Purevision Toric Contact Lenses - Healthier EyesPurevision Toric contact lenses are designed to provide comfortable wear and enhanced vision for wearers. The innovative technology incorporated in the lenses results in:
- increased hydration and deposit resistant lenses
- greater transfer of oxygen for whiter healthier eyes
- less chance of hypoxic stress
The comfort of the lenses is due to their being made from a silicone hydrogel material. They are made of 64 percent balafilcon A and 36 percent water which is one of the reasons for their hydrating ability and the extreme comfort they provide. The manufacturer calls the material Aer-Gel and one of its qualities, in addition to retaining moisture, is to repel debris and to allow for the transfer of oxygen to the eyes. This prevents the eyes from looking red and irritated.
The lenses are packaged in buffered saline solution and most come six lenses to a package. The lenses are designed for thirty days of continual wear, including sleeping, but the user can remove them at night, if desired.
The toric design of the lenses means they can be worn by people with astigmatism and some claim that it is the top lens for people with astigmatism. The toric design of the lens helps to correct for the distortion that result from astigmatism. The base curves available make the lens suitable for 95 percent of the people.
The wearer of Purevision Toric contact lenses should follow the instructions of the eye care provider regarding maintenance and length of wear. They contain a slight tint for ease of finding in the solution. There are many cleaning solutions available on the market to use for disinfecting and cleaning the lenses.
The Purevision Toric contact lenses are manufactured by Bausch and Lomb of Rochester, New York and are available at a wide variety of online and land-based optical outlets. The wise buyer will shop around for a reliable supplier and a good price.
