If you are having trouble with your current toric contact lenses for astigmatism, consider Biomedics Toric lenses from CooperVision. According to the manufacturer, they offer such a high level of visual acuity and superior wearing comfort that they were preferred by eight out of ten patients over their current lenses in a recent study.
These lenses feature a bi-weekly replacement schedule if the lenses are used and removed daily for cleaning. They also offer the flexible option of up to seven days of continuous overnight wear between replacement, subject to your doctor’s approval.
Astigmatism is a situation where your eye is not shaped normally like a sphere, but instead assumes a more oval shape similar to a football. That’s bad news for vision because it causes light rays to scatter and become distorted rather than focus properly on the retina, and blurry vision is the unfortunate result. Lenses like Biomedics Toric reverse the problem by sitting on top of the cornea and behaving like a prism that re-directs light rays back to the retina where they belong, restoring you to the crystal clear vision you want.
Sharp vision is great, but is not enough to produce a truly good pair of lenses. Biomedics Toric lenses are constructed of a material called Ocufilcon D, a polymer that absorbs water into itself and making the lens silky smooth and pliable with a 55% water content. Furthermore, CooperVision uses a patented process that produces thinner edges on the lenses. The combination of smooth edges and high water content mean that the lenses will feel great for as long as you decide to wear them.
Biomedics Toric lenses also offer something most other lens brands don’t: a good amount of ultraviolet protection. UV rays can harm your vision over a long time if exposed to higher levels, so every bit of protection you can have is a good thing. Don’t rely solely on the lenses, though. They cannot cover as much surface area on and near your eyes in the way a good pair of UV-blocking sunglasses would, so be sure to use the two together for the best protection possible.
Please visit with your eye doctor to work out the best wearing and replacement schedule for you. This is especially the case if you are thinking about extended wear, because not everyone’s eyes can tolerate that. Different people have different medical needs, so it’s essential that your physician agrees on what is best for your astigmatism.
Biomedics Toric contact lenses offer excellent flexibility and convenience with their patented manufacturing process, high moisture content, and flexible replacement and wearing schedule. It’s no wonder, then, that these lenses were preferred by eight out of ten patients in that clinical study. Try them for yourself and see what a difference these lenses can make.
