Proper eyecare using the eyedrops that are right for you
Dry eyes are a common complaint of many contact lens wearers.
Old fashioned eye drops often didn't suffice. But this discomfort
is no longer really necessary, considering the medical advances
that have been made in the formula's of eye drops like those of
CibaVision. Important innovations in eye drops from the science
labs are now on the shelves in the shops. Let's take a look at the
different eye drops now available
These are the types of the latest eye drops available
- Hypotonic tear-matched-electrolyte-balance formula. A
difficult name for a brand new lubricating eye drop. It is enhanced
with a preservative called perborate. This is really a special
liquid because on eye contact in time it changes into oxygen and
water. An example of these eyedrops are TheraTears Contact
Lens Comfort Drops from Advanced Vision Research. It takes
one drop on each contact lens before insertion to be comfortable
all day.
- Sodium Hyaluronate eye drops. These are blink activated
drops for all kinds of lenses including night and day contacts.
During blinking these eye drops will become more spreadable. Now
the miracle about this liquid is that it mimics tears. Just like
real tear liquid it becomes thinner when you blink and thickens
to prevent draining from your eye.
These eye drops also contain perborate, a naturally dissolving
preservative.
Sodium Hyaluronate eye drops are produced by Ciba Vision and are
called AQuify eye drops.
- Hydraclear wetting agent. Well I'm sorry but this isn't
an eye drop at all. It is a contact lens made from new materials
including Hydraclear. This helps preventing red- and dry eyes,
it helps to keep your eyes moist. You could callit a contact lens
with build in eye drops. These are usually lenses recommended
for two-week daily wear.
An example of Hydraclear lenses are Acuvue Advance from
Ciba vision.
