Have you been wearing the same contact lenses for the last few years? If so, it might be time for a change. Contact lens manufacturers constantly work on improving contact lenses, to make them healthier, more comfortable and more affordable.
Find out what is new in a contact lens world and how new contacts can improve your life. www.mycontact-lens.com The goal is to produce lenses that you can wear all day long without any danger or discomfort to your eyes.
Contact lens quality has seriously improved over the last few years. See how modern contact lenses can help your eyes to feel and see better. 30 days wear contact lenses How would you like to put your contact lenses in your eyes in the morning and not worrying about them for the next 30 days? Sounds almost too good to be true, but there are contacts that you can safely wear for a month.
Most contact lenses can be worn for no longer than 8-10 hours in a row because the lens blocks the flow of oxygen to your eyes. This can cause irritation and promote bacterial infection. However, the new generation of lenses, made from a different material (silicone hydrogel lenses), have much higher oxygen permeability. For example, Focus Day and Night lets through 6 times more oxygen than conventional contacts.
With more oxygen reaching your eyes, wearing contact lenses for 30 days becomes a safe option. There are two lenses that are FDA approved for continuous wear for up to 30 days - Focus Night and Day by Ciba Vision and Pure Vision by Bausch & Lomb. The downside of extended wear contacts is that if you live or work in a dusty or smoky environment, tiny particles will get into your eyes, so the lenses won't feel comfortable for several days.

Biomedics Contact Lenses
CooperVision's Biomedics XC contact lenses are 1 to 2 week disposable contacts that are worn as daily lenses for up to two weeks and then discarded.
The lenses are made using Biomedics' patented PC technology, from a unique material containing molecules of phosphorylcholine, which is found naturally in human cell membranes, and they have water content of 60 percent.
Biomedics XC is part of CooperVision's PC Hydrogels family of contact lenses, a special category of lens material designed for daily wear that offers excellent health and optimum comfort. Hydrogels fit a wide range of patient prescriptions. All contact lenses in the PC Hydrogel category go beyond the minimum acceptable oxygen necessary for safe daily wear.
Biomedics Premier
A study conducted by Pete Kollbaum, OD, FAAO and Arthur Bradley, PhD, has shown that Biomedics Premier aspheric lenses effectively control spherical aberrations, a problem that commonly occurs after laser eye surgery.
Spherical aberration is a problem caused when light refracts, or bends, at different angles as it shines through both the contact lenses and your eyes. Those light rays are then unable to focus on the back of your eyes. The Biomedics 55 soft Premier contact lenses are the first disposable lenses to help direct the light rays to their correct position at the back of your eyes.
CooperVision/Ocular Sciences Biomedics 55 Premier gives you clear, comfortable sight, using an aspheric design to provide you with the best vision possible. You only wear them for two weeks, so you avoid the buildup of pollutants that can irritate your eyesight and cloud your vision. The lenses are infused with a light tint, making them easy to locate in cleaning solution.
Biomedics Toric
The need for effective toric contact lens correction is vital, with statistics stating that more than 50 million Americans have clinically significant astigmatism. Biomedics Toric is made of ocufilcon D and is designed for 2-week planned replacement. It also has a spherical counterpart for use in case the patient is spherical in one eye.
Biomedics Colors
In April 2002 what was then Ocular Sciences Inc. (a recent acquisition of CooperVision) announced the introduction of Biomedics Colors, a cosmetic contact lens available in four opaque colors that offers beautiful and natural color enhancement matching the eye's innate appearance, while continuing to provide the clinically proven performance of Biomedics 55.
These lenses make use of proprietary technology that incorporates four patterns of color on each lens, resulting in a natural look that closely replicates the numerous patterns and hues within the human iris.
Of course, with the various types of contacts available, the most important thing to keep in mind is to follow your doctor's orders on which kind is required for your eyes. If you're interested in Biomedics contact lenses, check with your doctor and he/she can prescribe the type that's best for you.
