lenses – What To Know Before You Buy

by on Jun.25, 2010, under Vision and Eyecare

All correcting contact lenses must have a valid prescription from an ophthalmologist or optometrist. Contact lens wearers are usually surprised and happy with the level of comfort that lenses provide. There are 75 million contact lens wearers worldwide and 31 million in the U.S. alone.
Now it’s easy to order the perfect contact lenses online at a great discount. If you’ve always wanted to change your eye color, color contact lenses can provide baby blues, gorgeous greens, heavenly hazels — even various patterns and designs.
Extended wear lenses are usually soft contact lenses; made of flexible plastics that allow oxygen to pass through to the cornea. The length of continuous lens wear depends on the lens type and your doctor’s evaluation of your tolerance for overnight wear. Some doctors prescribe disposables as planned-replacement lenses, which are removed, disinfected, and reused before being discarded.
Newer soft lens materials include silicone-hydrogels to provide more oxygen to your eyes. People who have good distance vision but need help for reading can get a monovision reading lens for one eye. You can mark rigid lenses to show which lens is for which eye; they don’t rip or tear, so they’re easy to handle.
Rigid gas permeable lenses tend to be less expensive over the life of the lens since they last longer than soft lenses. While the ability to hold water increases the oxygen permeability of soft lenses, it increases their fragility quotient as well. There are several types of lenses including: soft contact lenses, rigid gas permeable lenses, extended wear lenses and disposables.
The expiration date for your prescription is currently set by your state requiring a one-year or two-year renewal; if your state hasn’t set a minimum expiration date, government regulation sets a one-year date unless your eye doctor determines there’s a medical reason for less than one year. There are also a few rigid gas permeable lenses that are designed and approved for overnight wear.
Make sure you have a current, valid prescription when you order contact lenses. Compare prices – get quotes from two or three online and offline suppliers. Get a feel for how the retailer handles customer service calls, in case you have a problem after your order arrives.
Wherever you buy, shop for quality and value and don’t forget you want to do what’s best for your eye health. Buy your contact lenses from a supplier you’re familiar with and know is reliable or has name familiarity. Always ask what rebates are available.
Always buy from a reputable company; you can buy contact lenses without a prescription, but the company is selling you a prescription device as if it were an over-the-counter device violating FTC regulations by selling you contact lenses without having your prescription. Focus on value, not just the price; most people looking for the best price are really looking for the best value. When you place your order make sure your lenses are available and not out of stock, because you’ll need them now.
When the eyes are open, tears carry adequate oxygen to the cornea to keep it healthy, but during sleep, the eye produces fewer tears, causing the cornea to swell. Soft extended-wear lenses bind down on the closed eye, but they are porous and allow some tears through during sleep; because they have so little form, their binding has very little effect on the shape of the eye. Don’t wear lenses any longer than they’re prescribed for, nor when sleeping unless you are otherwise directed.
The risk of corneal ulcers for people who keep extended-wear lenses in overnight is 10 to 15 times greater than for those who use daily-wear lenses only while they are awake. If your eyes become red or irritated, remove the lenses immediately and consult with your doctor. Heat disinfection is the only method effective against the microorganism Acanthamoeba keratitis, a common culprit for contact lens wearers, and it also kills organisms in and on the lens case.
Laser surgery and its risks can be frightening and too expensive for some people; contacts can provide a safe, comfortable and time-tested alternative. It’s becoming easier and easier all the time to shop online and often the shipping is free. Remember to use only contact lenses that are FDA-approved and only if prescribed by a licensed eyecare professional.

Tips You Must Know for Selecting Glasses

by on Jun.03, 2010, under Vision and Eyecare

Many girls still firmly believe in the old expression” Boys don’t make passes at girls who wear glasses.” But the truth is eyeglasses can be part of your fashion outfits and definitely increase your charm. Although most people know they need eyeglasses to correct their vision, they haven’t realized that getting an eyeglass prescription is just the beginning. From fabulous eyeglasses frame shapes and colors to advanced lens technologies, today’s eyeglass wearers have endless options.

Faced with the great variety of eyeglasses, are you totally sure with how to select perfect glasses for yourself? To help make your next purchase as easy as possible, here five glasses selecting tips that every spec sporter should consider before heading to an eye doctor are recommended by eyecare professionals and leading glasses manufacturer. Annual check-ups are also important as recommended by the Vision Council of America and its “Check Yearly. See Clearly” Campaign

Tip 1: “No Glare” lenses for your all-day work.

Do you find yourself sitting in front of a computer at work all day? Or do you drive at night with the glare of headlights straining your eyes? Or do you just want to look better in your new glasses? If so, you might want to look into anti-reflective lenses, which help reduce the glare and reflections that often cause eye fatigue. These same, “No Glare” lenses help reduce the reflections other people see on the outside of your glasses, which allows others to see you “eye to eye.”

Tip 2: Say bye-bye to dirty or smudged Lenses.

Dirty eyeglasses are an eye-sore! More than 64 percent of eyeglass wearers in a recently conducted survey have noticed or commented on other peoples’ dirty lenses. And, while lenses can get dirty from everyday occurrences such as the environment, cosmetics, and adjusting your glasses, you can avoid constant cleanings.

Tip 3: Let’s sport with glasses on!

Perhaps you play golf, basketball or even football. Whatever your sport of choice, you need eyeglasses that fit your active lifestyle. First off, consider a polycarbonate lens. These lightweight lenses can provide you with more impact resistance – meaning they’re more durable and sturdy, less likely to break. Polycarbonate lenses also are scratch resistant and can offer UV protection from the sun. Besides the lens, you’ll also want to invest in a flexible frame. Many metal frames often provide the most flexibility, as these types can bend without breaking. And did you know that certain tints are an advantage in certain sports? A light-brown tinted lens can help you better spot the ball, the green or the trail when playing golf.

Tip 4: Glasses can add charm to your face.

For a long time, people consider girls who wear glasses as geeks. That’s unfair. You must realize glasses can surely spice up your looks, so you should pay a little more attention when picking up one. Glasses play a big part of how you look and feel – so you’ll want to find frames that are a perfect match for your face shape, size and coloring. Here is the tip: the frame shape should contrast with your face shape (i.e. if you have a curved face, you should choose angular frames). The ideal frame size should be to scale with your face size and your eyes should be centered in the frame. Light colors like pink and lemon can give you a fainting dull look if you are not that fair, Blue and emerald will be a nice choice for various face colors.

Tip 5: Over 40?

If you are over 40, check out these questions. Do you having trouble reading the menu in candle-lit restaurants? Are you finding it more difficult to read telephone numbers or price tags? You are probably becoming “presbyopic” – a natural part of aging caused by the lens inside your eye becoming less flexible and less able to focus up close. Did you know that you can have one pair of eyeglass lenses that can provide good correction for all of your visual needs – distance, intermediate and up close? And they can do it without the telltale signs of the unsightly bi-focal lines that your grandparents wore. These lenses are called “progressive lenses” and they allow a smooth transition from all fields of vision.

LASIK Eye Surgery What You Need to Know

by on May.15, 2010, under Vision and Eyecare

If you wear glasses or contact lenses, chances are you have thought or even looked into LASIK eye surgery. This surgery has taken the optical world by storm, it promises to let you leave your glasses or contacts in the past, or at least to lessen your dependence upon them. As the procedure becomes more popular, it is easier to find a doctor or an office that will perform the surgery for you.

Before you decide that LASIK surgery is right for you, make sure that you know all the facts, and how they might affect you. LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) is a surgery that changes the cornea shape, this is a permanent change that is made using a laser and a special knife. This is what allows you to become fewer dependants upon your glasses or contact lenses as most wearers suffer from a misshaped cornea.

Before the surgery, you will need to consult with an optometrist that specializes in LASIK surgery. The doctor will conduct a number of tests to determine if you are a good candidate for the surgery. If it is determined that you are a good candidate, the doctor should be able to tell you how much of a change in your eyesight can be expected after the surgery.

Several things are taken into consideration when a doctor evaluates you for the surgery. For example, if you have had a change in your eyewear prescription within the last year, LASIK is not for you. The eyes need to be stable for at least a year, preferably longer to ensure that they aren’t going to change shape on their own. If you have a history of certain diseases, LASIK may not be the right choice for you either. Having a history of Glaucoma, Herpes, eye injuries or thin corneas, are a few of the reasons that would disqualify you for the surgery.

Now you have been checked out by a doctor and are ready to proceed on your road to a future without glasses. It is important that you know what to expect during the surgery as well.

When you go in for the actual surgery, you will be placed in a reclined position. You will receive a numbing solution in the eye that is being operated on. The doctor will use a special speculum to hold the eyelid open and a large machine with a microscope will be aimed at the eye. A ring will be applied to your eye with hard pressure, this is to create a suction affect on the cornea, the doctor will the use a knife to cut the part of the cornea that needs to be reshaped. Your vision will be blurred during this part of the procedure.

After the cornea has been cut the ring is removed, at this point, you will be able to see, although this will come and go during the rest of the LASIK surgery. This is the part of the operation where the laser is introduced, two actually. The first laser is for your eye to focus on; the second is the working laser.

The machine with the microscope is also attached to a computer. This computer is what controls the amount of strength that is available in the laser. Before the procedure, the surgeon will have programmed how much tissue needs to be removed from the cornea, based on the tests in the first visit. The computer then, stops the laser when the exact amount of tissue has been removed.

Your surgery is essentially done! There are a few rules for after the procedure that your doctor will go over with you, but most people are back to daily life within a couple of days.
