Not all astigmatisms are created equal. If you face the challenge of finding toric contact lenses to fill a prescription that is outside of the ordinary, you may have been frustrated to find that most contact lens brands cannot help you. But don’t despair before checking out Hydrasoft Toric Options from CooperVision. Their purpose is to help people like you get back to sharp 20/20 vision.
Hydrasoft Toric Options astigmatism contacts are different from other eye contacts brands in that they are individually crafted and custom-made. They come in a huge variety of powers and correction abilities. In fact, CooperVision says it can fill over 13 million prescription combinations with this brand. Surely one of those prescriptions will fit you just fine.
Some people find the wide variety of Hydrasoft lenses to be a bit bewildering, so here is a quick summary of the options. The lenses are divided into a series of categories or “divisions.” Division I Standard lenses are the lowest tier and are for people who need something just slightly out of the ordinary, or who for other reasons want this brand of lenses despite not needing an extreme solution. Division II Specialty lenses are a step higher in terms of strength and custom orders. Division III Custom lenses deliver a large amount of customization that falls outside of the range of what you might find elsewhere. Division IV Custom is the highest level of customization, intended for the most unusual prescriptions out there. Your eye doctor will advise you on the right Hydrasoft Toric Options category for you.
Custom-made lenses are not inexpensive, but are well worth the price if you want to wear contact lenses and cannot find your prescription to be possible with other brands. Thankfully, there is no need to dispose of these lenses frequently, since they are intended for quarterly replacement. Four times a year is a very convenient schedule with a minimum of fuss.
A custom-made lens is a great step in the right direction for individuals with specific prescription needs, but ease of wear is also an important consideration. CooperVision makes these lenses out of methafilcon B, a water-attracting substance that absorbs lots of water while being cleaned and therefore contributes to a silky soft feel in your eyes for as long as you are using the lenses.
These lenses are available for either daily wear and removal, or for extended wear of up to seven days. Extended wear should only be considered after discussing the issue with your doctor. While some people can tolerate extended wear, not everyone can and your unique medical issues may prevent you from using the lenses in that fashion. Even if you can, these lenses are not like extended wear lenses from other brands that can be thrown away after the end of the continuous wear period. Hydrasoft Toric Options lenses used for extended wear must be removed and carefully cleaned before being used again so that they can last the entire time between replacements without ill effects for your eyes.
When only custom-made lenses will do for filling your special needs prescription, you should definitely consider Hydrasoft Toric Options astigmatism contacts. On top of being able to fulfill just about any prescription need, they also offer a flexible wearing schedule, convenient quarterly replacement, a silky smooth feel in your eyes, and daily or extended wear options. It’s the best of all worlds. While not the cheapest option available, if you need this combination of features you will be glad you tried this brand.
