Contact lenses are a superb choice for nearly anyone who needs vision correction and doesn't want to wear eyeglasses full time or undergo LASIK surgery. This article will detail contact materials, contact designs and features and even new contact formats. For instance, the first light-adaptive contact lenses, AcuvueOasys with Transitions, debuted in the United States in 2019 and contact lenses embedded with antibiotics are in the works.Soft lenses are made from gel-like, water-containing plastics called hydrogels. These lenses are very thin and pliable and conform to the front surface of the attention. Introduced within the early 1970s, hydrogel lenses made contact wear far more popular because they typically are immediately comfortable. The only alternative at the time was hard contact lenses made from PMMA plastic (see below). PMMA lenses typically took weeks to adapt to and lots of people couldn't wear them successfully.Silicone hydrogel lenses are a complicated sort of soft contact lenses that are more porous than regular hydrogel lenses and permit even more oxygen to succeed in the cornea. Introduced in 2002, silicone hydrogel contact lenses are now the most popular lenses prescribed in the United States.Hybrid contact lenses are designed to provide wearing comfort that rivals soft or silicone hydrogel lenses, combined with the crystal-clear optics of gas permeable lenses.
