Proclear Compatible Toric Lenses : Increasing the Options

As contact lenses have developed over the years, anyone who had special vision needs, like astigmatism, often found that their choices were more limited than those available to the average contact lens wearer. However, as technology has progressed, so have the features which are now available to choose from for people with astigmatism. Among the new generation of contact lenses that demonstrate this, are Proclear Compatible Toric Lenses.

What Are They?

Proclear Compatible Toric Lenses are manufactured by "Biocompatibles". They are more "compatible" with your natural eye chemistry and structure because they are made with a special technology that helps to reduce the buildup of deposits on the contacts, and allows them to retain more moisture than traditional contact lenses. More moisture means that they can be worn for longer periods of time, and still remain comfortable since your eye does not dry out as quickly.

What Are My Wear-Time Options?

Toric lenses have developed to the point that you now have a variety of options in wear times that you can choose from, even if you have astigmatism and need toric lenses. For example, you can get monthly lenses that are designed to last about 30 days before you throw them away, or you can get lenses that are designed for shorter wear-times if you prefer to minimize or avoid nightly removal and cleaning. If you really want to avoid constant cleaning, you can also choose from extended wear options that allow you to wear your toric lenses, like Proclear Compatibles, all night long.

What about style?

Nowadays, toric lenses like Proclear Compatibles are available in all sorts of colors, to alter your eye color, add a little different hue to your existing eye color, or simply make your lenses easier to find in solution when you are first trying to put them in. Having astigmatism no longer means you have to forego the styles you've seen other people wearing.

What about vision options?

In the past, if you only needed a couple of different levels of vision correction, such as one power for up-close readings and a second power for distance, a simple bifocal contact lens was fine. However, if you lead an active lifestyle like most people, your environment doesn't just involve two different distances. That's why manufacturers have developed multifocal lenses, which provide a wider range of vision correction powers within a single lens, as opposed to only two levels as found in a traditional bifocal lens. The multifocal feature allows for vision correction at multiple changing distances, all incorporated into a single contact lens.

It's nice that contact lens wearers now have a lot of different options that weren't available before. You can enjoy the wide range of vision correction from multifocals, the stylistic choices of color changing and tinting, the convenience of different wear-times and disposability options, as well as the new technology that reduces deposit buildup and helps your contact retain more moisture so you can wear them longer. As a contact lens wearer with astigmatism, you're no longer restricted to just a couple of choices. Instead, you have an endless set of options available to you when you multiply the various features. But when you get around to choosing the best contacts for your astigmatism, you can't go wrong if you go with Proclear Compatible toric lenses. You'll discover a new level of contact lens comfort, and you'll never go back to traditional lenses again.
