Optimedics 38 lenses are designed to be comfortable and healthy

The Optimedics 38 contact lenses are designed for daily use and are disposable at the end of the wearing period, which is usually one or two weeks. The lenses are made of 62 percent polymacon and 38 percent water. The composition makes the lenses comfortable and easy to wear. The spherical lenses are used to correct for conditions of refractive amertropia or myopia and hyperopia. They can be worn by people with 1.00D or less of astigmatism.

Since the Optimedics 38 lenses are worn for more than one day, the user must follow the recommended directions for cleaning and disinfecting. This protects the eyes from infection and prevents the accumulation of protein deposits on the lens surfaces. If protein deposits form, the lenses feel scratchy and irritating on the eye. Regular use of a good cleaning solution can take care of the disinfecting and cleaning for the user, and there is a wide selection available on the market for the user to select from. Many users prefer to minimize handling of the lenses by using a no rub solution. The user should follow the recommendations provided by the eye care provider to minimize the risk of infection and other problems.

These contact lenses are packaged in buffered saline solution and are usually six lenses to a package. They have a blue tint for the purpose of handling by the user. The purpose of the tint is not to change the color on the user's eye but to allow the user to find the lenses easier when they are in solution.

The Optimedics 38 contact lenses are manufactured by Ocular Science of South San Francisco, California. The lenses are sold under a variety of different brand names which the user should be aware of. All of the lenses are identical, no matter what the brand name is and they are available at a large selection of both land-based and online optical outlets. The smart shopper will be aware of the different price and quantity options available and will comparison shop for the best deal.
