Night And Day Toric Contact Lenses - A Dream Too Far?

The invention of continuous wear contact lenses has further broken down the barriers posed by the first Contact Lenses solutions and is just yet one more step to eliminating the handful of drawbacks inherent in these tiny, popular ophthalmic devices. The creation of lenses that can be worn for thirty days and nights would at first seem almost too good to be true, and for astigmatic sufferers, it is. Unfortunately, night and day toric contact lenses are not as yet available. So, while those not suffering from astigmatism have a wealth of contact lens options presented them, people who require toric lenses have considerably less. Night and day contacts are, should you be interested (we're not trying to tease, honest), available for general prescriptions though.

Thirty days of continuous wear may seem like the ultimate in convenience, and for active people it most certainly is, but those of us requiring torics need not despair, because a number of soft contact lens products exist that offer far greater convenience than traditional GP toric lenses. Something that, in itself, we should be thankful for. CIBA Vision's Focus Dailies and Focus Toric offer daily and monthly replacement schedules, as is the case with Coopervision's Proclear Toric line of lenses.

It may not be thirty days of continuous wear, but if you simply must be able to sleep with contact lenses in (hey, maybe you sleep with your eyes open!), then Acuvue Toric offers a two-week daily wear schedule or up to six nights of continuous wear. Okay, so it's not quite an entire month of hassle-free lens wear, but it's something right? Perhaps in the not too distant future night and day torics will become a reality, so don't go getting perfect vision all of sudden!

And should you desire any of these toric products (night and day toric lenses excluded), or simply want to browse the latest offerings in the world of Contact Lenses , you certainly don't need to search for thirty days and thirty nights. Nope. Simply by looking to your right, you'll find a collection of useful links to a range of eye wear and eye care products.
